Archaon Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I hate when people say Robo's Theme is ripped off of Never Gonna Give You Up. People tend to confuse "meshes well with" and "ripped off from" when it comes to music on the Internet. Not everyone is at your level of musical expertise, alright DarkeSword? Some of us chose to take a different path in life. THAT DOESN'T MAKE US BAD PEOPLE. HAVE SOME MERCY FOR GOD'S SAKE. Quote

Power Smoothie Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 This could have been mentioned before, but the first time I heard Wizzy by Nu Foundation ( ) my immediate thought was "robotnik's theme!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnPgETMe69gI don't suspect plagiarism, but you have to wonder... Quote

That's a little close for me... I'd say it's different ENOUGH to be original, but... eeeehhhhh.... Quote

But was this song made before Robotnik's Theme in 1992? Clearly, it wasn't. Quote
Power Smoothie Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Nu Foundation's only been active in the early 00s onwards, as far as I'm aware. Nu Foundation could have ripped off the 1992 theme, I guess. Quote
JH Sounds Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I think it's the third time I pointed this out, but still... Yoshi's Story vs. Tchaikovsky Probably just a tribute, but still lol. Quote

EdgeCrusher Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I'm not terribly familiar with it myself, but wasn't the entire DOOM soundtrack ripped off rock songs or something? Yeah, Doom and Doom 2 consisted of popular rock and metal bands at the time. That's where the whole "Bobby Prince is a dirty thief" website came in and posted them all. I wonder if thats still up....

José the Bronx Rican Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Since I've got a minute, I'll offer two interesting similarities I discovered a while ago. ------------------------------------------ Sonic Adventure 2 - Fly in the Freedom [Theme of Rouge] - 2001; brass arrangement, 3:31-fadeout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICnW8aEAX4w Brand New Heavies - Dream On Dreamer - 1994; brass arrangement, 2:05-2:26 and 2:46-fadeout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrH6dUGHiTg ------------------------------------------ Sonic Adventure - Limestone Cave [icecap] - 1999 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT4N2bczvtg&feature=channel_page Swing Out Sister - Icy Cold as Winter - 1997 Quote

Sockpuppet Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Ooh, looks like a chance to advert- uh, I mean share the Youtube series I just took over (with permission). http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F6573DE5F92499BD Here's a collection of similarities between VG music and other music. Among all the vague ones and proper arrangements are some really interesting examples. Quote

StandingInMotion Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 It's small, but as soon as I heard it in dotHack, I had to rewind it: Fidchell - Chain of Fate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApLwKkDbcjM at 1:03 vs Kefka's Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmZyTwVVqY Quote
Piracy Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 I always thought the from street fighter 2 was somehow related to Same, at least the intro. Now if it was Guile's theme it would make a lot more sense. Quote
Vyse of Arcadia Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Weren't bits of the Super Mario RPG soundtrack taken from some classical works? I think "Still the Road is Full of Dangers" was, maybe? Quote
Keller Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA Matthew Bellamy has said Bliss is his favourite song because it's got all these 80s arpeggios and keyboards on it which remind me of some music I heard on some children’s music programme when I was five. I think I ripped it off that. And that reminds me of when I was a bit simpler, a bit more of a pleasant state.[1] Thanks wikipedia, I wonder if Mathhew Bellamy played top gear. Quote
Remix Challenge Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 For someone who made such a lofty introduction on the newbie board, this is a rather mundane post...however, I found it interesting, perhaps you will as well: I noticed a rather eerie similarity between the songs for Buoy Base Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy: http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/wii/supermariogalaxy-floaterlandXGv1.mid and the Crimean Army Sortie from SSBB/Fire Emblem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPsXPAc_k5k&feature=PlayList&p=11C96F1C0DD828C8&index=5 For Buoy Base, the similar bit starts at around 00:50, and in Crimean Army Sortie it starts after the intro, or at 00:14. The two melodies are nearly the same. Do they share the same composer? (the SMG one was composed by Mahito Yokota, according to my soundtrack; I have no idea who composed the Crimean Army Sortie or its original form) Thoughts? Ideas? Quote
yangfeili Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Metroid and Ys stole their "Item Get" jingle from each other. Or both stole it from some common third source. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyFeGs5xeV0 Quote
