Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm a very musical person. I listen to music nonstop. I consider myself an accomplished musician. I play songs by ear during most of my free time. I'm currently working on hydrocity, pushing onward, and world to explore, for example. Anyways, I notice similar musical ideas and expressions in video game music, (a LOT) and I'm interested in what some other people out there have heard. I got this idea a few months ago from a video Mr. Lange has on his youtube channel, called running the stardust wheel. I just never got to making a thread. Without further ado, here is some BGM i can think of that sounds similar off of the top of my head: The beginning of the DBZ SSW title screen and Another pair is and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the original has that, but I just remembered hearing that in that song when I heard the above song for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Wow, I almost hate to do this. It may be the key of the song, but I don't know what key Chocolate rain is in. Blue da ba dee is in B flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 But wait. There's more. and I know that there's a lot of songs that sound similar to serious influence, (such as ELO songs) but this one reminds me of it the most. I don't know why. I hate this style of music.

Apricity Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I always thought the canned HEAT thing was intentional for redHOT ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apricity Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I know, I just thought that since the level was called that in ATS that using parts from Canned Heat in the music was fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfinityAlex Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah, I guess there's a few similarities, but you'll only find them if you're looking for them specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 http://youtu.be/XkohiUCX0owhttp://youtu.be/-XrDr-CPHZI apparently. I definitely see where you're coming from. But didn't you compose Ghosts with guitars? Is that what you were going for? Edit: Yes, you did compose ghosts with guitars. So is that what you were going for?

Ristar Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Absolutely not, but it's been pointed out quite a few times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Absolutely not, but it's been pointed out quite a few times! Kind of funny, actually. It's almost like you changed a few notes, sounds, and rythyms and slapped 'em together in a different order and called it a day. Don't take that the wrong way, it's completely original, and Ghosts with Guitars is for sure one of my favorite ats songs. I'd say a solid 3rd place.

Rawr Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's almost like you changed a few notes, sounds, and rythyms and slapped 'em together in a different order and called it a day. It's almost like he made a completely different song or something! Personally I don't really hear it much myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawr Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 There is very little there that I'd say the songs are very similar. Especially that first comparison. I can -sort- of (its a bit of a stretch) hear where you are coming from in that second one but it's still different enough I would never draw the comparison even still.

The first one isn't the notes, it's more so the rhythm. The second one seems pretty accurate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jassbec Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Mushroom City from Mario Kart Double Dash has this part that sounds like GO GO POWER RANGERS. http://youtu.be/jKia_VK6yfE?t=27s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 So i was replaying megaman 10. and heard this: 1:00 - 6:00 of this song. And I immediately thought of: That. The beginning scene also kinda sounds like it, I'm not really sure why. There's not much of a similarity, but at the same time there is. I guess it's just a personal thing.

gokaiblue Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 For the first example in this thread, I'm betting Yamamoto composed the score for Supersonic Warriors, since DBZ and plagarism are kinda his deal. As for another musical similarity, I always thought the riff from Final Rush kinda sounds like the riff from Paperback Writer, just in a different key.

Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Sorry for double post but... This one is a big one! It's a double! I decided to play megaman six for fun, and i was hit with a huge nostalgia attack... Listen to then pause.It sounds like a part from this weird Touhou video I saw a long time ago... it starts at 1:39 but stop at 1:42 Go back to the megaman one, and stop playing it at 0:17. It sound just like this part of green hill zone! Now I can go play megaman 6 peacefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I don't care that i posted 3 times. I found a website called soundsjustlike, and it's really cool. Theres this one thing... http://soundsjustlike.com/steriogram-kinks/ which ironically sounds similar to tropical resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gokaiblue Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yamamoto strikes again! This time, he's ripping off The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby Super Butoden 2 http://youtu.be/gxc1P5qblro?t=27s Eleanor Rigby (using the Give My Regards to Broadstreet version to put emphasis on the melody ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
