Some of the tunes here have fond memories for me especially Robo's theme always that and now I know why

I expected this to be written by Elston. Chris is the new Brett?

TECHNICALLY, the Sonic 3 soundtrack is NOT stolen. Michael Jackson was originally the music producer but he was kicked at the last moment for his trouble in the child sexual harassment cases.

I was completely shocked by that Parappa one... My life is a lie!

A couple I've noticed: Part of Rock's Theme from Garou: Mark Of The Wolves sounds a hell of a lot like "Children" by Robert Miles, and The Noisettes chorus of "Don't Upset The Rhythm" sounds a bit like Sonic 2's Boss Theme

The Parapa the Rappa and Can are WAY to simular, it's creepy.

Plus the Muse and Top Gear one was ftw.

What about Dimmu Borgir's "Sorgens Kammer", which was ripped off from the game Agony?

I would personally be honoured if someone used my music in a video game.

Fair usage, right?

My mum just told me something rather fascinating.
Route 101 from Pokemon Red/Blue sounds almost EXACTLY like Polly Wolly Doodle. There's anotehr lil song thieving.

I agree that all of these sound similar, but I'm still having a hard time hearing the similarities between Your Name, Please and that Monty Python track. They sound completely different to me...
