Line 14:
** The ''[[James Bond]]'' parody couch gag uses an obvious knock-off of its famous opening theme.
** The episode where Homer becomes a hippy replaces the end theme with the bass and drums from [[The Beatles (Music)|Tomorrow Never Knows]], with a sitar playing the Simpsons theme on top - [[Hilarious in Hindsight|several years before]] Giles Martin played the vocals and sitar of Within You Without You over the same, causing the Simpsons version to sound like a [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] version of that.
** Several early episodes had a bit of incidental music that was a tweaked version of Edvard Grieg's [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_Mood:Morning Mood|"Morning Mood"]] from ''Peer Gynt''; it was used to in the same manner as Grieg's original, to denote the dawning of a new day. Since the composition was in the public domain when those episodes were produced, it remains unclear why they didn't use the Grieg original. Even more confusingly, the 8th Season episode "Bart Carny" ''does'' actually use the original, untweaked "Morning Mood".
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZB5cM_6Ru8&feature=related Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers theme song] was probably intended as a spoof of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaQvBbzslJE MacGyver vignette].
* ''Histeria'', an educational cartoon about history, parodied a lot of songs with similar, but original, melodies. In the episode on Teddy Roosevelt, adapted versions of "Wooly Bully" (as "Bully Bully") and "Ghostbusters" (as "Trustbuster") were both used, altered enough to be free of royalties.
