''[[Poe's Law|It's totally different]].''|'''[[Vanilla Ice]]''', comparing his "Ice Ice Baby" to [[Queen]]'s "Under Pressure"}}
* As seen by the page quote, [[Vanilla Ice]] tried to avoid paying royalties for "Ice Ice Baby"'s musical background by adding an extra note to [[Queen|"Under Pressure"]] (he later was forced to credit the band).
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8FsXAlN3KY&feature=plcp&context=C4552707VDvjVQa1PpcFOy2mGtH3HrDUAkWKgTZnMR8CwSyMehyz8= "I Missed Us"] by SWV samples a Jimmy Hart Version of the Fairy Fountain theme from [[The Legend of Zelda]].

** Similarilya few of their songs' intros do this. on ''The X Factor'', "Fortunes of War" and "Look for the Truth'' have a very similar chord progression. "Blood Brothers" from ''Brave New World'' and "Face in the Sand" from ''Dance of Death'' open with the same four chord progression, with the latter being slightly more upbeat.
** Also; The Pilgrim's intro and When The Wild Wind Blows middle section have a similar Celtic sounding part, Brighter Than A Thousand Sunsmiddle section and The Legacy's exunt have similar four chord progressions.
* Australian musical comedy group Tripod have, on occasion, included a version of the ''[[
** This was incredibly amusing on the DVD- they sang it properly (crowd joining in) then stopped and said that if it was going to make it on the dvd they'd have to change it, so Scod gets the audience to sing said 'revised' version, which he's improvising, leading to a very confused chorus.
** Apparently they did get the rights for the song anyway- a later performance has them telling the audience that the final stage was sending their version off to the guy who wrote it for his approval, so they wrote a song about ''him''. Hunt it down, it's good fun.
Line 95 ⟶ 97:
** Vocaloid does this a lot. Bonus Points go to Rin Kagamine's "Clockwork", which sounds EXACTLY like the Hooktail Castle theme from [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]], especially the opening. [[Vocaloid in The Walfasverse|"I bet Nintendo would sue her if she wasn't a program."]]
** Altough this might be a coincidence, since Ievan Polkka is an old Finnish folk song.
* The [[wikipedia:National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina|national anthem of Bosnia and Hercegovina]] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130220160721/http://www.navyband.navy.mil/anthems/ANTHEMS/Bosnia%20and%20Herzegovina.mp3 MP3 file]) sounds very like the theme of [[wikipedia:Variations on a Theme by Haydn|Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn]] without being exactly the same melody.
** Bedrich Smetana's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdtLuyWuPDs Die Moldau] (the melody in question begins about a minute in) is a tweaked version of the Italian song [[wikipedia:La Mantovana|La Mantovana]], which is best known as the tune for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjfFpFW9OdA Hatikva], the Israeli national anthem (about thirty seconds in on that video).
** Calixa Lavallée, in composing a national anthem for [[Canada, Eh?|Canada]], borrowed very heavily from a march in ''[[The Magic Flute]]''.
Line 147 ⟶ 149:
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miUswgzf21o "Star Dust"], another Anders Lundqvist tune, sounds similar to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8c8lp6jKPw "Nosmo King"] by Myvoice, whose real name is Jukke Lundqvist(no relation).
*** "The Search for Otherland" rips off Laserdance's "The Challenge".

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mjlM_RnsVE "Monster" by Skillet] has been compared to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8UBRBYBW6U "Animal I Have Become]" by [[Three Days Grace]]. Ironically, both songs have been in a [[Smackdown vs. Raw]] game (2010 and 2007 respectively).

Line 176 ⟶ 178:
* The chorus melody of [[Shakira]]'s "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEAsxXOI3Jw Las de las Intuicion (Pure Intuition)]" sounds similar to Gigi d'Agostino's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w15oWDh02K4 L'amour Toujours (I'll Fly With You)]", and the harmony and instrumentation are lifted almost straight from the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MccmHwA-c4U&feature=fvst theme] of ''[[The Neverending Story (film)|The Neverending Story]]''.
* Nelly's new song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkyfRu-dpvc "Just a Dream"] Sounds suspiciously like Wyclef Jean's song that got released before [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXJXLq1lN7U "Sweetest Girl"]
* ''[http://www.mtv.com/videos/princess-superstar/63910/perfect.jhtml#artist=431 Perfect]'' by Princess Superstar is basically just a bit off from being ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140806030200/http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1v1na_coolio-1-2-3-4-sumpin-new_music (1, 2, 3, 4) Sumpin' New]'' by Coolio.

* TI & Rihanna's "Live Your Life", in addition to interpolating/ripping off "Dragostea din Tei"'s refrain, has a strings riff similar to Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise".
** Which itself took from Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise".
Line 230 ⟶ 232:
* "Posthumus Zone" by E.S. Posthumus Zone, which have been used as a theme song for the NFL on CBS, sounded similar to some piece of background music from [[Dexter's Laboratory]].

* Helalyn Flowers did this with at least two of their songs. "Your Killer Toy", particularly the chorus, is similar to [[
* Lazerhawk's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyP5NgNIqOc Arrival] JHV's two songs. The main backing riff sounds like the first part of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5Hna7XR1Sc Mother boss] theme from ''[[Turok]] 2'', and the melody in the second half, along with the bassline, echoes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XozcBR2ZF70 Purple Motion's part] of the ''Second Reality'' music. Another one of LH's songs, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyEusKu44wc Distress Signal], is a Jimmy Hart version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUgvOoNqW2I Shadow of the Wind] by Stephen Falken(real name unknown).
* Mark Astley(Luca Torchiani)'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NSwCXXUtF0 Super Rider] sounds like the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqwxFeqX-Z0 Garage] music from ''[[San Francisco Rush]] 2049''.

* E.P. Interlude from the beginning of music video for Shade of Culture's [https://youtu.be/HNS3wqhgd-c?t=12 "Mindstate"] sounds similar to [[Rally X|New Rally X]].
