Line 14:
** Eric Bischoff's debut theme in WWE was AC/DC's "Back in Black", but he used a JHV for every subsequent appearance.
** The same thing happened with Balls Mahoney. [[In Name Only|The Sandman]], too...but not so much (it DOES bear some resemblance to "Enter Sandman", but again, [[Your Mileage May Vary|not so much]]).
*** With "Enter Sandman" it was a necessity. Metallica charges $
** The original ECW did this too sometimes...see: Taz's music morphing from the actual "War Machine" by KISS to a JHV, to his "Survive If I Let You" theme that used the opening riff to the JH War Machine and then a completely different melody.
*** WWE Diva Mickie James' entrance theme is pretty obviously the Jimmy Hart Version of <s> "My Sharona" by the Knack. You mean</s> "Oh Mickie" by Tony Basil.
** Also, Bill [[Goldberg]]'s entrance theme in WWE was a Jimmy Hart version of his original WCW entrance theme (An awesome piece of stock music), due to the rights to the song not being available. The WWE version was not as awesome.
*** Victoria had previously used tAtU's "All the Things She Said" but was given a lyrics-less cover version a few months later. The same could be said of [[Christian]]. "Just Close Your Eyes" (both the Waterproof Blonde and the Story of the Year versions) is actually the live-band-recording Jimmy Hart Version of two of his previous themes, "At Last" (which
** Lord help the WWE if they lure [[Bryan Danielson]] in ''without'' getting the rights to "The Final Countdown".
*** Considering the way they're going to likely repackage him, they probably wouldn't even consider giving him something that even remotely sounds like it. Let's consider it "averted" for him...for the moment.
**** Apparently he actually ''did'' get a mild JHV of it in Florida Championship Wrestling, but for storyline reasons he has to use [[The Miz]]'s music in WWE NXT.
*** [[The Simpsons (animation)|He's not Bryan Danielson anymore, he's Harry Plopper]]... er, [[Daniel Bryan]].
*** Averted, as they didn't even bother JHV'ing. When he finally got his own music, at first he was using some generic-sound hard rock. And then he won the US Title, and now uses "[[Ride of the Valkyries]]". The real version. So...upgrade?
** [[Ring of Honor]]'s even started this: the music for their HDNet television show bears a remarkable resemblance to Velvet Revolver's "Slither".
