Metroid & Floyd.

Pink Floyd's Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and Metroid Prime. Very similar music. Coincidence or just one of those things?

And how about that Beyonce song the other year that had what sounded to me like the effect from Galaga all the way through it. The sound the ships made as they dropped down the screen.

One of the checkout sounds in my local Sainsburys also sounds just like an 80s game.

Must stop taking drugs.

Dosent the song RV by faith No More have the music from the water levels in super mario bros 3?

Or maybe I just imagined it.

[Ady]

No, it really does. Or at least it sounds very, very much like it.

Either way, I think you meant the underwater music from the 1st Super Mario Bros game...

[Decider-VT]

Haha, wow. Was there ever any comment on whether or not they copied the music?

[noobish hat]

The Angel Dust album that RV comes from was FULL of samples of other people's music, and I think a few songs actually got pulled from it because they couldn't get clearance.

Anyway, I've always thought Golden Brown sounds a lot like the Windmill theme from Ocarina of Time.
