Songs That Sound Strangely Similar

[Jolly Co-operator]

Title says it all, really. The songs can be from anything you want, but I'd prefer it if you refrained from using the extremely obvious ones ("Ice Ice Baby" sounding like "Under Pressure", for example).

My pick is the Final Fantasy 10 main battle theme and "Europa" by Santana (If someone could tell me how to embed a video, I'd be grateful)


The similarities with Europa start at the 22 second mark.

Here's how you embed videos. First, take the URL.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C34BzC7rnos Here it is. Now, remove everything up to the word "youtube."

youtube.com/watch?v=C34BzC7rnos

Okay, and now remove everything between the dot after "youtube" and the = like this:

youtube=C34BzC7rnos

And now just put ] at the end and [ at the beginning, like this:

Thanks for the info, much appreciated I went back and edited my post to have the videos embedded, if you want to compare the songs for yourself.

It's mostly the chorus but David bowie's Ziggy stardust and marilyn manson's president dead sonud pretty similar to me.

"Suicide Mission" from Mass Effect 2
And "I Am The Doctor" from the beginning of Matt Smith's run in Doctor Who.
I remember when season 5 started and that song started playing. "Wait, what? That's the Mass Effect 2 theme"! It's like having two of my favorite things in one.

The theme song from HancockAnd the hymn Jerusalem, the real British National Anthem.
with a bit of another classical piece thrown in but the name escapes me right now.

 

[Pink Gregory]

The opening of the theme from a Fistful of Dollars sounds a little, little bit like Ghost Riders in the Sky.

Fascinating.

 

[Flutterguy]

Parts of the organ played throughout Chest Fever by The Band always reminded me of the last world of Spyro 3, or well Spyro reminded me of chest fever i suppose..

I really cant come into this topic and not bring up the Sum 41/Coldplay thing either.

[TheDarklite]

The Conquest: Frontier Wars Terran theme:

Sounds incredibly similar to the Starship Troopers theme:

And I love both of them!

 

[Victim of Progress]

You want similarities? I'll give you similarities, Phoenix Wright fans. In your face!

[Ghostface2206]

well, this:


Always kind of reminds me of this:


I'm only really talking about the opening here, the melody is almost identical.
I'm also aware that Emerald Coast may or may not be based off of a song from Sonic 3D Blast. (they re-used a few tracks from 3D Blast in Sonic Adventure 1, for example: Panic Puppet Zone and Twinkle Park sound the exact same)

 

[Arslan Aladeen]

I can answer this with just one song.

It pretty much sounds like every song ever.

 

[Master_of_Oldskool]

The melody and main riff from Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-


Sounds exactly like Pirate Flag by Kenny Chesney-


Although I have a sneaking suspicion that Pirate Flag isn't so much "similar" as "blatantly ripped off."
