That's a good one!
I can't provide samples for this one at the moment and it's not game related, but I just remembered that the Nine Inch Nails song A Warm Place sounds practically like a cover of David Bowie's Crystal Japan.  |

There's a part in Journey's Wheel in the Sky that sounds like the main riff of Layla.

The ending to Link to the Past and the prologue to Final Fantasy.
One of the songs from the Pokmon show's CD (the song called "everything changes") has a melody very similar to those from Billie Jean (and to Beat It) and Ain't No Mountain. |

The humming interlude in "I'll stop the world and melt with you".
The NBC theme. |

Someone wrote to Ebert that it's easy to segue from "A Spoonful of Suger" to the ending of the Imperial March.

I think that "Still of the Night" (the Pure Land music) from Secret of Mana sounds like a slowed-down version of "Don't Answer Me" by the Alan Parsons Project. Maybe if I stop being lazy enough, I'll create mp3s that compare the two...

A famous example is Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. and I Want a New Drug by Huey Lewis. It's famous because Huey Lewis successfully sued for plagiarism. It is really easy to segue from one to the other.

Someone on a messageboard said Earthbound used sampling for a lot of their music and the Moonside theme actually samples Ric Ocasek.
I thought that was cool... |

There is definitely a song in Earthbound that samples the transition in the middle of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life". I think it's when Ness gets transported to Magicant or possibly when he leaves Magicant, I'm not sure, but it's one or the other.

I just found out what all those search terms for "dr mario lady madonna" meant. I heard that song (Lady Madonna) on the radio on the way home from work just now, and it sounds almost exactly like one of the songs in Dr. Mario. Since Hip Tanaka did the music for Dr. Mario, and it's well-known he was influenced by The Beatles, I doubt it's coincidence:
Lady Madonna Dr. Mario |

I'll try to get audio clips of these later, but I want to post them now before I forget:
The instrumental break right before the last verse in Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" sounds remarkably similar to the instrumental break right before the last verse in Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". The intro of Free's "All Right Now" sounds a lot like the intro of Steve Miller Band's "Rockin' Me".

There's a song by Pink Floyd that always fools me into thinking it's the Rolling Stones' Wild Horses whenever I hear it. Don't know what
it's called, though.

The Mega Man 2 Wily Castle song sounds like "Massacre" by Thin Lizzy.

FO was talking about how some songs were switched at birth last night. One was Edgar Winter's Frankenstein and something else.
See how your opinion ruined Christmas for everyone!

That Thin Lizzy song also sounds a lot like the "Stage Theme 1" from NES Silver Surfer:

The intro riff to Weezer's "Take Control" is similar to the main riff of "Children of the Revolution" (Violent Femmes, and also T Rex,
but I haven't heard that version)
