I was under the impression Neon Tiger/My Michelle was completely on purpose

[blackdevil4321]

It is. Who said these had to be coincidental?

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest- Fireburg Band

Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Norris- I mean Berry.

[RandolMcDandol]

You could do this same exercise all day with many kinds of music from many time periods. Tonal music is based on the diatonic scale, which is capable of forming only a limited number of chord groups. These chord groups are used to construct pretty much all of music as we know it, so it is easy to find similar patterns everywhere.

Some of the examples above may have been deliberate parody, but most of them are certain to have been coincidence.

Cannon in D was obviously borrowed.

Hydlide theme brings a smile to my face because reminds me of avgn

[emptyspotlight]

Metroid NES - Brinstar= the turtles- so happy together

[ZombieFighter95]

I think Indiana Jones and A Boy And His Blon is on purpose... I mean look how the title of A Boy And His Blob is written... the same as Indiana Jones... look it up on Google Images

[HelloFade2]

You know there is a website called "TotallyLooksLike" where a person can upload 2 pictures of things, weather they're celebrities,people they know,inanimate objects or whatever that they think look similar or identical to eachother. Well i think there should be a site called "TotallySoundsLike" where you can upload 2 audio samples of songs or parts of songs that you think sould alike

[Fuzunga]

The Banjo Kazooie one is obviously intentional. I always thought it was cleaver, since you play as a bear.
