LOL, Bach with sunglasses!

[FlamingRuby]

I never noticed the Zelda one!

[OmagaMinion]

@FlamingRuby the zelda one was the only one I noticed

Also, the Dragon Warrior I overworld theme and the beginning of the 4th movement of Debussy's Suite Bergamasque. Check it out!

@HisRoyalDudeliness For some, definitely, but that hack one had to be straight from that classical song or something because it was exactly the same.

[shinphatman]

good call on zelda!

[HisRoyalDudeliness]

Total coincidence of course. *ROLLS EYES*

Also, a part of the Blue Danube Waltz sounds sort of like the water theme from Mario Bros.

[Riveascor]

honestly when you look at the 12 tones on the chromatic scale there's only so many permutations that are possible. Something is bound to repeat every now and then

@Hokkaido666 100% of all music is derived from something that has been already before... :D

Danophile and Lux - Lux is correct. None of the songs in this video are identical, as far as I can tell. However, that doesn't mean that the video game music wasn't influenced by those particular classical pieces.
