Video Games That Stole Their Music

Date:

Who knew theft could be so easy? Today we talk about Video Game music and the many types of ‘inspirations’ composers have taken. It’s easy to call something stolen, but what actually qualifies as plagarism? That’s what we’ll be looking at today!

  1. All of these issues wouldn't be if Music had a better copyright system, maybe akin to CC.
    People are used to remix stuff and they love to do it.

  2. No wonder my English grammar book says that Filipinos are LESS IMITATIVE THAN THE JAPANESE.
    Ya seein' something in there?

  3. The FF7 one made me think about the similarities between it and part of the opening of "for whom the bell tolls" by Metallica, specifically around 1:50 and further until the lyrics hit.

  4. Here is another one, idk if it is plagiarism:

    The vocals of "Dejame vivir" by Rocio Durcal and Juan Gabriel.

    And

    Super Mario Maker theme.

  5. HELL,WE ONLY HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF NOTES,SO HOW COULD WE MAKE MORE SONGS WITHOUT MAKING THEM SOUND LIKE SHIT OR NOT BE ASSOCIATING ON ANOTHER SONG OR SHIT,HELL…

    PLAGERISM FOR MUSIC'S SOME NEEDLESS SHIT,IT'D BE LIKE CALLING GRASS PLAGERIZERS FROM "STEALING" A COLOR FROM THE TREES OR SOME SHIT…

  6. i think, another good example is ken's theme from street fighter, sounding similiar to a song from top gun

  7. do a vid on stellar stone, aka the people who made big rigs which is considered to be THE lowest rated game on metacritic with a score of 8/100. aswell as the others who don't even have a single score attached to em. plsssssss

  8. Ive been around this subject for awhile now. I feel the need to highlight a few songs that have many composers ripping them off so:
    Deep Purple – April
    Gustav Holst – The planets – Mars
    J.S. Bach – Toccata and Fugue in d minor
    Tangerine dream – Alchemy of the heart
    Tangerine dream – Mojave plan
    The Terminator (movie) – Factory Chase
    Star Wars – Imperial March
    Claude Debussy – Bergamasque – Passepied
    There are others, but id say those are the big ones that are ripped off.

  9. I vividly remember playing a flash game when I was little called super d where you were a little cube and you had to climb a tower. Later I was in a Pizza Hut in Arkansas and I heard the music in a claw machine game. The music was infectious, and years later I learned it was dr. Wiley’s theme and I was so shocked. What a bomb ass nes song to be used in video games everywhere.

  10. one you missed was another song by the jetsonzs called "When the sun goes down" and the opening part of Marble hill zone

  11. I think the concept of owning music is problematic. Music should be for everyone as musicians get inspiration from everyone else. This artificial shortage of music ownership in a capitalist system is doing more harm than good to the freedom of musical expression. There are only so many notes and chords to play that people find pleasing

  12. I wish you had covered Gusty Garden Galaxy only because I can’t remember what song it corresponds to but know I’ve heard it before

  13. i tried looking up that version of what you wont do for love from 1967 and i cant find it? 😀 someone have it?

  14. A song in pizza tower (I forgot the name and I'm not searching through the soundtrrack) yook inspiration from a tyler the creator song pretty blatantly. the song that tyler made was called jamba btw

  15. Its so upsetting about budokai because it is THE MOST DRAGON BALL dragon ball soundtrack there ever was and i still go back to listen to it from time to time

  16. calling alot of these stealing is ridiculous theres only so many notes so theres going to be coincidences like that
    of course some may be stealing but alot of them are just coincidences some of the examples barely even sound similar too

  17. Nice work, RelaxAlax! Could you make a video called "Video Games That Both Sample Songs And Sample Video Games"?
