Similar Music

[InsigTurtle]

Which pieces that have you heard sound similar melody-wise to another piece, video game or otherwise?

For example: The Green Train's Fun, Too! from Mother 3 and the surfing music from Pokémon Black and White

[Echo]

From the same games in the first post: Mother 3's "Theme of Love" and Pokemon Black/White's "N's Farewell"

There was some harmony part I learned in the wizard of oz that sounded exactly like the Hive Mecha Theme from Metroid Prime. I have no clue why I noticed that.  And, on a random side note, I could faintly hear the college graduation music from my house. I kept hearing a bar or two that made me expect it to turn into the fire emblem theme. I think I need to listen to less video game music.

Here's one, concerning the one of the motifs first heard at 0:55 in this piece, and the melody in this guy, starting around 0:15. It's really just the descending triplets that sound similar.

Well of course, who wouldn't want to copy Liszt?

I'm bumping this guy up because I don't want to create a new topic.
This one, I've noticed for a while now, but it's still pretty neat.

This one's similarities are quite a bit weaker, but I've seen a lot of comparisons between it and the former two.
