Video game songs inspired by non-video game songs?

[VinnyVideo]

An interesting topic! You've probably noticed that the SMB3 airship music also resembles the song you linked.

On a similar note, Saria's Song in Zelda 64 takes a bit of inspiration from the Jupiter theme from The Planets.

I can think of a bunch of examples from DKC2, which remains one of my favorite game soundtracks:

• Haunted Chase is pretty obviously inspired by The Night on Bald Mountain
  
• In A Snow-Bound Land is inspired by Antarctica from Vangelis
  
• The drumbeat in Bayou Boogie is basically the same drumbeat in "In the Air Tonight" from Phil Collins
  
• Some people think Stickerbrush Symphony takes some cues from "I Will Remember You" from Amy Grant
  
• The game's theme song resembles March of the Kings (always high on the list of underappreciated Christmas carols!)

Course clear! You got a card.
