Did mario steal the muppet song? - I can't help but hear an extreme similiarity

[ArgonianVoter]

mario's secret track:

muppet song:

I know they're different but just between the two they sound so much alike, perhaps it's a coincidence; or maybe the muppets inspired some mario music, what do you think?

 

[NotYourAverageNigga]

Did pizza tower steal from mario and the muppets?

 

[BradeRunna]

No, they don't sound similar at all. Considering how lawsuit happy Nintendo is I don't see them doing anything to get sued back as far as copyright is concerned.

they pass better than Birdo at least

 

[Executive Petrel]

The plumber cuck is a ripoff look at the communist flag in super bingwahoo world

 

[Cat tit bingo]

I don't think you can copyright "doo"

 

[LifeAlert]

Those sound nothing like each other. However, I know that Mario did completely ripoff Soulja Boy:

Go ahead and tell me niggertendo didn't. I'll wait.

buddy, music steals from music all the time.
from Deadly Premonition and Super Mario World

Chrono Trigger and Pokemon

Touhou and Iron Maiden

We've only got so many notes, in so many ear-pleasong assortments. We're bound to steal at some point.

Another Touhou one: There some similarity between Fate of 60 Years and Pigs (Three Different Ones) by Pink Floyd.

I don't think it's a rip off because most of the Pigs song is definitely different. But I do wonder if it was an inspiration. Could also just be a coincidence. Like you said, there's only so many ways to put sounds together.

from Deadly Premonition and Super Mario World

It gets even funnier here because people also point out frequently the mario world stage theme is just a slightly altered cover version of this song.

A lot of vidya composers are kind of music nerds or normal musicians so it makes sense these kinds of things happen. Sometimes you end up with cases like the sonic games where they're just instrumental versions of songs that either have yet to come out or already were out. This happened wth those games up until the adventure titles, where the backing music for one stage is literally just the instrumental track of this song.

Another popular example is the Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone theme:

What *I* want to know, however, is what Clowns Farting in the Basement was ripped off from:

the thiefs are the most litigous. look at games workshop; they build the preeminent wargaming company by shameleslly ripping off tolkein, heavy metal, starship troopers ( the book), and a hundred other ips and they would sue your grandmother for milk money if they thought they could get away with it

I think the weirdest trivia I found out was that the late 80s-early 90s gi joe stuff design wise took heavy inspiration from warhammer 40k stuff from the time. It only directly talked about the vehicles in the trivia I saw but I can kinda see it in a lot more than just those and it all started kinda clicking together.


Mildly off topc but still cool/similar of a thing.

 

[Procopius]

Dunno about that one, but the main muppet theme was clearly "borrowed" from a pre-war German musical.

Nintendo is very protective of their intellectual property. They will go after anyone.
