Just noticed this when listening to Tidal Tempest Bad Future the other day; the part in Reptile's movie theme starting around about 45 seconds sorta matches the part of Tidal Tempest BF starting around 6 seconds. This is an odd case because CD predates the first MK movie.

I knew I heard Tidal Tempest Bad Future somewhere before. Thanks for sharing this:)

This isn't a full song comparison, but...

Monster Truck Madness 64, 1:32 in

Viewtiful Joe Power-Up Shop, 0:20 in

Sonic Heroes Power Plant, 0:16 in

What am I hearing? I don't know if this is a sample, or what it's a sample of, but it crops up every now and then in songs and it drives me nuts not knowing the source.

I went through the thread to see if it's been mentioned before and it seems that it hasn't, so...

Sonic '06 - Egg Wyvern
Phantasy Star Online - 'IDOLA' have the immortal feather
Me horribly mashing the two together

Given that Sonic Team worked on both games, I don't consider this merely a coincidence.

So with that sampling site pointing the original song I saw the sentence that makes the lyrics for back to back comes from "The Haunted house of Rock" - "spinning on the turntables back to back", so the samples are ingame like this:> is - pinning -on the - turn -tables - back - to - back. With that in mind, I put it's sequence file and the soundbank on a midi player and separated the channels so we can finally have the official lyrics!

Back to Back, spinning on the back
Back to Back on the turntables back
Back to Back, spinning on the back
Back to Back, on the back to back

Back to Back, spinning on the back
Back to Back on the turntables back
Pinning on the turn, spinning on the turntables back, to, back

[start of the loop]

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

Is Back to Back, Hey
Back to Back, Hey
On the Back to Back, Hey
Back to Back, Hey
Is Back to Back, Hey
Back to Back, Hey
Spinning on the turn, spinning on the turntables back, to, back, Hey

Spinning on the back
On the turntables back

Spinning on the back
On the turntables back

Spinning on the back
On the back, On thepinning on the back

On the back, spinning on the back
Turntables back, turn, spinning on the turn
Spinning is Back to Back, Hey

Back to Back, Hey

on the Back to Back, Hey

Back to Back, Hey

Is Back to Back, Hey

Back to Back, Hey

Spinning on the turn, spinning on the turntables, on the back to back

Back to Back, spinning on the back
Back to Back on the turntables back
Back to Back, spinning on the back
Back to Back, on the back to back

Back to Back, spinning on the back
Back to Back on the turntables back
Pinning on the turn, spinning on the turntables back, to, back, Hey


[end of the loop]

It has to be said that because of the person pronountiation the "on the" can really be taken as "only" specially with their sounds sped up, but I'm just putting how the samples are played and not how the song has more sense xD. Also, tables is more sped up than turn so tables is very difficult to hear, but if you put it on an aundio editor and make it play at half speed you can tell it's tables.

I hope we can get all lyrics from all songs!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but listening to the Knuckles Chaotix soundtrack and the song "Child's song" reminded me of something else.
this at 0:04 reminded me of this at 0:17.

I'm not sure if this is a common clown-esque music piece or a complete coincidence.

The similarity is perhaps more apparent in this arranged version:

I probably should update the first post. That one in particular has been listed at least 4 times haha.

I think I may have posted this already but as a separate thread quite a while back but it's pretty much worth posting here again.

The album "Raise the Pressure" by Electronic (collab album) has a track on it that uses percussion not sampled from Sonic 1/2, but uses what I'm guessing is the exact same ones in the games themselves.
It's track 12 "How Long"-

Well, they were both composed by Hideaki Kobayashi. So yeah.

Might be a bit of a stretch, but I found some more similar sounds that were used in Sonic Adventure that can be found on Korg synths.

My favorite find (maybe) is that I found the saw wave lead that's used in Twinkle Park - Pleasure Castle, one of my favorite songs. What makes this kind of a stretch is that it comes from the Korg M1, which is one of the first music workstations. They were still being manufactured and stuff around 1994 though, so maybe it's possible. The sound comes from the "MS-20" preset (one of Korg's analog synths btw), which is featured on the MPC-11 AKIRA card, preset 96. I took a Pleasure Castle MIDI and recorded live with Audacity so I can mess with the portamento controller in real time and I came up with this. Sounds similar, doesn't it?

The next one comes from the M1 as well. The drum snare that's used in "Hey You! It's Time to Speedup!" track is another sample that can be found here as well. This can be found under the BD&SDCatlog1 preset on the Korg Legacy Collection card. There might be other drum samples from here as well, but I can't seem to find any easily.

I wish I knew what drum machine Jun Senoue used for some of his songs, though.

The Korg M1 was wildly popular and is still used even today. Thats pretty cool dude. Theres a few of them, like if you are using Legacy Collection go into Legacy Cell and find "Sign Lead", its very similar to the mystic mansion lead.

I can ask him on Twitter, but for which songs? Pleasure Castle?

I think this fits here. If it doesn't, who the fuck cares because your ears are too busy orgasming.

Holy shit. This is outstanding. You know a song's good when it starts using huge, victorious bells and it doesn't sound overblown or cheesy because the song's just that good.
I think this is probably the finest Green Hill arrangement I've heard in a long time, possibly ever.
