Magic Pockets had music by Betty Boo

I used The Grand Old Duke Of York in Bill's Tomato Game.

I used another known tune in another game, but both will have to remain nameless as a quick google search has revealed that it is still in copyright. Therefore I should never have used it. Oops. I thought it was really old.

I can't think of any others.

Tim Wright used O Little Town of Bethlehem in Lemmings, for which Psygnosis got sued.

s2325 · 26 July 2011, 16:32

But who have rights to O Little Town of Bethlehem?

FromWithin · 26 July 2011, 17:59

No idea. The rights have probably expired by now.

Aren't there other themes from Wiz'n'Liz which are inspired by some popular songs/themes (like Lemmings)?

I am pretty sure the Mine Land theme is a well-known theme (although I could not put a name on it

):

Or have I played the game too much and think its themes are popular themes?

Also, Apidya future/techno level uses samples from L.A. Style's James Brown is Dead:

Actually, when I listen to the whole techno soundtrack I have the feeling that there are samples from other techno songs I have heard although I could not point to anything specific.
Perhaps I am mistaken though. Or maybe it is due to some samples belonging to some sample/SFX collections that were sold to musicians and are therefore present in several music titles and other media (video games, movies etc...).

The legendary One-On-One basketball from Electronic Arts, one of the first games I ever saw running on an Amiga. Only works with Kickstart 1.2, and features a nice version of Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. I audio-ripped it very recently, since it seems impossible to play on DeliPlayer. In The Zone! in a couple of minutes!

I always loved your soundtrack for Globdule. There is one tune, that reminds me a lot of Go West by Pet shop boys.

FromWithin · 27 July 2011, 14:23

Thanks very much. I'd be interested to know which tune as it certainly wasn't intentional.

wanderer · 27 July 2011, 14:31

Great soundtrack Globdule, yes! It must be globdulenice3, listening to it right now. Sounds just a bit like Go West at the beginning. It would be great if you could do a quick mp3 upload of those tunes that don't play well on a pc, if it's not much of a hassle of course.

Manhattan Dealers/Operation Cleanstreets uses a rendition of Oh Susanna as background music.

Chuck Rock's title is based on Wishbone Ash - Phoenix (great early 70's prog), mostly on the chorus. I'd like it, it rocks, except that it's a ripoff, there's no credits given to the original author/song.

Here's Youtube links,

Something on the ST (and likely the amiga version too) had pretty much a copy of Rebel MC - Street Tuff. It was a puzzle game... can't remember the title...
