** [[https://youtu.be/T1BB0JZcS4A "Deathtrap"]] from ''[[VideoGameRemake REmake]]'' and [[https://youtu.be/5-ocyM-07Ps "Agony"]] from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' are suspiciously similar to [[https://youtu.be/KsBRVU3zEvY "Steadfast Extermination"]] and [[https://youtu.be/tU9jqARgZDY "Hell's Churn"]], respectively, from the UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''.

** You can't not notice the similarity between the start of Ken's theme from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' and [[https://youtu.be/oLoSzlq57Ps Cheap Trick's Mighty Wings]]. Some people suspect that it was originally meant to be Guile's theme since "Mighty Wings" was also used in ''Film/TopGun'', but Capcom got cold feet about the legality of such an on-the-nose ShoutOut just like they did with "[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Mike Bison]]".

* The surf rock track that underscores the first stage of ''VideoGame/GodHand'' as well as serving as a sort of {{Leitmotif}} for Gene, officially titled "Gene's Rock-a-Bye", is clearly inspired by Music/TheVentures' famous theme to ''SeriesHawaiiFiveO''.

* When Creator/{{Capcom}} re-released ''VideoGame/{{Aladdin|Capcom}}'' for the GBA, their rights to "Friend Like Me" and "Whole New World" had expired, so they were forced to replace them with similar sounding new tunes. The original SNES version did this from the start with a "One Jump Ahead" substitute for the first level, and an "Arabian Nights" one for a cutscene.
