* Also, "Across the Stars", the love theme from ''AttackOfTheClones'', is a ShoutOut by John Williams to Nino Rota's theme from the 1968 film of ''RomeoAndJuliet''. Even the title is an IncrediblyLamePun on "StarCrossedLovers".
* Arguably, the Imperial March (Darth Vader's theme) from ''TheEmpireStrikesBack'' is TheJimmyHartVersion of the third movement of Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35...the part known as Chopin's Funeral March.
* John Williams does this to his own works as well. Anakin's theme in ''ThePhantomMenace'' is TheJimmyHartVersion of Darth Vader's theme. "Augie's Great Municipal Band" music in the same movie is TheJimmyHartVersion of "The Emperor" music in ''ReturnOfTheJedi''. Part of the "A New Hope" music in ''RevengeOfTheSith'' is TheJimmyHartVersion of "Hedwig's Theme" from the ''Film/HarryPotter'' series.
* TheJimmyHartVersion of {{Queen}}'s "Who Wants To Live Forever?" shows up in the movie ''{{Highlander}} II: The Quickening''. Queen wrote a hit album of songs for the first one, but they couldn't be bothered to record anything for the sequel. [[{{Sequelitis}} Good for them, too]].
* The short film ''George Lucas in Love'' (a [[SatireParodyPastiche pastiche]] of ''ShakespeareInLove'') has TheJimmyHartVersion of the ''StarWars'' theme for the end credits music.
* "Make 'Em Laugh" from ''Film/SinginInTheRain'' is one of the movie's few original songs not from a previous MGM musical. Well, maybe original InNameOnly, since it bears more than a small resemblance to Cole Porter's "Be a Clown", which had appeared a few years earlier in MGM's ''The Pirate''. (Perhaps producer Arthur Freed just really liked that song, since the one original song written for ''TheBandWagon'', "That's Entertainment," vaguely resembles it without being a Jimmy Hart Version.)

* The music that they're trying to pass off as ''not''-'{{Shaft}}'" from the ''TankGirl'' movie.
* The theme from ''TheNatural'' is similar to AaronCopland's "Fanfare for the Common Man".
* The music in ''StarWarsTheCloneWars'' sounds kind of like this when compared to the music from the films.
* Brad Bird originally wanted JohnBarry to score ''TheIncredibles'', and used Barry's theme from ''OnHerMajestysSecretService'' in the first trailer. When Michael Giacchino was hired after Barry turned out to be unavailable, the opening fanfare for the theme he wrote closely resembles the ''OnHerMajestysSecretService'' theme.
* The rape/seduction scene in Akira Kurosawa's ''{{Rashomon}}'' is set to music that sounds suspiciously like Ravel's ''Bolero''. The composer claimed he wanted to create something that sounded more original (and more appropriately Japanese) but Kurosawa kept pushing him back towards ''Bolero''.
* The "Stairway to Heaven" scene from ''WaynesWorld'' uses the Jimmy Hart Version in the home video version. In the original theatrical release, they used the actual "Stairway" intro.
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hNItU7wiCw end theme]] of ''The Lawnmower Man'' is only a couple notes off from being the ''{{Terminator}}'' theme.

In fact, [[{{Smallville}} almost]] every adaptation of Superman after 1978 has used a Jimmy Hart version of the Williams theme: see under TheJimmyHartVersion/LiveActionTV and TheJimmyHartVersion/WesternAnimation.

* Baz Luhrmann's ''WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet'' has "O Verona", which is the Jimmy Hart version of "O Fortuna" from ''Carmina Burana''.
* The cultists performing a human sacrifice in ''YoungSherlockHolmes'' (not to be confused with the ''other'' [[Film/SherlockHolmes Sherlock Holmes movie]] with cultists performing a human sacrifice) chant a song which also rips off "O Fortuna".
* In the movie adaptation of ''GhostWorld'', the character Doug blares some heavy metal from his car stereo - it sounds a lot like an instrumental knockoff of Music/{{Metallica}}'s "Master Of Puppets".
* Leonard Rosenman's theme for ''{{RoboCop}} 2'' is a Jimmy Hart version of Basil Poleduris's theme from the original ''{{RoboCop}}''.
* In DavidLynch's film of ''{{Dune}}'', the scenes set on Caladan are scored with ambient string music that sounds a lot like the first movement of Dmitri Shostakovich's 11th Symphony, although the resemblance may not necessarily be intentional.
* ''{{Spaceballs}}'' more or less did this with the ''{{Star Wars}}'' theme.
* The original teaser trailer for ''{{UHF}}'', meant to parody the ''IndianaJones'' franchise, used an intentionally-obvious knockoff of the theme.
* Averted ''hard'' in ''TheRoom'', in which Tommy Wiseau shelled out the money for the rights to ''HappyBirthdayToYou''.
* The famous ''{{Jaws}}'' theme is actually very similar to the beginning of the fourth movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony. The two sound completely different after the first few notes, however.
* The original version of French Canadian film Elvis Gratton used many songs by Elvis Presley. It has been replaced by instrumental Jimmy Hart versions.
* John Travolto... da un Insolito Destino is parody/exploitation disco movie set (and filmed) during the {{Saturday Night Fever}} era about a JohnTravolta lookalike. Most of the score sounds like some other disco hits of the time. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfxHj9nLFvA Halfway through this clip]], you can hear that "It sounds like {{Staying Alive}} from TheBeeGees but it's not" music.
* ''MuppetTreasureIsland'''s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRgzQvIKynM "Treasure Island"]] piece seem to have inspired some of the music in ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': the middle segment of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP-BeFi58tQ The Black Pearl]] (skip to 52:00) and, less clearly, the violin playing at the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFBBKfw59kA He's a Pirate]].
** Speaking of Hans Zimmer, the soundtrack from ''TheRock'' is very similar to the score from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. (For those not in the know, Zimmer worked on both).
* The opening credits music for ''WarGames'' is a slightly tweaked version of the overture to Georges Bizet's opera ''Carmen''.
* In the scene in ''BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure'' when the two play Poker against Billy the Kid, the music is a very unsubtle rip-off of Il Trio from ''TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. Similarly, the song "In Time" from the movie's soundtrack sounds ''very'' similar to "With or Without You" by U2.
* The [[TestosteronePoisoning opening song]] to ''{{Orgazmo}}'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiXaT_1I-vw Now You're A Man]], has elements of "You Give Love A Bad Name" by BonJovi, RonnieJamesDio songs and "Eye of The Tiger",
* The bridge section in JohnWilliams' theme for ''JurassicPark'' resembles a major-key transposition of Fugue no. 2 from Book 1 of [[JohannSebastianBach Bach]]'s ''The Well-Tempered Clavier''.
** A similar motif can be heard in "The Key to the Gates of Heaven" from AndrewLloydWebber's musical ''Whistle Down the Wind'': "Open up the gates, open up the gates, we've got to find the key...."
** ''SesameStreet'' uses the unmodified tune of Fugue no. 2 for the "Monsterpiece Theatre" theme: "ABCDE, EFGHI, HIJKLMN, O-oP...."
* The fight theme from the unreleased ''Film/TheFantasticFour'' by Eric and David Wurst is basically John William's "Here They Come" from Star Wars. While the Theme song is more or less shades of "the Main Theme" from Jurassic Park.
* Somewhat averted in the DVD release of ''Where The Buffalo Roam'', as the new songs don't sound anything like the ones used in the original movie. Still pretty lame, though.
* The trailer for the film ''Film/TheMask'' uses a Jimmy Hart version of the Danny Elfman composition "Breakfast Machine" from ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure''.
* A home-video trailer for the second ''Film/TheMightyDucks'' film uses a painfully obvious Jimmy Hart version of the theme from ''BackToTheFuture.''
* The theme from Kinji Fukasaku's ''Blackmail Is My Life'', which appears throughout the film, is a wordless soundalike of "Over Under Sideways Down" by the Yardbirds.
* The music in the second [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxE8N2TldZ0 Bibi Blocksberg movie]] sounds suspiciously similar to Hedwig's Theme from the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films.
* "Thank You Very Much" from ''[[AChristmasCarol Scrooge]]'' sounds similar to "A Bushel and a Peck" from ''GuysAndDolls''.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbv2nPqS8W0&feature=player_detailpage#t=57s "It's Our Fight"]] from ''Film/{{Transformers}}: Dark Of The Moon'' sounds a lot like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpR4p41F8G4&feature=player_detailpage#t=51 "Mind Heist" from the ''Inception'' trailer]]. Zack Hemsey, the composer of "Mind Heist", even called attention to it on his [[http://zackhemsey.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-our-fight-bysteve-jablonsky.html blog.]]

* Also, "Across the Stars", the love theme from ''AttackOfTheClones'', is a ShoutOut by John Williams to Nino Rota's theme from the 1968 film of ''RomeoAndJuliet''. Even the title is an IncrediblyLamePun on "StarCrossedLovers".
* Arguably, the Imperial March (Darth Vader's theme) from ''TheEmpireStrikesBack'' is TheJimmyHartVersion of the third movement of Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35...the part known as Chopin's Funeral March.
* John Williams does this to his own works as well. Anakin's theme in ''ThePhantomMenace'' is TheJimmyHartVersion of Darth Vader's theme. "Augie's Great Municipal Band" music in the same movie is TheJimmyHartVersion of "The Emperor" music in ''ReturnOfTheJedi''. Part of the "A New Hope" music in ''RevengeOfTheSith'' is TheJimmyHartVersion of "Hedwig's Theme" from the ''Film/HarryPotter'' series.
* TheJimmyHartVersion of {{Queen}}'s "Who Wants To Live Forever?" shows up in the movie ''{{Highlander}} II: The Quickening''. Queen wrote a hit album of songs for the first one, but they couldn't be bothered to record anything for the sequel. [[{{Sequelitis}} Good for them, too]].
* The short film ''George Lucas in Love'' (a [[SatireParodyPastiche pastiche]] of ''ShakespeareInLove'') has TheJimmyHartVersion of the ''StarWars'' theme for the end credits music.
* "Make 'Em Laugh" from ''Film/SinginInTheRain'' is one of the movie's few original songs not from a previous MGM musical. Well, maybe original InNameOnly, since it bears more than a small resemblance to Cole Porter's "Be a Clown", which had appeared a few years earlier in MGM's ''The Pirate''. (Perhaps producer Arthur Freed just really liked that song, since the one original song written for ''TheBandWagon'', "That's Entertainment," vaguely resembles it without being a Jimmy Hart Version.)
** Arthur Freed insisted that he was under such pressure to finish the film that he didn't even realize that "Make 'Em Laugh" was an unconscious copy of "Be a Clown" - a song that he had heard but forgotten he knew - until someone pointed out the similarity after the film was released. Apparently Porter believed him, because he didn't sue.
* ''GoneWithTheWind'' uses TheJimmyHartVersion of Offenbach's "Galop Infernal" (or "Can-Can") in a restaurant Scarlett and Rhett visit when dating - for some reason, since it's a public domain song (and probably was even back when it was filmed).
* The "Parlay" music from the third ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' sounded ''very much'' like Ennio Morricone's [[{{Once Upon A Time In The West}} Harmonica]] music. In fact, it ''was'' intentionally used to [[WordOfGod "give an air of the end of an era.]]
* ''AngelsRevenge'', a ''CharliesAngels'' knockoff featured on {{MST3K}}, features a triumphant melody that's "Vaguely [[AlsoSprachZarathustra Strauss]], but noooooooot!"
** And later on, the background music sounds ''suspiciously'' like the ''Charlie's Angels'' theme...
* ''Film/StarshipTroopers 2: Hero of the Federation'' was apparently low-budget enough to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVHf-8MUDDg&feature=related Jimmy Hart]] ''{{Backdraft}}'''s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Xk38J0cYo Fighting Seventeenth]]...
* WoodyAllen's 1969 comedy ''Take the Money and Run'' has an escape scene accompanied by a knockoff of Quincy Jones' "Soul Bossa Nova".
** Of course, those who only know Jones' piece from its later use in the ''AustinPowers'' films and are unaware of its dating to the early '60s may, on seeing Allen's movie for the first time, come to the erroneous conclusion that the Jimmy Hart Version ''is'' the original.
* The JamesBond theme is actually a Jimmy Hart Version of an unused song composer Monty Norman wrote for a [[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5041409 musical]].
* The ''{{Ghostbusters}}'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvkKX035484 theme]] was the Jimmy Hart Version of "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6uEMOeDZsA I Want A New Drug]]" by HueyLewisAndTheNews. Huey Lewis actually filed a lawsuit against Ray Parker, Jr. because of this.
** The same riff was first used in "Pop Musik" by the band M.
** Another ''Ghostbusters'' example would be the main theme for ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'', which in was was based on Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King."
* Alex North's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPaO8AF8qo4 original score]] for ''TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' opened with a Jimmy Hart Version of "AlsoSprachZarathustra", which may have been part of the reason why Stanley Kubrick ended up scoring the film with the temp tracks he picked rather than use any of North's music [[{{Jerkass}} (but never bothered to tell North)]].
* The music that they're trying to pass off as ''not''-'{{Shaft}}'" from the ''TankGirl'' movie.
* The theme from ''TheNatural'' is similar to AaronCopland's "Fanfare for the Common Man".
* The music in ''StarWarsTheCloneWars'' sounds kind of like this when compared to the music from the films.
* Brad Bird originally wanted JohnBarry to score ''TheIncredibles'', and used Barry's theme from ''OnHerMajestysSecretService'' in the first trailer. When Michael Giacchino was hired after Barry turned out to be unavailable, the opening fanfare for the theme he wrote closely resembles the ''OnHerMajestysSecretService'' theme.
* The rape/seduction scene in Akira Kurosawa's ''{{Rashomon}}'' is set to music that sounds suspiciously like Ravel's ''Bolero''. The composer claimed he wanted to create something that sounded more original (and more appropriately Japanese) but Kurosawa kept pushing him back towards ''Bolero''.
* The "Stairway to Heaven" scene from ''WaynesWorld'' uses the Jimmy Hart Version in the home video version. In the original theatrical release, they used the actual "Stairway" intro.
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hNItU7wiCw end theme]] of ''The Lawnmower Man'' is only a couple notes off from being the ''{{Terminator}}'' theme.
* JerryGoldsmith's theme for the ''{{Supergirl}}'' movie intentionally matches the style of JohnWilliams' ''Film/{{Superman}}'' theme. In fact, [[{{Smallville}} almost]] every adaptation of Superman after 1978 has used a Jimmy Hart version of the Williams theme: see under TheJimmyHartVersion/LiveActionTV and TheJimmyHartVersion/WesternAnimation. The same goes for parodies of course, e.g. as part of a cartoon episode.
* Baz Luhrmann's ''WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet'' has "O Verona", which is the Jimmy Hart version of "O Fortuna" from ''Carmina Burana''.
* The cultists performing a human sacrifice in ''YoungSherlockHolmes'' (not to be confused with the ''other'' [[Film/SherlockHolmes Sherlock Holmes movie]] with cultists performing a human sacrifice) chant a song which also rips off "O Fortuna".
* In the movie adaptation of ''GhostWorld'', the character Doug blares some heavy metal from his car stereo - it sounds a lot like an instrumental knockoff of Music/{{Metallica}}'s "Master Of Puppets".
* Leonard Rosenman's theme for ''{{RoboCop}} 2'' is a Jimmy Hart version of Basil Poleduris's theme from the original ''{{RoboCop}}''.
* In DavidLynch's film of ''{{Dune}}'', the scenes set on Caladan are scored with ambient string music that sounds a lot like the first movement of Dmitri Shostakovich's 11th Symphony, although the resemblance may not necessarily be intentional.
* ''{{Spaceballs}}'' more or less did this with the ''{{Star Wars}}'' theme.
* The original teaser trailer for ''{{UHF}}'', meant to parody the ''IndianaJones'' franchise, used an intentionally-obvious knockoff of the theme.
* Averted ''hard'' in ''TheRoom'', in which Tommy Wiseau shelled out the money for the rights to ''HappyBirthdayToYou''.
* The famous ''{{Jaws}}'' theme is actually very similar to the beginning of the fourth movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony. The two sound completely different after the first few notes, however.
* The original version of French Canadian film Elvis Gratton used many songs by Elvis Presley. It has been replaced by instrumental Jimmy Hart versions.
* John Travolto... da un Insolito Destino is parody/exploitation disco movie set (and filmed) during the {{Saturday Night Fever}} era about a JohnTravolta lookalike. Most of the score sounds like some other disco hits of the time. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfxHj9nLFvA Halfway through this clip]], you can hear that "It sounds like {{Staying Alive}} from TheBeeGees but it's not" music.
* ''MuppetTreasureIsland'''s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRgzQvIKynM "Treasure Island"]] piece seem to have inspired some of the music in ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': the middle segment of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP-BeFi58tQ The Black Pearl]] (skip to 52:00) and, less clearly, the violin playing at the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFBBKfw59kA He's a Pirate]].
** Speaking of Hans Zimmer, the soundtrack from ''TheRock'' is very similar to the score from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. (For those not in the know, Zimmer worked on both).
* The opening credits music for ''WarGames'' is a slightly tweaked version of the overture to Georges Bizet's opera ''Carmen''.
* In the scene in ''BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure'' when the two play Poker against Billy the Kid, the music is a very unsubtle rip-off of Il Trio from ''TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. Similarly, the song "In Time" from the movie's soundtrack sounds ''very'' similar to "With or Without You" by U2.
* The [[TestosteronePoisoning opening song]] to ''{{Orgazmo}}'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiXaT_1I-vw Now You're A Man]], has elements of "You Give Love A Bad Name" by BonJovi, RonnieJamesDio songs and "Eye of The Tiger",
* The bridge section in JohnWilliams' theme for ''JurassicPark'' resembles a major-key transposition of Fugue no. 2 from Book 1 of [[JohannSebastianBach Bach]]'s ''The Well-Tempered Clavier''.
** A similar motif can be heard in "The Key to the Gates of Heaven" from AndrewLloydWebber's musical ''Whistle Down the Wind'': "Open up the gates, open up the gates, we've got to find the key...."
** ''SesameStreet'' uses the unmodified tune of Fugue no. 2 for the "Monsterpiece Theatre" theme: "ABCDE, EFGHI, HIJKLMN, O-oP...."
* The fight theme from the unreleased ''Film/TheFantasticFour'' by Eric and David Wurst is basically John William's "Here They Come" from Star Wars. While the Theme song is more or less shades of "the Main Theme" from Jurassic Park.
* Somewhat averted in the DVD release of ''Where The Buffalo Roam'', as the new songs don't sound anything like the ones used in the original movie. Still pretty lame, though.
* The trailer for the film ''Film/TheMask'' uses a Jimmy Hart version of the Danny Elfman composition "Breakfast Machine" from ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure''.
* A home-video trailer for the second ''Film/TheMightyDucks'' film uses a painfully obvious Jimmy Hart version of the theme from ''BackToTheFuture.''
* The theme from Kinji Fukasaku's ''Blackmail Is My Life'', which appears throughout the film, is a wordless soundalike of "Over Under Sideways Down" by the Yardbirds.
* The music in the second [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxE8N2TldZ0 Bibi Blocksberg movie]] sounds suspiciously similar to Hedwig's Theme from the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films.
* "Thank You Very Much" from ''[[AChristmasCarol Scrooge]]'' sounds similar to "A Bushel and a Peck" from ''GuysAndDolls''.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbv2nPqS8W0&feature=player_detailpage#t=57s "It's Our Fight"]] from ''Film/{{Transformers}}: Dark Of The Moon'' sounds a lot like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpR4p41F8G4&feature=player_detailpage#t=51 "Mind Heist" from the ''Inception'' trailer]]. Zack Hemsey, the composer of "Mind Heist", even called attention to it on his [[http://zackhemsey.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-our-fight-bysteve-jablonsky.html blog.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHqLcEtt368 This]] trailer for the 2011 ''[[Film/TheMuppets Muppets]]'' movie -- which parodies a ''TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo'' trailer -- {{lampshades}} this, with intertitles that read:
-->We couldn't / get the rights / to the real / song / so we had / some dude / write / this one / but we / had to / put him / in the / movie. / Here he is. / ''(shot of crowd scene with one person in the background circled)'' Totally/ WorthIt
* In the first Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks movie, [[http://youtu.be/zuJOoXE1Cn8 Dave's demo song]] is a deliberately {{Narm}}y JHV of DeathCabForCutie's [[http://youtu.be/rePcHxFJIuU?t=29s "I Will Follow You Into the Dark"]].
* The ''MortalKombat'' theme sounds suspiciously like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2VKbm2hp0o 2 Unlimited's "Twilight Zone"]].
