The Android/Cell Saga was just starting when T2 came out (Trunks cutting Freeza was published the week it came out). It's a bit more plausible that Terminator 1 was a more readily available inspiration.


** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZSnlZoTR-Y "A New Foe Rears His Head"]] so blatantly rips off the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDcPv6olllQ opening theme]] of ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'' that it almost feels like a parody: it was used for ''Dragon Ball Kai''[='=]s version of the Android Saga, which itself is a send-up of ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' 's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCgajn0R0YE Decretum]] can easily be rendered as a DarkReprise of ''Greensleeves''. With this in mind, a version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x17Vn6EzkWE combining the two]] is made, requiring some knowledge about both melody lines in order to distinguish the two.

* "The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye)" from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' sounds like "True Colors" by Music/CyndiLauper.
** "All We Wanna Do" from the Pokemon Karaokemon segments sounds like a mix of (coincidentally) "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow and "Shiny Happy People" by REM.

* Another ''WesternAnimation/{{Simpsons}}'' soundalike: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4GvG3jUsLE "Lucky Dirty Boy"]], ''Manga/{{Isuca}}'''s theme for harem shenanigans.
* ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService'': Another Joe Hisaishi number -- "Starting the Job" (the track that plays when Kiki begins her first delivery run in the original Japanese version) is basically a ''pizzicato'' rendition of [[Music/AntonioVivaldi Vivaldi's]] "Spring" in a slightly different key (F- rather than E-Major).
