SID originals that are actually covers

This kind of information is (usually, but not always) included with STIL, but anyways, does not seem to be common knowledge here and there.

Personally, i was a bit surprised to learn about:

Zoids - Synergy - Ancestors
International Karate - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
Turrican Title Theme - Transformers (1986) - Escape (and the end tune, too)
Lazy Jones - Star Dust - Electronic Ensemble - It Happened Then

What else is notable, from the top of your heads? =)

@ "Covering" without even knowing / "heavily inspired by" (consciously or not)
Sure there's alway the problem that J.S. Bach, Mozart or The Beatles might have used a sequence of notes before you come up with it though you never listened to their tune ;)
Or some musician has listened to a song on the radio, forgets about it and in the evening isn't aware where the melody in his mind comes from - where does inspiration end and theft start, indeed frquently a matter for the courts...

Chord riff @ 00:26 is somewhat famous in the SID world. :D

Anyway this is offtopic here. So better start a new thread if you want to continue discussing it.

Indeed,
but Stinsen, if you keep listening to Lionel Richie all night long,
you'll never get rid of your reputation as
Master of Schmaltz ;)

Haha, I think I'm stuck with the Schmaltz forever, Lionel Richie or not... :D

A couple covers by A Life in Hell that people may not know about:

https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/J/Julian_Jaymz/Sy..
"Syntax 2011 Invite" covers the Final Boss theme from Sonic 3
https://youtu.be/bc-lK-psNy4

https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/J/Julian_Jaymz/Fl..
"Fleshlite (tune 2)" covers "Der Zoo" from the Game Boy game Ottifanten, composed by Stello Doussis.
https://youtu.be/aBGvJ4IsrMk

I'll have to look into his HVSC directory more to see if I can spot any more though.

Regarding Giana Sisters I am sure it's just a coincidence. That Tangerine Dream arp is a very simple rather typical Berlin School minor line - there are only 12 notes to choose from, after all ;)


Mmmmm sure, but Chris Hülsbeck has made some floaty arpy stuff and said Tangerine Dream are his heroes on Facebook (NOT talking about Giana or anything)... I'm not saying it's a bad thing, and obviously it's far from "a cover" but still, I think there could be something more to it than just total coincidence.


Considering that the Tangerine Dreams track came out 20 years AFTER the Giana Sisters I still think that it's pure coincidence :)
