2k3 music in SNL sketch?
https://youtu.be/0BEBO5BdAM8
So I was watching some SNL sketches on YouTube when I found this Avatar sketch. I may be wrong but isn't the music they play at one part (1:00-1:24) the music from the 2K3 Series? |
What the hell? I definitely recognize that cue. If it's not borrowed or whatever, it's a total rip-off.

The reason you'll see like a dozen different composers attached to the 4Kids series is because what I suspect happens is that, like The-Shredder said, a composer will build up a large library of tunes which companies can cheaply license out for use. A more contemporary example might be Teen Titans Go, which doesn't have a "main" composer afaik and just takes whatever they want from two or three libraries.
It likely was not an original cue for the show because then 4Kids would have a stake in its use, or rather, I suppose those rights rest with Nick now. A composer very rarely owns the music he writes for picture. But yeah, definitely the same cue. Cool! |
I heard it in, I think a PRogressive ad a while back too.
I'm amazed the soundtrack hasn't 'leaked' yet. |

I know I heard another 2k3 track on a commercial a couple of years back. Can't seem to remember.
Also, didn't someone find a lot of the 2k3 music and post it somewhere on the forums? I swear I remember seeing that on here before a little while back. |
You're probably thinking of something I did a while ago.
http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=39646 What happened was that some Russian DVD company got music-and-effects mixes for the first 22 episodes (probably for dubbing) and made a fake 5.1 track for those episodes, with the M&E in the two front channels. Not perfect but nevertheless really great for grabbing some nice music. |

Ive said it many times when I talk about praising 2k3 that music is the only place where it failed at.
This helps my point if its just cheaply licensed libraries that were used. |
I liked a lot of the background music in the 2k3 series, I'm not sure what you mean.

I can't even really hear it with the stupid skit going on. And then I got all distracted by this Harry Potter skit with Lindsay Lohan. Hilarious...

The most overused music was that "fear" music, they played it in almost every episode in Season 4 onward. You know that sound where something mysterious happens or a villain appears. That's the only music cue I disliked due to how often it was used.
It goes like, "Da.....duuuuuuh....daaaa.....duuuuh." Something like that. |
What i mean is that none of the music is not necessarily bad but not memorable. I can't remember a specific theme from that show while I can from the OT, all movies sans the third, the Nick show etc.

You're right but I still had to look it up before remembering it. Also not all the music was generic in 2k3, but it's definitely noticeable, especially when the rest of the show is mostly top notch and the music could've been so much better and memorable.

That video isn't available in Canada it seems :howell:
There's lots of good music in the 2k3 series. The foot clan jingle was one of my favourites... I even liked April's theme, which kinda sounded more Avril Lavigne than anything else. |
For anyone who is still scratching their heads, this is the piece of music, about 17 minutes in.
|
Oh my god that really is the music! I didn't expect that even with the title. I thought it would just be similar.
|
Funny enough, I'm pretty sure I heard another 4kids theme in a Jackie Chan movie last week. It was either Mr. Nice Guy or First Strike (can't remember 'cause I watched them back to back) but it was reeeally similar. Surprised I never noticed it before as I've seen both multiple times. Shrug.
