"Beatles Come Together" in first TMNT game

*Icebot* · 10-12-2009, 06:09 PM

Has anyone ever noticed in the first TMNT NES game, on the 5th stage, (after you beat the giant mouser, on the stage where it's really dark), the music sounds similar to the song "Come Together" by the Beatles? Not the underground music, but the music when you see all those barn houses in the dark.

Now that you mention it, I think that thought has occurred me while playing through it. And trust me, as many times as you hear that loop, it really does start to play strange tricks on the mind!

Lol yeah, and I always thought the intro music had a Metallica riff in it.

Holy s*** I never caught it before (and as a huge Beatles fan, I can't believe it)... but now I can't UNhear it!

I always thought that was the best song in the game.

Woah that's crazy! Never noticed it before either.

nice find!

Really nice catch! I've heard the song thousands of times, and I'm a Beatles fan, but never noticed it. The similarity is definitely there. Maybe if the music was done with real instruments instead of the NES sound system it would be more obvious.

And the title music is a total rip off of Stone Cold Crazy.

If they ever make a true TMNT game and use this music again, I'm markin' out.

Actually, the intro music is almost exactly like Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy."

Wow, that is pretty close! You learn something new every day!

Also, the Mario Paint remix?
