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? =)

The samples were flipped from this one though https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/B/Blues_Muz/Galle..

STILL:

TITLE: Acidjazzed Evening [from the Amiga MOD module]
ARTIST: Janne Suni (Tempest)
COMMENT: American producer and hip hop artist Timbaland (Timothy Z. Mosley) allegedly plagiarized parts of GRG's version of 'Acidjazzed Evening' for use in the song "Do It" on the 2006 album Loose by Nelly Furtado. This eventually led to a large controversy where lawyers for both GRG and Janne Suni became involved.

---
The result: Tempest was allegedly compensated off-court (quote from wikipedia: "The copyright dispute was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.[2]"). GRG 's claim failed and he got nothing. C64.sk had 3 minutes of fame and backlink from wikipedia. And I had a bitter taste in mu mouth ever since... naaaaah, it's an old story. I don't care anymore... ... or do I?

Ok, now stick the topic title (SID takes music, not music takes SID ;))

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.

allegedly? wtf? that needs to be fixed. It was proven that he stole from GRG's SID. there's nothing "alleged" about it.

A whole other question that comes up with this is, if now someone made a C64 tune cover and the original is actually already a cover, but unbeknownst to the person who releases a C64 cover as music on the internet, or even perform it live without crediting the original composer and thus even "forgetting" to inform certain music rights management societies like GEMA or TEOSTO.
Let's just hope it will stay a well kept secret.

In dumb layman terms (and let's hope I'm not confusing things too much), GRG's case was thrown out of US court because his music wasn't registered for copyright. Anyway this is offtopic here. So better start a new thread if you want to continue discussing it.
