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? =)

Quote: I don't think it even pretends to be original, but STIL information is missing for this remix of Crockett's Theme:
https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/S/Sequencer/Crckt..

Recognisable cover part doesn't start until 1:07 or so.


Valid, added. It surely means nobody played the tune that much to notice it ;)

Probably coincidental but parts of GRG's "Lazy Bytes" (which is one of my X'2018 faves) remind me of the verses in this song:

it's really a cover of it?


I wouldn't say it's a cover at all. Not even remix. It's a cypher, at best ;-)

I think I saw this in an earlier thread on the subject: Ed Starink vs Jeroen Tel : Syndrome

Technically off-topic, but somewhat related.

Noticed a certain resemblance of parts of "Rambo: First Blood Part II"'s original main theme by Jerry Goldsmith (and its SID cover) with
the main theme of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" by Ennio Morricone (and, e.g., this SID cover).

Then got confirmation. (And eryngi noticed the same earlier while trying out Rambo on the flute.)

Now, how far this goes into plagiarism territory (and whether this was common knowledge all along)... you be the judge. =)
