Billy Joel and Green Hill?

[SucculentChineseMeal64]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEea624OBzM To anyone, does this sound like Green Hill Zone? I feel like Sega might have based Green Hill on this very song. The Chorus defintely sounds like the main par of Green Hill. Except at the end of the chorus it has some down beats instead of up beats like Green Hill has. Anyone have some opinions or theories?

I dont hear it

No, Masato Nakamura based the GHZ theme from his own composition "Marry Me?" for the band he's got with his wife.

Ok, NOW I hear it

[JamminCannabis]

But it says the song was 1997, GHZ was 1991 so the song 'Marry Me?' was probably based off of GHZ.

[Denji]

Nope.

Considering how many songs in Sonic 1 and 2 have similarities to songs by Dreams Come True, that's actually a rather strong possibility.

Yeah... it's almost as if one of the members wrote the music... xD

I'm really starting to think it is a huge possibility though. Since Sega has a huge history of taking some songs and mixing them up to be their own. Except for Ice Cap

Yeah, I know this one, but this is an unreleased song or something.
Anyway, I absolutely love this song.

Back 2 Back is basically just Louie Louie.

Louie Louie just sounded so, just fast and tropical to me. Always listened to it and then i play Sonic Rush one time and hummed the tune to Back 2 back and realized. I was also humming Louie Louie. That's how i figured out this Billy Joel and Green Hill Zone thing.

Well if we're discussing Sonic music similarities in general, may i remind everyone where part of Sonic CD's boss theme came from (Or at least, the Japanese one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dpU5suqksY

Still trying to figure where that little rap bit at the loop came from.
