hi, do any of you know of any songs that has their melodies taken from another song?

like, solar stone - solar coaster is from the beatles - while my guitar weeps

please , no obvious ones (same track name, remixes, remakes, etc)

my housemates was watching this film called 'withnail and I' and i kinda recognized the closing theme as the credits scrolled on the screen and stuff, because it was that 'while my guitar weeps' track

anyone else know any?

LOL you obviously can't read.. the thread starter said that already; read the opening post more carefully next time.

But yes, there are lots of threads about tunes based on/using elements from some other tracks. I might dig some later on but now i feel too tired.

What are you talking about? There nothing in 'while my guitar gently weeps' that sounds even remotely similar to solarcoaster.

Yeah, that's what i doubted but couldn't be sure because i haven't heard 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. I have seen the movie only once years ago so i can't say much more about it either.. but do remember the part which later on hit me like a lightning "hey, this is where Solarcoaster bases on!", so something they did borrow from that movie anyway.

oh wait thats the wrong track... its confusing when the song titles are scolling off the screen like that, there were like 7 songs that the credits mentioned and i simply picked the one on the bottom right thinking that they are in order of being played in the movie...

anyway, anyone have the right track name ?

hm i didnt know about how many threads there were made about stuff like this already, i simply searched for 'solar coaster' in the forums and thought nobody mentioned it... i didnt mean the obvious stuff like barbers adagio for strings , or the airbase remake of the rock theme, but completely obscure ones that we otherwise wouldnt be able to find out about, like on the closing credits of the movie i didnt see any mention of 'solar coaster' , so it isnt obvious and therefore belongs in here

but if im babbling more spam than sense, then please do correct me or something, im too lazy to search the forums throughly too

yeah sample is from True Romance not sure about the melody

push - strange world i think takes its inspiration from another tune but it slips my mind right now

Solarcoaster is taken from three places.

The vocals from the movie True Romannce
The melody from a Vangelis track from early 80ies.
The bells in the begining is from another Vangelis track, which I cant recall.

I have the names of the tracks written down at work.
