Super Smash Bros. Brawl ripped off music from Zazie!

[khobsessed01]

Judge for yourself. Listen up to :57 of Zazie's Tout Le Monde (Amazing song BTW!)



Now, listen to the first part of the SSBB menu music:



Sounds very similar. Pay close attention to the trumpet sound in both songs. Maybe the composers didn't think anyone would notice?

 

[Taylor]

aw shit in the course of history two songs in the world sound even the slightest bit similar better break out the copyright infringement laws.

 

[Orion]

Coincidence. I severely doubt any of the composer team - all of them being Japanese and based in that country - were aware Zazie existed, or what her works included. Besides, it's hardly much of a song to be intentionally copying off of. Inspiration is an unlikely possibility, but intentionally copying and hoping no one notices is unlikely enough to not be worth considering.

 

[Mirby]

Or maybe you're reading too much into it. Seriously, with music having been around for as long as it has, there's bound to be a bunch of similarities between songs. It's not a rip-off at all, it's just you trying to make a connection that, quite frankly, does not exist.

 

[Reagan Rayden]

There are only so many sounds. Some of them are bound to be similar.

Also when did zazie's song come out? Because the brawl theme was around in 2006 at the earliest, and was probably in the works even before that.

I still doubt there was any influence between the two

 

[Hypoxium]

wow would I rather play brawl or a zazie song I think we all know what the answer is

Tout le Monde came out in 1998.

Quick, take it down and prosecute later!
