Damn, no reason to name-call. It's not like he said "OMG, Prince copied Sonic the Hedgehog!" I don't think that's what he meant. It sounded weird to me too, but I didn't take it so freakin' personally.

Hiii!

Okay, I'm about to reveal my uber-nerd side momentarily, but I remember reading an interview with one of Sega's music composers ages ago where he cited Prince as an influence. So it's no coincidence that the music in the old Sonic games sounds Princey.

Actually, there's a zone in Sonic 2 where the opening part of the stage's music is lifted directly from a part of Glam Slam. I think it's the world with all the tubes and water, and it's so similar it's unlikely to be a coincidence.

Yeah, it's funny this thread popped up, because I have a friend who liked Sonic back in the day and has to point out the similarity whenever I listen to Prince. He's all "IS THIS STRANGE RELATIONSHIP OR THE SPRING HILL ZONE THEME SONG?! LAWL!"

One of these days I'm going to kick him out the window, I swear.

hah, this is funny!


I actually always thought how funky sonic music was (compared to Mario back in the day).....the snare newjack drums pounding away on the theme song.....youch, that treble hurt!


I think Sonic music sounds like "do the bart man" more then Prince!

I found the song I was thinking of!

http://www.sonicverseteam.../music/s2/

Listen to Glam Slam, the part I'm thinking of is between 15:10-15:25 on the single track LoveSexy cd, and then check out one of the Chemical Plant Zone midis and see if it doesn't sound familiar.
