** [[https://youtu.be/h23WFhv2Sms The Beginning of Something Really Excellent]]/[[https://youtu.be/11XHicUomB8 Gardener]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkdbN7xDkAM Sonic Electronic]].

* "[[https://youtu.be/tXQiDPgLH_c The White Tiger]]" by Skaven of the Future Crew, from said group's 1992 ''Unreal'' demo, resembles the [[https://youtu.be/P-3FySgabMA main theme]] of the Creator/{{Psygnosis}} UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} game ''Awesome'', mixed with the intro riff of "[[https://youtu.be/vaGenJ5GXxE Gallantry]]" from ''VideoGame/{{Raiden}}''.

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'': The five-note jingle used in the {{Eyecatch}} from Season 5 onwards sounds note-for-note like the classic Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} jingle.

* ''Super Sea Star Savior'' from Theatre/SpongebobSquarepants sounds like "Run and Tell That" from ''Theatre/{{Hairspray}}'' mixed with "Zero To Hero" from Film/{{Hercules}}.

* The intro music to [=CollegeHumor=]'s retrogaming series ''[[http://www.collegehumor.com/bleepbloop Bleep Bloop]]'' is Suspiciously Similar version of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' theme.

* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'': At the beginning of every ''The Season Towns'' episode is a song that's very similar to the Treasure Town theme from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]'', to the point that the music collaborator for that season changed it when they were informed of the similarity.

* Music/MitchBenn's songs on ''Radio/TheNowShow'' are generally to tunes that ''sound like'' the songs he's parodying, since the UK doesn't have a "fair use" exception for parodies. He also commented on the trope (specifically the accusations that "La Vida" was ripping off other songs) with "Now Coldplay Sound Like Everything Else", a song about how a song can sound "familiar" not because it's a rip-off, but just because it isn't doing anything interesting, to (of course) a Suspiciously Similar version of "La Vida". (In the intro he commented that he once had a song that many people accused of being a rip-off, but they all claimed he'd ripped it off from different things ... and none of them had picked the right one.)

* In the Creator/CartoonNetwork online game "Operation S.T.A.R.T.U.P." based on ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', the music in Numbuh One's level sounds similar to the Spin Doctors song "Two Princes".

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' [[https://youtu.be/1w1cSIZLSWs?t=64 originally]] had the Warthog playing a Tejano song Burnie Burns recorded in a Mexican restaurant. Given Creator/RoosterTeeth never discovered the title of the original, when it was time to release the show on DVD it got replaced with [[https://youtu.be/Od7F3ZLtTRc?t=50 an original composition]].

* The intro of Nyan Cat bears some resemblance with the organ intro of ''Light my Fire'' by The Doors. The actual melody part sounds a lot like the theme song of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs''.

* Theatre/TheSpongebobMusical
** "Super Sea Star Savior" bears a resemblance to Theatre/{{Hairspray}}'s "Run & Tell That"

* One of the remixes done in ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'' is "I Burn ([=PleaseDon'tSueUs=] Remix)", which mixes Yang Xiao Long's theme with an approximation of Music/{{Survivor}}'s [[Film/RockyIII "Eye of the Tiger"]].

* Fittingly for another musical premised on AdaptationalSympathy, ''Theatre/Twisted'' borrows a bit from ''Theater/Wicked'', and the part in "Happy Ending" where Ja'far sings about when he meets the genie is nearly identical to Elphaba's imagined conversation with the Wizard

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'': The five-note jingle used in the {{Eyecatch}} from Season 5 onwards sounds note-for-note like the classic Creator{{Nickelodeon}} jingle.
