I'm just curious if anyone else ever done this; listening to a piece of music from a movie or show that you think would fit a character from DBZ.

I have a couple, one of them is posted below; this piece of music reminds me of Garlic Jr. a lot. A cookie to whoever can indentify the piece. I apologize for the not so good quality.

This isn't so much because I personally think the music is fitting, but I do happen to think of Piccolo when I hear the theme music from Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Why? Because, I recall there being a Bruce Faulconer song that reminded me of the Terminator 2 song, and it happened to play for at least one Piccolo scene. :p

I don't know the name of the song though, or where in the dub that it was played. It's been a few years since I've seen the dub, so it's hard to remember.

No character in particular...this one makes me think of the Saiya-jin.

Hey SaiyaMel, how do I listen to it?

Also, here's another one; this one reminds me of Cell. It is by the same composer as the piece I posted earlier.

Quality isn't very good unfortunately.

Try it now - i uploaded it to another host and changed the link. really cool song.

That one could just as easily be Freeza's theme.

Ah, very cool! I like it a lot.

And as for Freeza's theme, I'm way ahead of you. It kind of awkardly cuts off at the end, but you get the idea.

This piece was composed by the great John Williams.

Friezafan120...I'm not too entirely sure, but is that the Penguin's theme from Batman Returns you identified Garlic Jr. with?

Ah! Excellent, you are indeed correct sir! It's one of my favorite pieces from Danny Elfman.

I picked because I see some major similarities between the characters; they're are both diminutive, crafty, and are scarred by their parents.

Can you pick out the Cell theme too? It is also by Danny Elfman.

Can't say I'm too familiar with that piece...I want to say it's from Edward Scissorhands, but picking out a Danny Elfman piece from a pile of Danny Elfman themes is no easy task...unless, of course, it's the Simpson's Theme.

Anyway, I don't know why, but I think Cell's theme should have more of a "cockiness" to it. Can't seem to think of anything right now...

Good guess, but it is actually a segment of one his Doc Ock pieces from Spider-Man 2. The title of the piece is "Angry Arms".

Freeza finding everyone on Namek and Cell stalking townsfolk remind me of the Twilight Zone and Halloween themes, respectively. As far as non-film songs go:

Buu - Luna-Tic (Juno Reactor)
Gohan - White and Nerdy (Weird Al)
Roshi - I Like Big Tits (Joe Walsh)
Vegeta - Asshole (Denis Leary)
Females - Bitch (Meredith Brooks)
Goku - Never There (Cake)
Piccolo - U Can't Touch This (MC Hammer)
16 - Electronik (Markus)
Enma - Spirit In The Sky (Norman Greenbaum)

P.S. Hey Mel, mind if I ask where that's from?

Y'know I associated the old "Lost in Space" show's music with the Japanese Dragonball Z's music I know it sounds weird but the music sounds incredibly similar to me.

Take this comparison for example

Lost in Space:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_eiH7kQajo
Dragonball Z:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHSVqWe_7X0

Edit: When I say Lost in Space I do mean the old black and white version airing on Me TV currently.

Let's see...

Goku - "Through the Fire" by Day of Fire.

Uuuuh... that's all I can think of right now.

Everytime I think of Puar, it reminds me of this crazy song.

You silly, silly shipper. <3

Guess I should post a song too... Hmm...

The Overture to Jesus Christ Superstar always reminds me of some of the more epic pieces from the show, honestly.

As for music to go with DBZ... all I know is that Finger Eleven, Evenescence, Linkin Park and the like are NOT a good fit with DBZ, despite what millions of AMVers say.

Agreed; I perfer orchestral pieces over anything else.
