The "Sanford and Son" theme song?

I listened to the first half of the game song but I didn't notice any striking similarities.

In a few parts, you can hear "Do The Hustle" (Futurama clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWGII3GWRG0) and the Electric Slide song. Who else but Kenji?

Wait, what? Futurama started in late 1999, much later than when DBZ and the DBZ movies ended. Unless this is from a recent video game, this isn't a ripoff at all.

Um, that song's NOT from Futurama. It was from way back in the 70s (I believe). Dragon Ball came from the 80s.

They do sound incredibly similar. I played a music video with "The Hustle" in it with the sound turned off, and put on "Capsule Corporation" over it to see if the people in the music video danced to the same beat. Sure enough, they danced almost completely in synch with the music. Here's that music video if want to hear and see for yourself:

Going kinda out of a limb here but do you think they match. I think the timing is off but they do sound similar.

It was in Red & Stimpy (which ran through the early 90's-mid 90's).

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I think it is far fetched. I mean, it's not like it uses any special notes. Plus, most of the song has no relation to each other.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

I guess this is rather an "inspired" case than a rip-off, but I hear some similarities in these.

Kai OST2 - At The Battle's End
Libera - Far Away

Especially, these parts sound similar.

Kai OST2 - At The Battle's End (1:26)
Libera - Far Away (1:42)


He could be inspired by Far Away considering that it was the theme song of Hyouheki, a popular TV drama broadcast on NHK in 2006. But again, I don't think this is a rip-off.

I might be late to the party on this one, but I'm just now discovering the Super Butouden 2 score. To my astonishment, Son Gohan's theme sounds just like Piano Suite Waking Up from Dragon Ball Kai. Maybe I'm just nuts, though...

...actually, that wouldn't be plagiarism as it is. Ack.

Isn't Warriors Room related to Daft Punk music? It sounds very much alike.

It's been pointed out that it sounds like Daft Punk, but I don't think a specific song from them has ever been named. That song does sound quite a bit like "Warrior's Room", so I wouldn't be surprised if Yamamoto used "Better, Faster, Stronger" as at least inspiration for the song.

I started listening to the Super Butouden soundtrack after listening to the podcast and noticed similarities between Gero's theme and the theme of Enter the Dragon. Not really a rip-off but maybe he was inspired by Enter The Dragon just like Toriyama.

Enter The Dragon Theme
Super Butouden OST-Gero's Theme

Actually after listening to it again maybe I am just imagining it.
