That Sounds Familiar

Welcome to a(nother) new section of this blog, That Sounds Familiar, in which I give you two pieces of music that sound awfully familiar. (And yes, I'm going to retroactively apply this tag to the Mass Effect/Babylon 5 post and the Rains of Castamere/For A Few Dollars More post.)

Anyway, there's this...

And then this...

The Iron Maiden song was written by Adrian Smith, who borrowed the opening riff, with permission, from a good friend of his in White Spirit. That friend was... Janick Gers, who replaced Smith when he left Maiden.

Small world.

A lion still has claws

Am I the only one hearing this?

Not nearly as much a ripoff as other things. But I think the one inspired the other.

Hmmm

So the internet has clued me in to the fact that Sovereign's theme from Mass Effect is pretty much the theme from Dune...

...but watching a certain something else has clued me in to this one.  Am I the only one hearing this?
