Using the style, instrumentation, and sound of one piece of music on a different melody, notably a show's theme tune, for mood effect. Also handy if you wish to parody a famous piece of music, but can't afford to license the melody. Parodying a public-domain song is, of course, problem-free. When it's done to the same song several times within the same work, it's a Theme-and-Variations Soundtrack. If the song in question is written from scratch, it's Suspiciously Similar Song. Not to be confused with the group that sang Sonic Boom. Super-Trope to Ennio Morricone Pastiche. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the fourth and fifth Howling Stone songs are counter-melodies to the title themes from A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker, respectively, while the last one combines the melody of the Light Spirit theme with the harmony of the Hyrule Field theme. | |

Bill Nye the Science Guy: Every episode ended with a parody of an existing song where the new lyrics related to the episode's topic (for example, "Born to be Wild" becomes "Bones in my Body" for the episode on the skeletal system). It had several pastiches of popular songs during the show, including Wipeout, La Bamba, 2 Unlimited's No Limit and Tribal Dance, and the James Bond theme (some of these, of course, are public domain). |

The Cosby Show changed its theme song's stylistic every year. It was a regular pop song the first year. Then it was a Caribbean tune and an orchestrated tune, and a salsa number, before being a parody of "Shotgun" for its last season. | |

Ori and the Will of the Wisps: The "Restoring The Light, Facing The Dark" motif from Ori and the Blind Forest is pastiched many times, notably with the Kwolok's Hollow theme for the boss fights with the Hornbug and later Kwolok himself, the Wellspring and Baur's Reach themes for their respective Escape Sequences, and the Mouldwood Depths theme for the battle with Mora the Spider. Ku's leitmotif most prominently gets this treatment in Inkwater Marsh, where it uses the aesthetic of the first game's Sunken Glades theme. The Spirit Cavern's theme, itself a variation of Ori's theme, is also interpolated at one point. "Amelioration" uses Ku's theme as a main melody and the Wisps' theme as a counter-melody over the harmony of the Wellspring theme. "Ash and Bone" combines Ku's, Shriek's, and Ori's leitmotifs in counterpoint with the instrumentation of the aforementioned "The Sacrifice" from the first game. The Final Boss theme is an arrangement of Shriek's leitmotif in the style of "Fleeing Kuro", as well as also incorporating "Restoring The Light" in the battle's later phases. |

Sonic The Hedgehog: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles had a different music composer than the first two games, hence the absence of the original title theme, but the main boss theme is a pastiche of both the miniboss theme(the second part) and the Sonic 1 boss theme(the first part, somewhat more resembles the Final Boss version). Additionally, thanks to the involvement of Michael Jackson and his producers with the soundtrack, Carnival Night Zone, Launch Base Zone, and the non-locked-on ending theme are pastiches of MJ's "Jam"(with the melody of Julius Fucik's "Entry of the Gladiators"), "Speed Demon"(with hints of "Bad"), and "Stranger in Moscow", respectively, while Ice Cap Zone is based on the then-unreleased "Hard Times" by The Jetzons, Brad Buxer's former band. Sonic Adventure 2's various level themes often echo "Live and Learn," the game's theme song. In Sonic Unleashed, the first few seconds of the opening cutscene music sound remarkably like something from Star Wars. |

The Simpsons has often done this with its main theme during the closing credits of an episode. For instance, in a police-themed episode the song was turned into an homage to the Hill Street Blues theme music, and in the Australia-themed episode the song was accompanied by a didgeridoo. There was even one episode where the credits theme was done a capella, complete with video. |

A lot of tunes from the Ys games, especially IV and VI, are based on a recurring bassline/chord progression, especially those of Adol's Theme and Selceta Forest. Lesser pastiches include "Armored Bane"("Battle Ground" + "Battle 58") the intro of Ernst(remixed from Final Battle, whilst the main melody is a Suspiciously Similar Song to "Moon Over the Castle" from Gran Turismo), Overwater Drive (heavily based on Beat of the Terror), Mountain Zone (pastiche of both Palace of Solomon and Forest of Selceta) Lava Zone(resembles Termination, the Final Boss music from Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished – The Final Chapter), Defend and Escape (includes the Ark/Napishtim's theme, Celceta Forest, and even part of Niena from Ys V), The Depth Napishtim(in addition to using the Ark leitmotif, it also draws from Termination), and Spread Blue View(uses parts of Reconciled People, the Port Rimorge theme). In Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Chester's second Battle Theme Music is a composite of his leitmotif and "Chop!!", originally the midboss theme from the Sharp X68000 port of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, where "Theme of Chester" also originated. | |

Halo: Reach: "Unreconciled" is a combination of "Lone Wolf" and the original Halo theme. "Hymn for Reach" and "The Fall" sound similar to Halo 2/3's "Respite/Tribute" and CE/3's "Enough/No More Dead Heroes", respectively. "The Battle Begins" is a pastiche of the main theme and the rhythm of 2's "Ghosts of Reach". 2's "In Amber Clad" beat also returns, in "Sword Control" and "We Remember". The main theme itself sounds like a tweaked version of "Farthest Outpost" from Halo 3. A warped version of the classic Gregorian chant is also used several times. | |

The Fairly Oddparents also does it a lot. "Real and Scary" song from one of their Halloween specials has a riff [and a visual gag] that is reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". There are several of the aforementioned Mission: Impossible riffs. There's a riff on Popeye using beets rather than spinach. |

The music originally composed for the Sarlacc Pit battle in Return of the Jedi (Sail Barge Assault Alternate, released as a bonus track) is quite different from the music heard in the film, but the film music is kind of a pastiche of the original (the middle part and the ending are almost identical). | |

Wicked: A bit of the melody from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is used in the recurring "Unlimited" leitmotif, which is basically Elphaba's theme. On the length of the snippet of melody: it's just enough to avoid copyright problems—the first seven notes (somewhere, over the rainbow!). It uses the chords of "No One Mourns the Wicked" and its overture as a recurring theme, and intersperses it with "For Good", which itself incorporates the chord theme, in the finale ultimo. |

The Japanese version of Digimon Adventure reused a musical score from Sailor Moon, and strangely enough the music composer for both shows was none other than the late Takanori Arisawa. Compare the two - at 2:35 for the Sailor Moon version and click here for the Digimon version, and tell me that they don't sound almost exactly the same. | |

Many songs in the Silent Hill series, eg "Promise", "Not Tomorrow", "Killing Time", "Theme of Laura", "I Want Love", "Waiting for You", are pastiches of the first game's opening theme, and a few other themes have pastiches as well. Not necessarily recurring riffs. | |

Inspector Gadget is fond of it, turning its short theme song into jungle drums, French provincial folk music, rock and roll, and a few other styles. Other pastiches include the "clockwork" version (heard in "Cuckoo Clock Caper" and a couple other episodes), "Hail to the Chief", part of the song "New York, New York" mixed with the IG theme, and the "chase theme", which obviously pastiches the Knight Rider theme song. And the theme itself is a pastiche of Edward Grieg's "In the Halls of the Mountain King" and Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz". | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles had a different music composer than the first two games, hence the absence of the original title theme, but the main boss theme is a pastiche of both the miniboss theme(the second part) and the Sonic 1 boss theme(the first part, somewhat more resembles the Final Boss version). Additionally, thanks to the involvement of Michael Jackson and his producers with the soundtrack, Carnival Night Zone, Launch Base Zone, and the non-locked-on ending theme are pastiches of MJ's "Jam"(with the melody of Julius Fucik's "Entry of the Gladiators"), "Speed Demon"(with hints of "Bad"), and "Stranger in Moscow", respectively, while Ice Cap Zone is based on the then-unreleased "Hard Times" by The Jetzons, Brad Buxer's former band. | |

Lucky Star, during the race scene, had a suspiciously Initial D sounding song. One time in episode 2 there was a Gun Buster parody, with a knockoff of the opening song, "Active Heart", seriously, and in episode 17 there was a parody of Cat's Eye using a knockoff of the ending theme, but with Kagami as an extra. | |

Halo does this with many of its music pieces, using the same instrumentation, rhythm, sometimes chords, on different melodies: Halo 2: The Delta Halo leitmotif is a pastiche of the series' main theme, "Leonidas" is a pastiche of Halo: Combat Evolved's "On a Pale Horse". "Impend" is a pastiche of CE's "The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe" and "Brothers In Arms" "Peril" mixes together the rhythm of CE's "Perilous Journey" and the melodies of "The Last Spartan", "High Charity", and the Delta Halo theme. The first part of "Heretic, Hero" combines the melodies of the CE's "Truth and Reconciliation Suite" intro and "TGPatHOftU". In turn, the Delta Halo theme is used on top of the "Heretic" beat in the beginning of the 'Delta Halo Suit''. "High Charity: Pursuit of Truth" is a pastiche of the song "Leela" from the original Marathon and CE's "TGPatHofU", and it pays homage to Kraftwerk's The Man-Machine album as well, possibly sampling them (eg the beat and the characteristic "twang" sound effect). "Respite" (and the second half of Halo 3's "Tribute") is "High Charity" done in the style of the Arbiter's leitmotif. "Librarian's Gift" from the Halo 2: Anniversary soundtrack is a pastiche of CE's "Library Suite" using Halo 2's ambience tracks. Halo 3: "Farthest Outpost" is a pastiche of the Ark theme and Halo 2's "In Amber Clad" (which in turn is loosely based on Halo: Combat Evolved's "Under Cover of Night"). Halo 2 themes "The Last Spartan" are "Unyielding" combined into "Finish The Fight", with the intro also containing a pastiche of 2's "High Charity". CE themes "Under Cover of Night" and "Perchance to Dream" become "Dream Again". During the credits, "Farthest Outpost", "Under Cover", and the guitar riff of "In Amber Clad" are all mixed together. Halo: Reach: "Unreconciled" is a combination of "Lone Wolf" and the original Halo theme. "Hymn for Reach" and "The Fall" sound similar to Halo 2/3's "Respite/Tribute" and CE/3's "Enough/No More Dead Heroes", respectively. "The Battle Begins" is a pastiche of the main theme and the rhythm of 2's "Ghosts of Reach". 2's "In Amber Clad" beat also returns, in "Sword Control" and "We Remember". The main theme itself sounds like a tweaked version of "Farthest Outpost" from Halo 3. A warped version of the classic Gregorian chant is also used several times. |

Similarly to The Rutles, Utopia's album Deface the Music is comprised entirely of affectionate Beatles parodies. As with the Rutles' music, many of these songs are parodies of specific Beatles songs, and for people who have listened to the Beatles' music enough times, it's easy to pick out which song each of these parodies. | |

Super Mario Bros.: The soundtrack to Mario Is Missing! largely consists of the Recurring Riff from Super Mario World redone in various styles, including one song that's an obvious take on "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night.

Double Dragon Neon's soundtrack does this alot, especially with tunes from the original series: "Neon Jungle" is a stylistic pastiche of 80's Hi-NRG music, such as Bananarama, which the song's fake band, Mango Tango, may be a shoutout to. "Firebird" is reminiscent of '80s hair metal bands such as Judas Priest and Van Halen. Mecha Biker's theme is a Mega Man (Classic) style arrangement of the title theme. Said theme gets pastiched again for the credits, this time In the Style of "Weird Al" Yankovic with a touch of Queen. "Laboratory 1" is Double Dragon II's Mission 1 theme In the Style of Devo. "Tube Ride" is DD 1's Mission 4 music arranged Dick Dale surf rock style. Linda's theme(Mission 3-3) from the NES version of the first game gets three different arrangements. The first two are boss remixes used for Skullmageddon, with the Final Boss version using elements of the final boss music from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. The third, heard in the Haunted Forest, is a pastiche with the Halloween theme. |

One that almost happened on TV: Square One TV was originally going to be called "That's Mathematics", and Tom Lehrer wrote a theme song for it, to the tune of "That's Entertainment". But in the end, the name of the show was changed so the song wasn't used. Then, Lehrer brought the song back for a celebration of Andrew Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, but due to copyright, had to write his own tune to it (which keeps basically the same rhythm and style). | |

In The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy is running home at the beginning, the music is a much-accelerated orchestral version of the ''Robert Schumann piano piece "The Happy Farmer," a standard 'first classical piece' for young piano students. If Dorothy is taking piano, that may be one of her pieces—also, at the moment she is a rather UN-happy farmer; then, her first song in Oz, "The Wind Began to Twitch", is based on the same theme. | |

In Rogue Squadron, the battle music during the Rendezvous on Barkhesh and Raid on Sullust missions is a pastiche of the Battle of Hoth theme from The Empire Strikes Back, using the same instrumentation, bass line and rhythm, but a heavily altered melody, which also interpolates the Force Theme. Ironically, the game uses this same pastiche for its Battle of Hoth bonus mission. | |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks: Like the "Cafeteria Song" from the previous movie, the opening theme "Rainbow Rocks" begins with a drum intro similar to Queen's "We Will Rock You". Trixie's "Tricks Up My Sleeve" is sung in a style resembling early Britney Spears. The "Hey! Hey!" refrain in "Awesome as I Wanna Be" seems to be paying homage both to the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend". "Shake Your Tail!" borrows the phrase "ignite the light" from Katy Perry's "Firework". Similarly, "the light that ignites" appears in "Shine Like Rainbows", and Sunset's part of "Welcome to the Show" references "Part of Me". Most of the Dazzlings' and the Rainbooms' songs are pastiches of middle-of-the-road Girl Group songs, with the Dazzlings leaning more towards Trance and the Rainbooms favoring Power Pop. |

The Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh! reused a musical score from Cyber Team in Akihabara, and both series share the same composer, Shinkichi Mitsumune. And for comparisons sake The Cyberteam version and the Yu-Gi-Oh! version. | |

The Stage 1 BGM of City Connection uses the intro, rhythm, and bassline of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode, but the melody of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Piano Concerto No.1: Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso". The other stage themes likewise superimpose the Tchaikovsky tune on the harmonies of various classic rock songs, such as Deep Purple's "Highway Star", Paul Anka's "Diana", and The Surfaris' "Wipeout". | |

Doki Doki Literature Club! has this in the track Okay Everyone, which plays during the poem-reading segments. While the base version of the song uses the typical instruments in the "casual" soundtrack, it changes for each member depending on whose poem you're reading. Sayori's has a ukelele and other "happy" instruments, fitting with her theme of being the "fun" character. Natsuki's has a xylophone, recorder, and other "simple" instruments, fitting with her theme of being the "childish" character. Yuri's essentially has a small orchestra, fitting her theme of being the "sophisticated" character. Monika's has a piano solo. While, yes, it does fit with her occasional reminders that she is learning piano (you can hear occasional "beginner's errors" in this piece, matching up), it also serves as foreshadowing towards her intent on being your sole desire, without anyone else in the way—it's a "solo". |

Halo 2: The Delta Halo leitmotif is a pastiche of the series' main theme, "Leonidas" is a pastiche of Halo: Combat Evolved's "On a Pale Horse". "Impend" is a pastiche of CE's "The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe" and "Brothers In Arms" "Peril" mixes together the rhythm of CE's "Perilous Journey" and the melodies of "The Last Spartan", "High Charity", and the Delta Halo theme. The first part of "Heretic, Hero" combines the melodies of the CE's "Truth and Reconciliation Suite" intro and "TGPatHOftU". In turn, the Delta Halo theme is used on top of the "Heretic" beat in the beginning of the 'Delta Halo Suit''. "High Charity: Pursuit of Truth" is a pastiche of the song "Leela" from the original Marathon and CE's "TGPatHofU", and it pays homage to Kraftwerk's The Man-Machine album as well, possibly sampling them (eg the beat and the characteristic "twang" sound effect). "Respite" (and the second half of Halo 3's "Tribute") is "High Charity" done in the style of the Arbiter's leitmotif. "Librarian's Gift" from the Halo 2: Anniversary soundtrack is a pastiche of CE's "Library Suite" using Halo 2's ambience tracks. |

Halo 3: "Farthest Outpost" is a pastiche of the Ark theme and Halo 2's "In Amber Clad" (which in turn is loosely based on Halo: Combat Evolved's "Under Cover of Night"). Halo 2 themes "The Last Spartan" are "Unyielding" combined into "Finish The Fight", with the intro also containing a pastiche of 2's "High Charity". CE themes "Under Cover of Night" and "Perchance to Dream" become "Dream Again". During the credits, "Farthest Outpost", "Under Cover", and the guitar riff of "In Amber Clad" are all mixed together. | |

The "Restoring The Light, Facing The Dark" motif from Ori and the Blind Forest is pastiched many times, notably with the Kwolok's Hollow theme for the boss fights with the Hornbug and later Kwolok himself, the Wellspring and Baur's Reach themes for their respective Escape Sequences, and the Mouldwood Depths theme for the battle with Mora the Spider. | |

Dragon Quest: The Dragon Quest II castle theme, "Chateau," is a pastiche of Bach's "Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major" and August Wilhelmj's arrangement "Air on the G String". The sailing theme, "Beyond the Waves," is a pastiche of the opening of Johann Strauss Jr.'s "On the Beautiful Blue Danube". The Dragon Quest III castle theme, "Rondo," is a pastiche of Telemann's Viola Concerto in G and Henryk Wieniawski's Légende. The Jipang theme is a pastiche of "March of the Siamese Children." |
