Time for another musical interlude, or more...

Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back: John Williams, theme from "Star Wars" (Return of the Jedi has a different 128K AY tune which I don't recognise, and as I've never been a Star Wars fan I wouldn't know if it was from the film or not...)

The Neverending Story: Giorgio Moroder/ Keith Farsey / Limahl - "The Neverending Story"

Pyjamarama: Gershon Kingsley - "Popcorn" (though apparently, some versions of Pyjamarama are missing this tune)

Nifty Lifty: Scott Joplin - "The Entertainer"

Billy Bong: "Waltzing Matilda" (lyrics by Banjo Paterson, tune - which is what's relevant here - by "who knows"...)

Moonwalker: Michael Jackson - "Bad" (and probably a few more of his works that I have yet to discover)

Road Runner (the 1987 US Gold game, not "...and Wile E. Coyote" by Hi-Tec): Aram Khachaturian - "Sabre Dance"

Who Dares Wins II: Elmer Bernstein - "The Great Escape - Main Theme"

Circus Games: Johann Strauss II, "An der schönen, blauen Donau", Op. 314 - at the Trick Riding stage.

And as ever, there are more for the "Name That Tune" section, which I recognise the tune of, but can't identify:

Jack The Nipper II: In Coconut Capers - this one is obscure but I'm sure I've heard it elsewhere...

Rifle Range (Mastertronic, in case there are any others) - it's a "circus" type tune, not "Entry of the Gladiators". The same tune also appears in Circus Games (at the start of the Tiger Training stage) but hasn't been added to that entry.

I have no idea about the music cues for Circus Games' Trapeze or Tightrope Walking stages, so they could probably be included here. I don't even recognise them from anywhere.

The Return of the Jedi uses John Williams' "Ewok Celebration" from the film.

The so-called V2 and the Italian official translation by Jackson Soft feature an original (most probably) tune in fact.

Excellent - two references I won't have to cast the net wider for. One I do recognise, though, is:

MagicAble: Queen - "A Kind Of Magic" (there was a clue in the thread title!)

How's that for rapid, eh?

This information will go into the "comments" section of each game page. This will require a simple spreadsheet (I suggest Google Sheets so you can share your work as read-only for others to help validate it!) with 2 columns: the game ID number, and a proper comment exactly as it should appear in the game page.

Alternatively it doesn't really need to be a spreadsheet, it can be a simple text file (one line per entry) using a special character as column separator such as "|".

For instance, this is the link for game Mikie:

viewtopic.php?f=32&t=2669

Therefore Mikie's ID is 2669. It plays "A Hard Day's Night", so a proper entry could be:

2669|Music: "A Hard Day's Night" by The Beatles.

Feel free to add extra columns to help you keep track of content (for instance game title). I will simply ignore them. For instance:

2669|Music: "A Hard Day's Night" by The Beatles.|Mikie (Joffa's)

You can write the comment in any way you find appropriate. Although I suggest starting all comments in the same way (for instance "Music:") so people will be able to easily search for these comments later.

Thank you!

Re: Music references

Post by Rorthron »

I have been cataloguing the music references and there are two games mentioned here that I cannot identify:

Corona Capers
Includes the following music: John Philip Sousa, Liberty Bell March, The Washington Post and Stars And Stripes Forever; John Stafford Smith, The Star-Spangled Banner, national anthem of the United States of America; opening chords of Nie Er, March of the Volunteers, national anthem of the People's Republic of China; Iron Maiden, Virus; John Kander, Theme from New York, New York

High Noon
Includes the following music: Chopin, Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor op. 35, III. Lento "Funeral March" [when a gunfighter is killed]

Can anyone help me identify which games the comments are supposed to relate to?

Also, music has been given for Sweevo's World (John Philip Sousa, The Washington Post). Is it the same for Sweevo's Whirled?

It's my CSSCGC entry that's probably going to see me have to host next year's competition, at this rate. It hasn't been added to ZXDB yet,

And while we're at it, my almost-as-spectacularly-musical entry from 2004, Super Mario Fruit Machine, could also be included for its title music, a.k.a. "the theme from Super Mario Bros. World 1-1" (and 1-3, and - unless my memory fails me - every *-1 and *-3 in the game, and in SMB2J/The Lost Levels as well).

Both of them, there is a Wham! version for 48k only.


and

Download the TZX from Music Box
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/8 ... _Music_Box
and you will have the 128k edition and the 48k edition - this is not the wham! version but a new version with different songs.

Thanks. So is the archive wrong, then, and has it conflated two different 48K versions?
Should we instead have three titles:

1. Wham! the Music Box 48K (1985);
2. The Music Box 128K (1986);
3. The Music Box 48K (1986)?

Should the note also say that 2 and 3 cane together, rather than 1 and 2?

1 Wham! 48k was released by itself with George and Andrew on the cover

2 & 3 (128k and 48k) were released together with a music box on the cover. No Wham! in this edition.

As far as I know, the Wham edition wasn't sold with the 128 music biox.
I did purchase Wham! when it was released. My friend purchased the 128 music box the following year to go with his 128k Spectrum, I borrowed his tape to grab a copy of the program and recorded both sides because it had a new 48k version.

This information came from old WoS. I'm fixing it now!

I will update it to say that The Music Box is a Spectrum 48K/128K title (one version on each tape side just like Fairlight) and it's derived from Wham!

1. What is "Train"?

2. The Sweevo's World title music is The Washington Post per other sources, and The Can-Can is Galop Infernal, so I will change both of these.

3. I am planning to exclude Gyroscope, Rock and Wrestle and Exploding Fist, unless we can identify the tunes as sourced from elsewhere.

This means the proposed ZXDB comment is likely to look something like this:

8965|Wham! The Music Box|Includes the following music: Wham!, Careless Whisper, Freedom, Club Tropicana, Young Guns, Bad Boys
8481|The Music Box|Includes the following music: [48K] When the Saints Go Marching In; Jacques Offenbach, Orphée aux enfers II, 2 “Galop Infernal”; Men Of Harlech; [128K] Johann Strauss Jr., An der schönen, blauen Donau op.314 “The Blue Danube” waltz; John Philip Sousa, The Washington Post; When the Saints Go Marching In

Does this make sense?

No, not like Fairlight at all! Fairlight was released in 1985 before the 128 was released, with a separate 128k version the following year.

What I mean is, the 128K release of Fairlight included both (48K and 128K) in the same package, as separate programs.

Thanks for fixing Wham! The Music Box/The Music Box so quickly. I have one quick correction, though. For Wham! The Music Box, there is a comment "Derived to". "Derive" is not used this way in standard English. Better in my opinion would be "Source for" or "Origin of". ("Derived from" in The Music Box is perfectly OK.)

Since [mention]Joefish[/mention] correctly guessed it in the quiz, we should add the following:

Hunchback (ID 2383) features John W. Bratton, Teddy Bear Two-Step "The Teddy Bears' Picnic"
