Oddworld music in ad

[moxco]

Listen to the music carefully.

[Strike Witch]

You lost me there.

And why the fuck is this in Oddworld Help?

[Oddey]

Yep this is definately one of those wtf moments. I see why it's in Oddworld help. Ghost if you listen it's the same music from the opening screen of AO and AE. But I think it's easier to hear in AO.

[Jordan]

Wow that's really creepy, but funny at the same time.
How the HELL did you find this video?

[abe is now!]

I think the music of this clip is used in Oddworld and in other contexts (for example this).

[ParamiteSurprise]

Lol winsock dll error, trust windows NT, and yeah, it sounds wierd about oddworld music being on it O_o

It's from MO too. In the opening screen when you see the meetle flying around.

[OddYouko]

What the heck?! That doesn't even match with the video if you ask me. >=/

[LaraRaider]

Ok, the Oddworld Inhabitants theme.

Off topic:
If you are using Windows XP or Vista don't forget they are of Windows NT family.

Creepy, Funny, and weird at the same time.
The music totally dosent suit it though.

[Bullet Magnet]

Yes, I hear it. The little atmospheric music swells that play during the "Oddworld Inhabitants presents an ALIVE experience" sequences at the beginning of the first three games.

[mudling]

Woah, good to see some people recognise Oddworld, or maybe it was the other way round ....
jokes
Maybe the authors of the musics just liscened it for other producers, maybe they don't even know what Oddworld is.
Anyways, I have know idea how you have found this, but good job!

[Xavier]

funny stuff, but that add is horrible, I mean, nice music and pictures, but the voice is spoiling everything

The voice is the best part! It reminds me of the Happycake Oven episode of Sealab.
A french accent is just the traditional accent to apply to anything under the sea. Try Spongebob Squarepants and The Demented Cartoon Movie for examples.

I think some of Oddworld audios are taken from many places, because when I was playing the video game 'Crash Bandicoot 2' I found a monster (rat) which has a Scrab sound... yes THAT Scrab

[Wil]

It’s not the same noise. It just sounds similar.

[Friendly Slig]

...I played it myself and I heard the sound, first I thought I was wrong, but I'm sure
For example, look at this video.. I picked a random one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mWuJR4cGX4 (You don't have to watch it to the end, just the first 34 seconds)
It's a Scrab noise!

[Wil]

I stand by what I said. I’ve played the game myself, many times over many years.

[Bullet Magnet]

The same bit continues and does its own thing, but the first few are identical in both the instruments and notes played. I even played it next to my copy of MO, and the similarity is astonishing.

[moxco]

This company ripped some Microsoft music off a game and used it on an add abusing Microsoft. That's what I find stupid.

If your wondering how I came across that it was nothing exiting.

My freind told me about this and the add was under 'Related Videos' so I wachted it.

[ParamiteSurprise]

Whoa, cool, a scrab-rat

[Jordan]

You often get sounds used over and over for everything. Like sheep in a cartoon may sound like the ones from Worms.

It's an impression of Jacques Cousteau, the famous submarine documentarian.

To me it does sound like they've ripped off the Oddworld theme. It's almost identical for those few seconds. They probably think that the music is in the public domain (i.e. out of copyright).

[OddYouko]

I noticed the Scrab noise too Friendly Slig I was like "yeah that rat sounds the same as a Scrab!"

[mudling]

Hmm, seems well incorperated, maybe there was a classical sympotheny that inspired OI for their music.
Or more probably, they ripped them off.

PLUS ODYSSEY.....

Is this not oddworld music? I thought it was exactly the same! It also appears in several parts of AE as well as MO and AO. The video worried me, seriously, what kind of bonkers person would do this? I know it was funny and all, but still...

And Why is this in oddworld help? as said earlier by ghost, although i don't believe he was answered.

[moxco]

It got moved out of Oddworld help ages ago.

[abe is now!]

What is the name of that music? I don't think it has been made just for Oddworld, no?
