Inspiration Keen 5 Song

Post by Yum-Kimil »

Hi. Don't know if someone already discussed it here. Anyway... I found no mention in the Keen Wiki...
Yesterday I was half drunk driving back home and the radio in my car was playing a song and it remembered me Commander Keen 5 instantly. After a quick Research I found out that the music in the radio was "Crazy Music (for Crazy People)" from Ottawan, and it sonds very similar to "Be Very Sphereful With My Diamonds". Maybe an inspirarion to Mr. Prince?
Merry Christmas for everybody!

Wow: I definitely see what you mean. I'm going to have to try playing through some defense tunnels to this!

Here's a link to it on youtube.

Wow, what a crazy discovery! It could've been an inspiration for Bobby Prince; it wouldn't be the only time he makes a song that is based on someone else's. Beside the QED music (based on Mars, the Bringer of War from The Planets suite), wasn't there a song or two from Cosmo that took inspiration from another song?

Ah, neat! Thanks! For some reason, I thought Teck 2 was also based on a non-video game song, but according to that wiki, it's not.
