Maybe someone involved with the movie complained. Apparently, it wasn't altered enough, as the track was changed for the actual game. In the demo version of the game, the track was an altered version of the main theme from The Rock.
The director and composer of that movie also happens to have directed The Thing (1982), which is known for seemingly having inspired Jenova. Am I?" sounds like the theme to The Fog (1980). "Underneath the Rotting Pizza"'s bassline sounds a lot like "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys, which is fitting considering the lyrics of the song.It also sounds like "Oye Como Va", which is originally by Tito Puente, but the rock band Santana's version of it is more well-known.The theme of Costa del Sol sounds like "And I Love Her" by the Beatles.It also sounds a lot like the Twin Peaks theme.The refrain of Tifa's theme resembles the "sad walking-away music" from The Incredible Hulk (1977)."Anxious Heart" 's intro is lifted note-for-note from Kraftwerk's Spacelab.It also sounds similar to Motörhead's "Jailbait", along with "M-93R" by the Japanese metal band Action!. A later part, including the chorus, is actually a relatively unknown part of Final Fantasy VI's opera theme sped up. "Fight On!", the main boss theme, borrows from Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in its intro.Aerith's theme is basically a reinterpretation of Final Fantasy VI's opera climax."Forested Temple" resembles the Habanera from the opera Carmen, the bells of the FF 7 piece in particular syncing well to the Habanera."Cinco de Chocobo" is in turn a pastiche of the Dave Brubeck Quartet's jazz standard "Take Five"."Electric de Chocobo" is basically the Chocobo theme pretending to be "Wipeout" by The Surfaris.The chorus also seems at least inspired by the second part of "Dancing Mad" from Final Fantasy VI. The first part (before the choir comes in) of "One-Winged Angel" sounds a lot like the music from the shower scene in Psycho."Gold Saucer" is clearly inspired by "Herr Jesu Christ, Dich Zu Uns Wend (BMV 655)".The music that plays during the intro scenes resembles the "Tunnel Chase" music from the first Terminator movie.Another song from the same album ( In the Court of the Crimson King) is fittingly also called "Epitaph", though it doesn't have any obvious similarities to Uematsu's song. One part in "Epitaph" is taken directly from "Moonchild" by King Crimson."Mystic Forest"'s beginning is essentially part of "Is There Anybody Out There?" by Pink Floyd, arranged with a choir."Techno de Chocobo" sounds like "Technopolis" by Yellow Magic Orchestra.The key, multiple chords and parts of the bassline are taken straight from Sakamoto's song in a really obvious manner, and even the instrumentation is similar, as both songs use a string section and an acoustic bass. "Kids in the Street Corner" is essentially a more medieval-sounding version of the 60's hit "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto."The Magic House", and the unused dungeon music from Final Fantasy II on which it's based, both sound just like Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca".The more rocky parts of the tune seem to have been inspired by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, "Tarkus" in particular. "Dancing Mad" sounds quite a bit like Triumvirat's " The Burning Sword of Capua "."Terra" shares a bassline with the Mars Movement of Gustav Holst's The Planets.Then there's "Slam Shuffle", or Nobuo Uematsu's take on The Pink Panther theme.The intro to Celes's theme (before it transitions into a reprise of "Aria de Mezzo Carattere") bears no small resemblance to the file select/fairy fountain theme from The Legend of Zelda series.The bassline sounds like it was ripped straight from Carl Perkins' "Honey Don't". Goode" but is more thematically similar to "Rock This Town" by the Stray Cats.
Bad" is named after Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Of course, it also sounds very similar to the theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The first few bars of Shadow's theme sound a lot like the opening theme to The Virginian.It also resembles Kraftwerk's Trans Europa Express. The title theme sounds like " Thus Spake Zarathustra " played on an organ.The beginning of Alkan's piece is very close to that theme apart from it being slower and for piano. One that falls between this and orchestration: Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI and Alkan's La Chanson De La Folle Au Bord De La Mer which dates to 1847.Locke's Theme and the theme of Back to the Future.
