Nintendo is known for getting inspiration for many of their early games' music through actual bands and songs, such as the classic Super Mario Bros. theme and others. But did you know one of Punch Out's themes is also influenced by an earlier song?

Note that the song in full is not played to prevent copyright.

Music Used:

Opponent Down - Punch Out!!
Little Mac Down - Punch Out!!
Game Over - Punch Out!!
Hotel California - Eagles

I own none of this music, Hotel California is © Eagles and all Punch Out!! music is © Nintendo. All usage of these works is for educational purposes and therefore under 17 U.S. Code § 107 for fair use.
