I couldn't believe how much I loved this little song until I realized it reminds me a lot of another song I enjoy:
This is haloween!!!

That's what alot of us in 1.0 thought when we heard it for the first time. Hehe

Why does Moogle Music sound like...
" The Nightmare before Christmas Remixed" " This is Halloween, This is Halloween" :P

It's like an odd mix of an ICP song and This is Halloween (video on that link doesnt work, btw :( )

At least now I know I wasn't the only one to notice the comparison :P
P.S. The link I posted works, but it doesn't seem to want to start right away for some reason -

The music itself is actually a remix of the Moogle theme. The English lyrics are what make it sound like This Is Halloween. Still a neat decision by the ENG translation team.

*sighs* How many times has this come up? If anything Danny Elfman ripped off Uematsu as the moogle theme in FFV (known as Critter Tripper Fritter) preceded Burton's film score by at least a year. The only similarities is in Soken's ARR arrangement, and even that is a stretch. Same style, yes, but you can't copyright a style of music.

As someone who has seen a lot of musicals, I know various songs they employ this chorus type arrangement.
'Blame Canada' is a good example people might now.
Now here's an important question: where can I get the lyrics?
Not cause I plan to sing it over vent or something like that >.> -

The lyrics for Good King Moogle Mog the XII? They're included in English in the inlay booklet with the Before Meteor album (it's also listed on the FF Wiki as well), but if you really insist. :D
Somewhat surprisingly, the forum's very own Fernewahles (ala Micheal Christopher Koji Fox) is not only credited as the writer for the lyrics, he also was one of the vocals on the track, according to the Before Meteor booklet. It shows just how talented he is! :DQuote:
