Edward: Toby, can you tell Sir Topham Hatts to cancel that special coal, Henry has gone a bit crazy, and also, he going to leap into the harbor like he is Batman. Toby: On it, Edward. Edward: James and Percy, try to stop Henry before he gets hurt while I reason him. Percy: Yes, Sir. James: Um, too late, Henry just jumped into the harbor. That all I think. 😅
Funny, as a kid I always thought “Do they know it’s Christmas” sounded like Donald and Douglas’ theme, but now that I listen to it again, definitely sounds more like Edward’s
Son of a gun I knew James theme was based around a Jazz theme I just could never find it and I felt like Mr Ryan mentioned it in one of his old fact videos. Now It has been found again.
I have an addition: The Scottish twins’ theme sounds very similar to the tunes of ‘Dejlig Er Den Himmel Blå’s 3rd and 4th lines. This song was written by author, poet, Pastor and more, N.F.S. Grundtvig You already got my first bit, which was Edward and Do They Know It’s Christmas
Oh my goodness. Maybe at some point, I could make a video based on this. I can imagine seeing the Yellow Submarine moving around while the song "Rules and Regulations" plays out and then people say, " Oh my, they are so similar." "We all live by Rules and Regulations, Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine."
@@andreiemanueltudose2445 Not necessarily because they sound similar there was inspiration, the Batman theme seems much more likely to have been inspired by a track from Journey to the Center of the Earth (Score by Bernard Herrmann), which is older than the Thomas the Tank Engine one, and is more similar to the Batman Theme IMO
I’m the 1000th liked for this video! For part 3 will you include these from TTTE and Sailor Moon? Moonlight Densetsu and the Runaway theme Every Day’s a Special Day on Sodor and Everlasting Melody Happy Marriage Song and Patience
The hardest music to find any similarities is Percy's series 1 theme as no music sounds like that (except Pingu's series 1 TV intro theme or some other cartoon)
The problem with the danny elfman Batman theme(1989) being similar to the Henry’s sad theme(1984), is Henry’s sad theme was 5 years earlier, so it’s more of a coincidence than anything.
Was henry's depressed theme used in the sad story of henry along with coal the flying kipper and devious diesel deed which was used for duck when he goes to edward's station
Personally, I really enjoy Indiana Jones since I love the action and the adventures. However, I think that the theme Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell wrote for Percy is more in line with his character and the way in which he matures over time.
This isn't technically Thomas music, but I've always thought the credits theme from TUGS sounds kinda similar to the opening of "Welcome to the Black Parade".
It's a bit random, but the song 'Nunca es Suficiente' by the Mexican pop songstress Natalia Lafourcade (you can find it on RUclips). Every time I hear it my brain goes "Thomas the Tank!" I don't know whether it's simply just the "trainy" rhythm, which is obvious, but I wonder if there's perhaps also something in the harmonisation (maybe around the chorus?) that triggers the memory? I'm not a musician, so I can't really analyse it, I just know that my childhood senses get invoked of the Thomas the Tank theme tune!
5:16 You’re essentially saying that you’re “not a big fan” of one of the most iconic, inspiring, and heroic themes in film history and the musical embodiment of adventure.
While I do know James' theme is similar to the Busse Bounce, I also find it similar to the Inspector Gadget theme. The similarity is more prominent with James' S1 Triumphant Theme. Am I the only one who noticed this? Also, I've not made the connection between Henry's and Batman's themes until now somehow lmao
Edward's theme and Do they know it's Christmas time is kinda iffy for me I can hear some similarity but I think James' theme and Henry buses have more similarities
I'm gonna be honest. When i listened to the Mr.Booze song from family guy the beginning (to me) sounded strangely like the start of gordon's theme.. ruclips.net/video/ESQGTvIGebs/видео.html
“I hate snakes, Thomas! I HATE THEM!” Percy screamed frantically.
I can imagine just Henry roaming sodor, derailing diesels being like “I’m batfirebox.”
That makes no sense. It’s “I’m battrain. Justice, FOR SODOR!”
“This is where I watched my Tree’s die James”
Edward: Toby, can you tell Sir Topham Hatts to cancel that special coal, Henry has gone a bit crazy, and also, he going to leap into the harbor like he is Batman.
Toby: On it, Edward.
Edward: James and Percy, try to stop Henry before he gets hurt while I reason him.
Percy: Yes, Sir.
James: Um, too late, Henry just jumped into the harbor.
That all I think. 😅
Batengine: The Black Five
Lol.
Do They Know It's Christmas is one of my pet peeves, but Thomas The Tank Engine is a joyful childhood core memory.
Finally someone else that hates that song
Funny, as a kid I always thought “Do they know it’s Christmas” sounded like Donald and Douglas’ theme, but now that I listen to it again, definitely sounds more like Edward’s
“I HATE SNAKES AND BOULDERS!” Said Percy.
Son of a gun I knew James theme was based around a Jazz theme I just could never find it and I felt like Mr Ryan mentioned it in one of his old fact videos. Now It has been found again.
Henry: "I became the thing I fear the most. I'm Raintrain"
“This is where I watched my tree’s die James”
Here's one:
Emily's Theme in the Miller era sounds like the beginning of "Somebody That I Used To Know".
No, it’s more like “black sheep, black sheep have you any wool?” Song.
@@2MTMogul...well, yeah. somebody that i used to know samples that. well, either that, the abcs or twinkle twinkle little star (pitched down).
Somebody That I Used To Know is very similar to The Sandworms Bg by Doodle Do
One thing I noticed was that the song, James the red engine has a part similar to the song, “Crazy little thing called Love” by Queen.
I have an addition:
The Scottish twins’ theme sounds very similar to the tunes of ‘Dejlig Er Den Himmel Blå’s 3rd and 4th lines. This song was written by author, poet, Pastor and more, N.F.S. Grundtvig
You already got my first bit, which was Edward and Do They Know It’s Christmas
Henry: I'm batengine
Fun fact the instrument used for the ttte season 1 85 87 was a Roland D 550 synth
And another:
The season one 1-2 danger theme sounds like The Collecter's theme from The Owl House.
Oh my goodness. Maybe at some point, I could make a video based on this. I can imagine seeing the Yellow Submarine moving around while the song "Rules and Regulations" plays out and then people say, " Oh my, they are so similar."
"We all live by Rules and Regulations, Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine."
I always thought that Percy’s theme from the classic area sounds like “Break my Stride”
are these just coincidences or did they actually inspire thomas themes after themes from the past?
Well it depends like batman Theme from 1989 it inspired by The Sad Henry Theme
@@andreiemanueltudose2445 Not necessarily because they sound similar there was inspiration, the Batman theme seems much more likely to have been inspired by a track from Journey to the Center of the Earth (Score by Bernard Herrmann), which is older than the Thomas the Tank Engine one, and is more similar to the Batman Theme IMO

Every Day’s a Special Day on Sodor and Everlasting Melody
Happy Marriage Song and Patience
Another underrated TTTE youtuber? Ima sub
I've been DYING for someone to make the connection between Edward’s Theme and Feed The World for a few years now
“I’m not just an engine, I AM JUSTICE!”
-Henry the Green Engine
Even cooler the second narrator's brother voiced Ringo in Yellow Submarine
@@Dangerzone334ArchiveOfficial indeed, Paul Angelis brother of Michael Angelis :)
The hardest music to find any similarities is Percy's series 1 theme as no music sounds like that (except Pingu's series 1 TV intro theme or some other cartoon)
Woah! All of them sound so similar to one another!
I’ve noticed that the Really Useful Engine motif sounds like the beginning like, 5s of English Folk Song Suite movement I: Seventeen Come Sunday
Percy’s theme being the Indiana jones theme is crazy!
James’ theme in the beginning also somewhat sounds like Frankie Lymon’s why do fools fall in love.
The problem with the danny elfman Batman theme(1989) being similar to the Henry’s sad theme(1984), is Henry’s sad theme was 5 years earlier, so it’s more of a coincidence than anything.

2:03 "I'm Henry" 😂
I always thought Percy's theme from the Hit Era sounded similar to the Raiders March.
Personally, I really enjoy Indiana Jones since I love the action and the adventures. However, I think that the theme Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell wrote for Percy is more in line with his character and the way in which he matures over time.
The synth bit in "Do They Know It's Christmas" also sounds like the Middle 8 in Dr Who!
This isn't technically Thomas music, but I've always thought the credits theme from TUGS sounds kinda similar to the opening of "Welcome to the Black Parade".
Another theme that sounds kind of similar is Diesel’s theme to the song Stand By Me.
Diesel's theme is basically "Summertime" honestly.
It's a bit random, but the song 'Nunca es Suficiente' by the Mexican pop songstress Natalia Lafourcade (you can find it on RUclips). Every time I hear it my brain goes "Thomas the Tank!"

5:28 I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
you forgot The Tugs theme which is from a ballad by junior campbell called "Do You Have To Fall In Love"
I was shocked about the Edward theme and Band Aid.
EDWARD DOES KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS!
me clenching my knee getting low holding the rock sign up swinging my head to "HAROLD THE HELICOPTER BRAVE IS HE"
Henry's happy theme sounds similar to "hide your love away" by the beatles.
james' S1 theme was 100% inspired by the busse bounce
The Rules and Regulations and the Veggietales theme is VERY similar
Wonder what it be like if Yellow Submarine was combined with Veggietales theme? 🤔
5:16 You’re essentially saying that you’re “not a big fan” of one of the most iconic, inspiring, and heroic themes in film history and the musical embodiment of adventure.
I understand the love it gets but it played on the radio every single morning when I was a kid and I just got sick of it 🫤
@@anonymousthomasfan1111What radio station was that? But anyway, it’s not exactly fair to hold that against the theme.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 I guess not, I might warm up to it one day. And it was BBC radio 2
god that thumbnail is good!
Great video. Thanks for uploading. Please don't delete this comment like you did with my other two.
@@craig1538 ok m8 👍
@@anonymousthomasfan1111 Cheers mucker. 👍😁
Compare the Beatles "you never give me your money." To Thomas "Gone fishing."
Henry: i am henry
Omg I am sorry I didn't see this comment! I kinda commented the same thing😢
@@WilliamAfton115 it's ok. :(
Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin sounds like the Thomas and Friends Theme Song
Jelly Roll Morton's "Grandpa's Spells" is also similar.
The 'Truck Stealer' music in The Diseasel has always made me think of the German National Anthem.
The start of James' theme to me sounds like the start of Pennies from Heaven by Louis Prima
If you listen to James’ extended theme by S.A. Music, it’s basically the same as Busse’s piece.
Look up the song Youth of America by The Wipers, dead ringer for the troublesome trucks/runaway theme. I believe it came out in 1980
The Indiana jones music also sounds similar to when Douglas rescued Oliver
Mike and Junior based that rescue theme on popular themes like the great escape and Indiana Jones
While I do know James' theme is similar to the Busse Bounce, I also find it similar to the Inspector Gadget theme. The similarity is more prominent with James' S1 Triumphant Theme. Am I the only one who noticed this? Also, I've not made the connection between Henry's and Batman's themes until now somehow lmao
My opinion is that the Harbor theme from Season 3 might have been inspiration for the ocean theme in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
3:52 yippie!
Mind, BLOOWN! 🤯🤯🤯🤯😃😃😃👍👍👍
Did you know that Thomas’ theme was inspired by Mean Mr. Mustard
Edward's theme and Do they know it's Christmas time is kinda iffy for me I can hear some similarity but I think James' theme and Henry buses have more similarities
Rules and Regulations does have a few similarities with the original Neighbours theme tune in places.
Rules and regulations kinda sound like the veggietales theme song
did bro really say "childrenhood"
Maybe
I think James's theme sounds like the Floral Dance.
You forgot a part with a little luck sounding like the thomas theme
By Paul McCartney?
@@anonymousthomasfan1111 yes
@@Michaelb-g3b It is actually a Wings track but Paul McCartney sings on vocals.
Indiana Jones and Oliver's escape theme sound SOOO close
with the indisana i think of olivers theme
olivers theme escape sounds like indiana joens as well
Hit Percy theme is just a flute version of Indiana jones
No way! 😲
Henry just got *serious*
Percy hit era them was such a missed opportunity to bring back boulder and have him chase percy
About Gordon's Theme Diesel Theme Duck's Theme And Donald and Douglas Theme And Harold The Helecopter Theme

I'm gonna be honest. When i listened to the Mr.Booze song from family guy the beginning (to me) sounded strangely like the start of gordon's theme..
ruclips.net/video/ESQGTvIGebs/видео.html
'Mr. Booze' wasn't originally from Family Guy. It was from the 1964 movie 'Robin & the 7 Hoods'.
wow
The Beatles and Thomas thing is old news now
but olivers theme sounds like indiana jones
What About Gordon?
Agreed, they sound almost the same!
Also there's a video of a piece music, That's sounds like duck's theme: ruclips.net/video/CaOj2uzVv0A/видео.html
