The old theme song for WWE tag team partners and brothers, the Hardy Boyz:

From Japan, with things like Guns ‘n Roses sneaking into Mega Man X games through chiptune remixes, I can understand. But an American company using a theme from another American company, the two of which are not related? Perhaps there was a licensing agreement for it? I’d have to see the credits of the TransFormers: Revenge of the Fallen video game to really know for sure, and I’m nowhere near that happening. Maybe I’ll just try asking.

In any case, I have no real problems with it; it just came as a complete surprise, and a pleasant one at that.
