The Bitmap Brothers co-operated with the British musician Tim Simenon to include the 1988 Bomb the Bass hip hop track “Megablast (Hip Hop on Precinct 13)” as theme music, which is also the origin of the game’s subtitle. In turn, this song features many samples from Sly and the Family Stone song, “You Can Make It If You Try”, and its theme seems heavily inspired[1] by The Splash Band track “The End (Disco Version)” released in 1984, which is itself based on the theme of John Carpenter’s film Assault on Precinct 13.
Back in the good old Amiga days a lot of musicians just copied or used samples from existing music.
