Anyone else hear the Karate Kid music besides me?


In the episode where Patrick Swayze's mom breaks the news to him about that chick getting married, I swear--the little instrumental there is from the Karate Kid!

I know Bill Conti was in charge of the music, but man...that's straight-up weird.

No....but the main theme kept reminding me of something....then I realized it's "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera.

I knew Broadway composer Andrew Lloyd Webber ripped off the main, repeated musical phrase from "Come To Me, Bend to Me" (Brigadoon) for "Music of the Night"...but I didn't know he scammed North & South, too!

You can hear the song here:
