Parodius Music
Parodius music is one of the more distinctive features about the Parodius series. The games contain an extensive use of classical music and other well-known music, in what could be termed as wacky remixes. According to Hidenori Maezawa, music composer for Parodius ～Tako wa Chikyū o Sukū～, the use of public domain classical music in the original Parodius was the result of having only a one month deadline to complete the entire soundtrack. There are also a number of rehashes of in game music from Gradius and other Konami games—very little of the series' music was newly composed. There are even rearrangements of some popular music.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“A man in all the world’s new fashion planted,
That hath a mint of phrases in his brain.
One who the music of his own vain tongue
Doth ravish like enchanting harmony.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
