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:
“If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
