In Wiggys Earthbound VC thread I was having some fun posting similarities of BG music in games and other songs.

Donkey Kong - 25m -- The Beatles - Ballad of John and Yoko
Yoshi's Island - Star Theme / Super Mario 64 - Wing Cap -- The Bonzo Dog Band - Keynsham
Zelda 2 - Title Screen -- Queen - Father To Son
Super Dodge Ball - England(NES) -- The Beatles - I Wanna Hold Your Hand / Get Back / A Hard Days Night
Battle Dodge Ball -England (SNES) -- The Beatles - I Feel Fine
Dr. Mario - Fever -- Blue Oyster Cult - Dr. Music / The Beatles - Lady Madonna
Super Mario Bros 3 -- The Beatles - Lady Madonna
Earthbound - Buy Something Will Ya -- The Beatles -When I'm 64
Bomb Jack -- The Beatles - Lady Madonna
Super Mario World - Vanilla Dome -- The Rolling Stones - Monkey Man
Mega Man X -- Peter Gunn Theme
Parappa the Rapper -- Can - Turtles Have Short Legs
The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Kakriko Village -- The Beatles - Yes It Is
Spy Hunter -- Peter Gunn Theme

This one is the opposite:
