Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the beginning of 1969 and the music that plays in Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indiana Jones is in the map room trying to locate the Ark of the Covenant?
Have a listen...

I've always thought they sounded rather similar. Or maybe it's just me...

Woah, you just may be on to something!
Just hearing the Map Room music makes me want to watch that movie again for the 50th time.

I think the instrumentation is really, really, really close.
So then all it would take is a lot of modification by BoC... I hear the resemblance in the sound of the notes but not their tones. So a few pitch bends, or other trickery to suit their liking.
Noteworthy, I think

they definitely did not sample this, just a coincidence.

Well of course not, it just sounds similar. That's what he was saying.

I didn't think it was sampled either however I wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired from. MDG?
