I love when this thread gets bumped. 

A bit of backstory; Michael Jackson supposedly worked on the soundtrack to Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.  He went uncredited supposedly because either he wasn't satisfied with the music he created or because Sega wanted to distance themselves from him as the child molestation lawsuits were beginning.  The stylistic similarities are most noticeable to me in the Sonic 3 act 1 boss theme.  Anyway, a keyboardist for the Jetzons was a producer for MJ and the song, Hard Times, sounds decidedly similar to both Smooth Criminal as well as the Sonic 3 stage Ice Cap Zone.

Holy crap.  I never knew that.  Awesome!

I didn't know the game Platypus before, but it looks like every one of its level themes is a very close remix of a famous C64 tune.
1) Comic Bakery, Martin Galway
2) Parallax, Galway
3) Sanxion, Rob Hubbard
4) Aztec Challenge, Paul Norman(?)
5) Wizball, Galway again
6) Driller, Matt Gray

The original C64 tunes are all awesome and really worth checking out.

Well, they both have nearly the same chord progression as Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy anyway...
