Country songs about women killing their shitty husbands and janky RPG Maker horror games with abused little girl protagonists where the Good Ending route culminates in killing her shitty father may not be the same species of media, but you could probably make a solid argument that they're close cousins.
Super Mario Maker contains a version of the Gnat Attack minigame from Mario Paint. However, while the original Mario Paint minigame had no time limit, the Super Mario Maker version adds a very restrictive 30 second time limit to each round.
This results in the music never having the chance to play even a single loop to the end, and being impossible to hear fully in-game. While the music for the first two rounds is similar to the original SNES tracks, the boss battle against the giant robotic fly King Watinga has been rearranged with new instruments.
Above are two full loops of the King Watinga theme, which cannot be heard in-game for longer than 30 seconds into the track.

I made my first big zine! It's about the emo subculture :> I spent a lot of time working on this thing and I'm so proud of it! It'd mean so much if you guys checked it out.
sometimes a theme tune composed for a show aimed at little kids is far better than it needs to be, when honestly any vaguely catchy or obnoxiously ear-grabbing formula would do just fine nobody would really care, and then you look up the composer and it's always some like. former member of an alternative rock group or experimental new wave keyboardist and you go ah yeah it makes sense now.
Because I am literally never not thinking about weird meta, blurring lines between reality and narrative, and the whole concept of actors becoming their characters, I am now entertaining thoughts of a Shadow of the Vampire-style story wherein a late-2010s-style all-female The Lost Boys remake gets derailed when the lead actress suddenly starts not showing up to shooting because she's sleeping all day...
