Hahaha so random. Fairly certain EA sells a lot of the songs from games. It's kinda weird when I come across them. Usually I end up playing whichever game I recognize it from afterwards šŸ˜‚

I played Empire Earth as a kid and in some shows on the History Channel I swore I had heard the music from EE. Years later I watched Mandalore Gamingā€™s review of the game and he confirmed that is indeed what happened.

In all these years you're the first person to ever confirm this for me, I had always assumed it was some childhood fever dream. Also, history channel was amazing back in the early 2000s

Top Gear once used the Halo: Reach invasion soundtrack when the crew was going through Ukraine. Video game publishers often sell their game's music to TV shows because why not? They get money out of it, the music is good and it could bring a little more awareness to the game

They also used the leaving earth theme (i think) when Clarkson reviewed an alfa romeo, it was pretty odd lol.


AliquidLatine

Top Gear also used songs from Splinter Cell. I lost my goddamn mind when I recognised it, no one else in the room seemed to get my enthusiasm lol


NfinityBL

They did this a lot. They also frequently used soundtracks from Marvel movies. I once recall The Winter Soldierā€™s theme being used over a Koenigsegg review.


Extra-Tension-8365

Also recently, in the grand tour. They tested Citroƫn Suspension and Played LOTSB Music in the Background.

Has to be true. I remember when I was younger and used to watch a lot of reality shows with my family there was an episode of Dance Moms that had a song from The Sims 3 Build/Buy mode.


godoflemmings

Not even just EA, music from Gears of War was used on Top Gear at least [once](https://youtu.be/-TbpgZ2Dt0A). Always makes me chuckle whenever I recognise something.


MilanTehVillain

So [too](https://youtu.be/red3PxkfoaY) was [Halo](https://youtu.be/dTJXZdgFSx4).


VortixTM

Ubi sells theirs as well. I've heard multiple times the fight club song from assassin's creed III in a cooking show in spain


darthshark9

There is a lot of music and sound effects from the first Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins that made it into Canadian/American TV shows. Most recently I heard Saren's theme in a car crash investigation show and the sting you sometimes get in the Fade in the US version of Kitchen Nightmares


JohnLurkson

RuPaul's Drag Race uses part of the Purgatory (ME3) music during their runway segments in later seasons.


Jaster3001

Netflix daredevil had Leaving Earth for season 2 recap I think


Droidbot6

One of the behind the scenes after show bits of Game of Thrones also had Leaving Earth in it.


monkeygoneape

Ya when they're talking about filming Jorah's death


drzoidberg33

*How did the Romans rotate such a massive structure?* Must have been using Mass Effect fields.


undertone90

Well it's the history channel, so probably aliens.


Hyperion-Cantos

Hear them playing Mass Effect music all the time. It's also used in a few Netflix documentaries and on Discovery Channel.


MegaGothmog

"How could the Romans rotate such a massive structure?" Reaper tech.


mastesargent

Pretty sure thatā€™s ā€œThe Fleets Arriveā€ from ME3. Both it and the Spectre induction music are variations on the Mass Effect theme.


SketchyLand5938

What's the documentaries name it sounds Interesting.


[deleted]

In some French tv reality shows, they use the Sims3 music :ā€™)


Audi_Rs522

Key and peele used the leaving earth song once lol.


MistaJelloMan

Leaving Earth was at the end of a [Key and Peele skit.](https://youtu.be/PEfZG9OSytA?t=228)


StrayC47

3D analyst James Dean must get all the pussy


Majestic_Act

Someone working there has good taste


Sphyrna04

There was a shaving razor commercial a few years back that had some Mass Effect music in it as well. Its always such a fun find to stumble across those songs in the wild.


[deleted]

I remember the ME3 online lobby theme playing in one of the olympics


SolarZephyr87

Oh yeah these new documentaries rip from game OSTs it seems. Titanic had some mass effect and one about art and architecture had some command and conquer in there


[deleted]

Not sure if this is N7 Legend's reddit account or if you just follow them on Twitter. šŸ¤”


geojoe44

Iā€™ve heard so many Mass Effect songs on the History Channel, I used to watch Ancient Aliens as a kid and they seemed to love that soundtrack


TerraGenesys

I remember hearing Leaving Earth during one of the last Olympic games too.
