Every now and then you hear a song or a tune that you can’t quite place and it drives you crazy.  Well, this particular one has been bothering me for about a week and I think I just figured it out.  There is a song on Portal 2 Soundtrack / Songs to Test By Volume 2 called An Ancient Beyond (free download from Valve ).  It begins with a few descending notes that are repeated a few times.  Well, that particular pattern of notes has been driving me crazy and I think I’ve figured it out.

Listen:

I think it was borrowed from Goonies (you probably already guessed that fromt he post title).  Jump to 3:20 in the video below under the section titled Map and Willie.  It is almost exactly the same pattern and even the title in Portal 2 fits.  That or I’ve been awake too long and had too much caffeine.  Am I wrong?  Did anyone else notice this?  Let me know in the comments.

EDIT: one more version
