A few months back, we posted on the Pinoy Big Brother (the Philippine version of Big Brother) theme’s being a ripoff. The reality series has since finished (at least the first season), and one of the newest drama series of television network ABS-CBN is Gulong ng Palad, a remake of the 1970’s soap opera of the same title.


Here’s something interesting. I read and verified that the theme for GNP has the very same melody as the 1975 soft-core French film Emmanuelle 2.


I have yet to acquire a copy of the Gulong ng Palad theme, butI got myself a copy of L’amour D’aimer, the main theme from Emmanuelle 2, sung by Sylvia Kristel (the film’s lead actress).


If you’re familiar with the GNP series and theme, check out L’amour D’aimer (sometimes also referred to as “Emmanuelle’s 7th Heaven” and “Love Song for Emmanuelle”). Tell me what you think. Is Gulong ng Palad a ripoff?


Update as of Feb-19-06: You can download versions of the Gulong ng Palad theme here (link from Jepoy)
