Identify this rip-off

Hey everyone i'm sure most of people on this site heard this song's melody in a previous commercial song around i'm guessin 1996-1998? Listen to this free song "Amastuchi" on acidplanet by hitting the "play" button and it will stream the song to your computer. Listen to the intro, chord progressions, and melody. Doesn't this song sound familiar like the melody and chords was takin from an old song? I'm wanting to find out the commercial song this sounds like. If you knwo please post name.
