I was wondering, could 8-26 be interpreted as "A Man's ~Man~"? I've always wondered if that's what they were aiming for.
Additionally, I don't think this is an original piece either, much like BOFIII's "Tail of a Shark" ... I swear I've heard a simular melody in an old rock song or something.
Edit:
Actually, thanks to my father, I nailed this, it is a cover, a cover of "Wipe Out" by the Ventures.

You can but that in the same league as "Neon Tiger Stage."
