THIS is really cool and I wouldn't have seen this if it weren't for that promoted comment feature of youtube.
To start, let's take a look at the music from the second stage in Double Dragon 2.
Real kickass stuff, right? I know baby, it sure is. Now add in ninjas, helicopters, and building hopping...
Okay, let's now take a look at Easy Lover by Phil Collins
I guess you can KINDA hear it between :20 and :50, but it's kinda hard to see...
But NOW let's look at the arranged version of the double dragon 2 song, Low Pursuit. Also, any DD fan should definitely check out the arranged album. It's fucking awesome.
Yea, if you click the link you can see others put the connection together much earlier than I. So credit goes to them.
Also, if you visit the Easy Lover wiki entry, it has an interesting note for the Double Dragon 2 song. Dunno about its validity but you can attribute the tip to youtube as well.

I got an even more obvious connection for ya:
"Title Theme" from Double Dragon

My favourite is the 4th level.
There's a lot here that I never knew!
