Post other songs that you think sound the most like K.K. Slider's songs!

I'm curious to see if people can find songs from other places that sound like K.K. Slider's songs. They're all obviously done in specific styles that are right in the name of most of the songs, so, post your sound-alike songs here! Some of the songs seem to be trying to even sound like specific other songs, but I don't know them all, so I'll be curious to see what other people have noticed and what musical connections people have made.

One that comes to mind immediately is one of the unnamed songs that he plays when you failed to type in the song name properly. Specifically, "hazure02".

Fans dubbed this as K.K. Sparkle since it sounds very similar to Tatsuro Yamash!ta's "Sparkle".

This one will most likely be a new K.K. song in the next Animal Crossing similar to how fail songs become actual K.K. songs in the succeeding games.

@Rosch Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to see here! I don't know enough songs to be able to make these connections, so this is really interesting to me, and I think other people will find it interesting, too!

Other things I found pointed out by others:

- Soulful K.K. was inspired by Bill Withers' Lean on Me.
- Go K.K. Rider is based on the first Kamen Rider's theme song, Let's Go! Rider Kick
- K.K. Western sound similar to The Animals' House of the Rising Sun

K.K. Adventure reminds me of “He’s a Pirate” from Pirates of the Caribbean!
K.K. Moody sounds a lot like Sabor a Mi by Los Panchos

Apparently K.K. Robot Synth, my favorite of the new songs, is based on Vocaloid, which I'm not 100% sure what it is, but if anyone knows one of those songs that sounds similar to K.K. Robot Synth, I'd be very happy to hear it, because I love it, but it's very short, and I'd like to hear more music like that.

I'm pretty sure Rockin' K.K. was based on a real song but I'm not familiar with it.
But I can tell you it also sounds like an Earthbound song!

The beginning of All My Hope by Crowder sounds spot-on almost EXACTLY like the beginning of Soulful K.K.- I’ll never forget the first time I heard it, I had just woken up and i was like “are they actually about to play an Animal Crossing remix on the radio?” It’s uncanny how much they sound alike:

Okay I know this isn't entirely what OP is looking for, but I've been sitting on the fact that one of the phones in my collection has a ringtone that sounds like it should be a K.K. Slider tune, it's called "Lowdown" and starts at the 0:25 mark of this video:

I'm not sure what makes me think this sounds like a K.K. Slider song, maybe it's the instrument choice? To me this sounds like it'd fit in Wild World

Soulful KK always reminds me of Bill Wither’s Lean on Me. It’s my favourite KK slider song and I always have it playing in my room!!

 

[fairysyndrome]

it’s not an exact matchup, but there are parts of k.k robot synth that remind me a lot of wowaka’s works & style (0:28 for example feeling very reminiscent of rolling girl’s chorus imo)!

I'm pretty sure Rockin' K.K. was based on a real song but I'm not familiar with it.

To me it sounds like 50's rock music. Something similar to Chuck Berry.

Probably something from Elvis too

 

[psiJordan]

I love love this song and never even noticed! Even though Only Me came out years before, the progression is super similar too!

Another one I just remembered- K.K. Moody has always reminded me of the music from the Kit Kittredge game my sister and I used to play when we were younger:

They sound so similar, I think it’s the trumpet
