From Ecuador to Ya Boy Kongming

Back in 1997, German electronica producers group Sash! released this banger:

Then in 2013, Hungarian DJ Jolly-Bulikirály would use its melody as the base for his party anthem Bulikirály, a song about how nice it is to party and dance and drink a lot.

Finally, in 2022 P. A. Works made an anime series, PariPi Kongming/Ya Boy Kongming about a mythical Chinese warlord who is reincarnated in modern Shibuya to become an EDM producer. For its opening it took the Japanese version of Bulikirály, Chiki Chiki Bam Bam and it slapped:

That’s how international anime is these days, that you can have the Japanese version of a Hungarian song the melody of which was created by a German DJ group as the opening for a series about a Chinese warlord becoming an EDM producer for a Japanese singer. Bonus: that time Jon Richardson made a terrible pun about Sash! and Ecuador on * out of 10 Cats.
