I remember there being a thread like this some time ago, but I don't know where it is now. Hope it's okay if I bring it back just for the halibut.
Anyway, this has been a thing as of recent - finding songs in video games that sound similar to a song not video game-related. It's happened quite a few times. Feel free to share any experiences you've had with this matter.
For example:
This song shares some similar chords in the main melody with
this song.

Here's an interesting one:
Listen to the bass line in this tune (Chameleon by Herbie Hancock)

then listen to the bass line in this one (Mallow Castle from Kirby Super Star)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwXbfSk8yAc .
They sound rather similar, but I'm sure if you pitch Chameleon up one whole step, you can better hear the similarity.

Even though everyone knows this by now, I feel it's obligatory to post this:

It might be a cover of Popcorn, sounds too similar to me.

A bit of an obscure one and it isn't quite the same (also considering how tone deaf I am) since it is a jazzy take, however it is similar enough to notice:
World Heroes 2 - Not New York (Deathmatch Theme 3) [This is the CD version, can't find the original chiptune version on Youtube that sounds slightly more closer]

It's weird how certain songs sound so similar, that people actually find it interesting. Yet the composer for early-2000s DBZ games is now in hiding because some of his music had pinches of old 70s tunes.

Gotta three-fer.
Safe to say, Jungle Hijinx (and every other variation) was probably inspired by those classic jazz tunes.
