Didn't someone make some blog post recently abt how some Donkey Kong Country song tooootally ripped off some other pop song? Or is this totally all in my head?

I think most of Invisible Touch has a DK vice but esp. the bridge on "In Too Deep."

No, I just happened to hear that tune in the Genesis thread, and felt like this track fit in better than maybe anything else. My relationship with Donkey Kong largely started and ended with the classic 1982 pocket game that introduced Mario and Donkey Kong to the world for the first time. :)
