King Kong (E-Rotic song)
# King Kong (E-Rotic song)

"King Kong" is a single released by the eurodance group E-Rotic in 2001. In 2005 was covered by J-Pop girl group Hinoi Team, and again in 2006 by the Germany-based J-pop group Shanadoo.

## E-Rotic's version

In September 2001, E-Rotic released "King Kong" in Germany. One month later, the song was featured in the album Sex Generation.

### Music Video

Like most of E-Rotic's videos, King Kong is a surreal cartoon that takes place in the ongoing E-Rotic character universe. The video features a group of island natives with the intention of sacrificing three topless girls to a giant gorilla, a new character named "King Kong".

Some scenes from E-Rotic's previous music video, "Billy Jive (With Willy's Wife)", reappeared here.

## Hinoi Team version

In July, 2005 Hinoi Team release "King Kong" as the group's second single. This single was released only in Japan.

Although Hinoi Team's version retains a sprinkle of the English lyrics, this version was re-written in Japanese. The lyrics also change the sexual innuendo theme of the song into a childlike love song.

### Music Video

The video features Hinoi Team dancing in front of a waterfall, with solo scenes in a fantasy-like garden. They dance the para para routine for King Kong, a popular style of dance in Japan.

## Shanadoo version

In 2006, Shanadoo debuted in Germany with the single, "King Kong." It is a cover of Hinoi Team's version of the song, opposed to the original lyrics in E-Rotic's version. This single was not released in Japan, although it was included in the album Welcome to Tokyo, which did have a Japanese release.

### Music Video

Shanadoo's music video features the group dancing in a pink room. They also perform the para para routine for "King Kong" in this video.
