this one is the most unexpected I've ever heard (an austrian library track that sounds like the Inspector Gadget theme song)

Side Steppin' Up is clearly Dust Devil's way of making their own version of Mambo Gallego by Tito Puente. Quite ironic, since their most iconic song is a remix of Mambo Gallego.

"Party Girl" sounds a bit like something by Level 42.  Any library track that mimics Level 42 is amusing since Mike Lindup of Level 42 is the son of David Lindup.

Julian Lennon - 1984 - Too Late For Goodbyes

Thank you Bronic for a suggestion! It kinda sounds like "Whiskey Bent" indeed in terms of arrangement. However, there are not too many similarities to Julian Lennon's song, that's why I'm not entirely sure about it and leave the song title on my list as blue - so for verification.

"Lessons In Love" maybe? Indeed, it kinda sounds like "Party Girl". What do you think about that it could be taken from a more pop-oriented hit? I thought of some american artists such as Cyndi Lauper because of the style, however can't point any particular song, hahah.
