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.
