"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

The video, like all E-Rotic's videos, shows a surreal cartoon featuring a group of natives on volcano island with 3 girls and a giant gorilla ("King Kong").

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

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 child-like 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 parapara routine for King Kong, a popular style of dance in Japan.

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 parapara routine for "King Kong" in this video.
