SID originals that are actually covers
This kind of information is (usually, but not always) included with STIL, but anyways, does not seem to be common knowledge here and there.
Personally, i was a bit surprised to learn about:
Zoids - Synergy - Ancestors
International Karate - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
Turrican Title Theme - Transformers (1986) - Escape (and the end tune, too)
Lazy Jones - Star Dust - Electronic Ensemble - It Happened Then
What else is notable, from the top of your heads? =) |

Yep, one example (which was a surprise to me much later) was Loco by Ben Daglish https://www.lemon64.com/game/loco
turned out to be Equinoxe part 5:

Also (onto demos now), Sweet Infection by Arise... the first tune by Randall (Hate Bush) I always expected to be original... then later he gave me a CD mix of Polish songs ranging from 70s to early 2010s, one track in particular (I think from late 90s or early 2000s) I immediately caught it's similarities to a particular part of the SID tune. It's titled in Polish of course so I can't remember what it's called. :) He may be able to help you here. |

The original Composer of "It happened then" has commented that "Stardust" from Lazy Jones is NOT a cover of it, btw (and its 4 Notes that are similar...) |

Talking about stuff not in STIL yet, maybe it's just me and maybe too vague, but I always found Ghosts 'n Goblins (ingame music at around 00:30, about the time you normally kill the first sub boss within level 1, that fire-spitting flying screaming thingie before taking the first ferry) was heavily stealing bass line and also otherwise somewhat similar to
Cyndi Lauper's She-Bop
PS: Talking about Cyndi Lauper, her offical Goonie's song Goonies 'R' Good Enough was so massacred beyond recognition by Fitzpatrick in the C64 Goonies Game that Cyndi herself would not recognize it I guess |
