Keith Mansfield's Funky Fanfare Vs Lola by The Kinks

I bet I'm not the first one to comment on this, but after some light googling I found nothing: The melody to Lola (1970) by The Kinks sounds an awful lot like Keith Mansfield's Funky Fanfare (1969) doesn't it?

It does !

Have a listen at this 1969 instrumental;

Also check this one;

I know, right!? The Arzachel version was actually the one I personally heard first (entered it here: https://secondhandsongs.com/case/69926 ).

It was sampled too. And even more cover-versions here:
