Why Is Ya Boy Kongming!'s OP Such An Earworm?

gamerant.com:

With 2022's anime spring lineup, Ya Boy Kongming! is yet another treat. While the premise of a historical figure being transported to the modern world is nothing new, especially in anime, this one has a certain style that it seems to make all its own. And part of that comes from its banger of an opening. While Spy x Family's «Mixed Nuts» is a mixture of cute and stylized, popping with color and energy, the second season OP of Komi Can't Communicate is appropriately light-hearted, and the OP of Kaguya-Sama — Ultra Romantic is appropriately jazzy, there's just something about Ya Boy Kongming!'s «Chitty Chitty Bang Bang» by QUEENDOM that really slaps in a special way for catchy anime OPs.

For one thing, it's actually a cover of a Hungarian song, «Bulikirály», or «Ciki Ciki Bam Bam» by Jolly, known in Japan as «Chikichiki Banban». After listening to the original song, and given the anime's premise of Kongming, General of the Three Kingdoms--significant to those who know their Three Kingdoms lore--after a life of struggling in battles that built him into a brilliant strategist, but led him to wish to be reborn into a peaceful world upon his deathbed, now finding himself sent straight to modern-day party-central in Tokyo, Japan, it's an apt song to cover. As a Euro electronic dance song that sounds right at home on the Eurovision stage, «Bulikirály» has an almost quintessential party beat. And like most songs of the «eurobeat» variety, that party beat possesses a particular kind of catchiness, the kind that makes it hard not to nod the head or tap the foot, or both. And certainly makes it difficult to get out of one's head.
