Just as I did with the letter "I", I have sort of cheated with this one :). While technically I suppose Commander Keen should come under "C" the executable file for the Commander Keen games was often "KEEN.EXE" so I'm going to use that as my lame excuse.
When I looked for games beginning with the letter "K" with remixes or covers, there wasn't much out there. There was a King's Quest V remix I found on OCRemix but I didn't really rate it - which is why I decided to go for a Commander Keen remix instead since there's a better selection to choose from. "You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables" from Secret of the Oracle (or Keen 4) seems to be the most popular in terms of remixes (which might have something to do with the song playing when you first meet with the infamous Dopefish) although my favourite remix would have to be an old one by analoq called "man siecht sich galaxie" based off Bobby Prince's "Tropical Ghost Oasis".
The track starts off pretty trippy but then becomes a pretty chilled and groovy piece of music before becoming very Kraftwerk-like around 3:08.
