I am sure there are more cantonese or mandarin covers of this song. Really love Rosemary Clooney's version, so classic but still sounds so flashy. In fact, I like the voice of 阮兆祥, but unfortunately his comical images in TVB just ruined all the impression his voice could have created.

1988 Chow Yun Fat's medley featuring 1min of "Cantonese Version": 周潤發 - 12分十分吋

I believe Fat was using Cantonese to sing the Mandarin lyrics (7:32-8:32)

"Mambo Italiano" is a popular song written by Bob Merrill in 1954 and recorded by Rosemary Clooney. Paula Tsui recorded a Mandarin version, Cha shao bao.

So Paula was covering/inspired from Diana's song with music intro & had a huge success with her version!

I like her version more (with the music intro instead of the acapella intro as in the original).

Cutie Mui & Louis Yuen's is just another funny-project (=ok funny). Fat's was funnier, but only 1 minute!
