Favorites In Original said...

OK... Despite usually 阿小鳳姐的唱腔 a little over the top and dated to my taste, but I like her version more than Boney M's original on this one. I am surprised to say that actually, since the original was such a classic. There was a time though, I simply hated Rivers of Babylon, the melody was repetitive and the vocal is a little to the high-pitch side for me.

撞歌 ：林子祥 1978年'各施各法'專輯 - 開心唱首歌。

其實我覺得英文版是最好，2個廣東版都好得意，如聼膩英文版，可以選擇廣東版來保持這個旋律的新鮮感 ^^

Original version: The Melodians - Rivers Of Babylon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_Babylon

But the song was made popular by the German group Boney M. And probably the inspired-by for both Paula Tsui & George Lam.

I also like Paula's more (perhaps when I was a kid, my parents/aunts/uncles used to play Paula's cassettes a lot) > Boney M's > Ah Lam's > The Melodians'
