Who sung the Mandarin version of Sk8er Boi?
Not sure about Sk8er Boi, but I actually collect foreign language versions of English-Language Pop hits. It seems the practice was a lot more prevalent in past years. I have had troubles locating them on recent trips abroad. But, I have some great versions of many songs in various languages. The best is the MOR/syrupy stuff like Billy Joel in Cantonese or just outright kitsch–my favorites –like the Hungarian singer who does disco versions of the Doors and other classic rock tunes. Think (serious) Moog Cookbook. I am told in the early days of Rock Music there were some specific bands, specifically in Germany who specialized in this.
