Original Tune <5>

Another source of cover version in Chinese songs is none other than from English songs. Unlike Japanese, Korean or Thailand songs where the words are syllable based which is similar to Chinese, making new lyrics to have similar word beat; Chinese lyrics in English songs might not have the same beat. Here are some of the songs originally in English. Note that some videos do not allow embedding, click on the link for video instead for original.
