during these few days of joyous Chinese New Year celebrations, there’s a parody song circulating on Wechat about giving out ‘lai see’ (利是 red packets)

i couldn’t find the exact parody song but found an equivalent one for you guys. here it is ‘lai see’ version

梅艷芳 - 夢伴 Anita Mui (a 1985 classic, i only discovered this song and love it to bits, it’s very catchy)

the original. HK accent. good English translation here

over-exaggerated ‘mature’ version sang by 朱咪咪 (a regular actress in Stephen Chow movies)

slow acoustic melancholy version by 陈一发儿 (non-cantonese speaker). 2 guitars

modern version. sang very well by two Chinese girls. note their Guangzhou accents.

acoustic version. lovely cover ty a non-cantonese speaker

quite possible the best impersonation of Anita on stage. 江欣燕 Elvina Kong

sad acoustic version. cover by 李悅君

nice rocky version. cover by the talented 許靖韻. note her Hong Kong accent.
