In 1998 Kikki Danielsson recorded the song together with [[Dr. Alban]], with lyrics in [[English language|English]] written by Dr. Alban, and released it on the [[single (music)|single]] ''Dr. Alban vs. Kikki Danielsson - Papaya Coconut (Come Along)'', which was released on September 21, September 1998. The music was re-arranged from classical Svensktoppen pop to [[Eurodance]], and for that reason more like a Dr. Alban song than a Kikki Danielsson song. The single peaked at #22 at the Swedish singles chart. This version was also included as the last track on the 1999 [[Kjell Roos Band|Kikki Danielssons orkester]] album ''[[Dagar som kommer och går]]''.
