In 1949, a whole group of multi-talented stars moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Mando pop rose to prominence, rivalling the presence of Canto opera music and Canto pop in a short period of time. The young Wong Jum-sum frequented radio stations and recording studios with his harmonica band members, in that process encountered in person many of these Mando pop stars and maestros, including illustrious names like Li Xian-lan, Bai Guang, Yao li and Yao Min. He also regularly collaborated with Filipino musicians who once illuminated the nightclubs of Shanghai.

These stars and musicians created a reservoir of Mando pop songs in the 1950s. The latter formed an inexhaustible treasure trove for radio music program presenters of the time.

我愛恰恰 (1957)

作曲：姚敏
作詞：易文
主唱：葛蘭

我們歡歡喜喜一起上學校
我們高高興興一起做體操
鼓聲砰砰蓬蓬響
就搖搖擺擺跳
有誰不會我就來教

怪模樣不要笑不要笑
伊呀恰恰恰恰恰
大家跳別害躁別害躁
伊呀恰恰恰恰恰

你跳倫巴不時髦
你學森巴沒情調
只要你試一遭
就知道恰恰妙
跳恰恰多輕巧

你有清清楚楚伶俐的頭腦
你有結結實實靈活的身腰
請把拍子聽得準
把步子記得牢
你別害怕誰都能跳

快狐步太單調太單調
伊呀恰恰恰恰恰
圓步舞太古老太古老
伊呀恰恰恰恰恰

你跳倫巴不時髦
你學森巴沒情調
還不如曼波好
還不如恰恰妙
跳恰恰多輕巧

恰恰恰恰恰恰恰恰恰
伊呀恰恰恰恰恰
恰恰恰恰恰恰恰恰恰
伊呀恰恰恰恰恰

不怕你身體搖
只怕你不肯跳
跳恰恰多輕巧
