Back in the day, the only versions I saw were the original from the movie (Flower Drum Song) and the film footage that was sold to an extended Kotex commercial that was shown in school as the major component of what was called girls' Sex Education. It explained practically nothing about actual sex, but a great deal about menstruation and what we had to purchase to deal with it.

I hated that song and every stereotype it stood for. Almost as much as 'Chicken Fat', for which I will never forgive Robert Preston.

This is actually fun.
