Manhattan Transfer coverte das Lied im Jahr 1978. Der Autor James McCarraher schrieb über ihre Aufnahme: “On a Little Street in Singapore was not their biggest UK hit, that honour goes to Chanson d’Amour, but it is without doubt one of their most likeable and accesible recordings […].” „On a Little Street in Singapore war nicht ihr größter Hit in Großbritannien, diese Ehre geht an Chanson d’Amour, aber es ist ohne Zweifel einer ihrer sympathischsten und zugänglichsten Aufnahmen […].“ – James Mccarraher Tom Lord listet insgesamt 29 Coverversionen des Songs, u. a. auch von Bob Zurke, Gene Krupa, John Kirby, Mel Tormé, Alvino Rey, Harold Land, Wild Bill Davis, Max Kaminsky, in späteren Jahren noch von Keith Ingham.

- "On a Little Street in Singapore" is a jazz song written by Peter DeRose and Billy Hill. Though now obscure, it had some measure of popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, marked by a number of high-profile performances. Artists to cover the song included Frank Sinatra with Harry James, Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond, Glenn Miller, Bert Kaempfert, Jimmy Dorsey and most recently Bob Dylan. Manhattan Transfer covered it again in 1978. The music writer Will Friedwald places the song in a "long list of intercultural, interracial romances-that-can-never-be" likening the theme of the song to the "tragic mulatto syndrome" as identified by the film critic Donald Bogle. Friedwald categorises the song in this context with other Orientalist compositions such as "Poor Butterfly" and "Japanese Mammy". Patrick Burke discussed Charlie Shavers May 1940 recording of the song in his 2008 book Come In and Hear the Truth: Jazz and Race on 52nd Street writing that Shavers "evokes an exotic Orientalist atmosphere through the combination of an unusual melodic mode and a repeated figure in the bass and drums". The Glenn Miller Orchestra released "On a Little Street in Singapore" with a vocal by Ray Eberle in May 1944. Anticipating the end of the Second World War, Billboard wrote that Miller would be "the hottest thing in band fronting" and described the song as "good, if a little dated" but concluded that "with tune and Miller sizzling what more can be desired?". Reviewing Bob Dylan's album Fallen Angels which included the song, Michael Hann wrote in The Guardian that "On a Little Street in Singapore" was a "throwaway number" whose "strength is all in the melody" and lacked the "romantic profundity" of the other songs on the album. The British figure skaters Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean performed their ice dance routine in figure skating at the 1980 Winter Olympics to "On a Little Street in Singapore". (en)
