Universally, I liked the '50s versions better. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the music on which I grew up.
I will point out, though, with the Del-Tones as an example, the more successful soloists and groups were those who looked like they actually were having fun with what they were doing, rather than just standing on the stage filling a square.
Uniting your themes of the last week, how about a Greek take on a lovely Scots song?

I'm so far out of pop culture that all I know is the original Heny Mancini. Ah, baby elephants and "Hatari"!

My personal fav is the original Henry Mancini version, but that may be because that's the score we played in band long ago and far away.
