Italian singer Bobby Solo recorded the song with Italian lyrics as "Una granita al limone" in 1968.[2]

Swedish singer Lill Lindfors released a Swedish version, "En man i byrån", with lyrics by Peter Himmelstrand in 1969.[3] With the song, she scored a Svensktoppen hit for 14 weeks between 7 December[4]-18 March 1970,[5] topping the chart. For many years, Lill Lindfors refused to perform the song, since many people thought of it as a dildo-metaphor.[6]

Swedish singer Agnetha Fältskog recorded the song with German lyrics as "Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche" and released it as a single on the West German market in 1970.
