Title: "Rainbow" in German

First time I'd heard the song in another language (wasn't even aware it was IN any other language) and I'm fascinated by how different yet similar it is. I'd have thought it'd just be dubbed over but it seems the music is slightly different, like it was redone. Doesn't seem like it was dubbed over in other languages of the movie though. Makes me wonder why this wasn't used in the German version of the movie.

This is a fan translation and fandub. It says so on the very video:

She edited some of the music to make the words fit better.

I am in favor of translating names and songs into the respective language but I guess Sia is too big of a name to erase her song from the movie and just do a translated version.
All other songs in the movie were dubbed of course.

Yeah, I found that out when the uploader replied. It's actually better I think than what it probably would've been anyway. Seems to be the way of it that everything in movies is dubbed in other languages EXCEPT the songs, which makes them out of place.

Hmm, seems it WAS dubbed in another language, albeit illegally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=7h28uH75Elc
