The version above is a playful cover of the song. Listen to the original version of the song. Notice the word 掉 deu6 is pronounced as diu6 in the original version (1:18). The pronunciation diu6 is usually used in singing, whereas the pronunciation deu6 is more often heard in conversations only, which creates a special effect when deu6 is sung in the cover above.
