Another Mrs. Spielberg found her way onto a movie soundtrack when Kate Capshaw did a Mandarin version of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" in Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom
. (Love the dress!) There seems to be some discrepancy about whether or not she's dubbed, but a little research soon proved fruitful. Apparently, the translation goes something like this:

Yi wang si-i wa ye kan dao
Xin li bian yao la jing bao jin tian zhi Dao

Anything goes!
But, also apparently, her pronunciation isn't the best. To quote a recent Yahoo! message board:
I just listened to it but had you not mentioned chinese I would have thought she was singing gibberish. I can't recognize anything at all. :\ (Source: Native Chinese)
