Simon LeBon later performed the song with Luciano Pavarotti at a WarChild benefit. The performance featured new lyrics in Italian, written especially for the show by producer Michele Centonze, most of which were a very free adaption (rather than a translation) of LeBon's original lyrics; the title "Ordinary World" was rendered as "mondo umile", i.e. "humble world". The duet, along with the whole show, was released on home video as "Pavarotti & Friends: Together for the Children of Bosnia". Later on, in an interview featured on the DVD release of the show, LeBon stated that he loved singing in Italian because of the very open vowel sounds in the language.
