Mambo No. 5 isn't a cover. It's still by the original artist Lou Bega. It's just not the original recording that everyone's familar with. It's a re-recording but still with Lou Bega. It was likely cheaper for Ubisoft to license this version of the song. They did the same thing with I'm So Excited.

JD Summer Party did use a cover. JDN/JDU credit the cover "artist" but (perhaps accidentally) use the Lou Bega re-recording.
