Hippy music video featuring terrible lip-synching and scantily-cladded women.
Tommy Seebach – Apache
That is Tommy Seebach (September 14, 1949 – March 31, 2003), born Tommy Seebach Mortensen in Copenhagen, Denmark, was a popular Danish singer, composer, organist, pianist and producer. He gained mainstream popularity in Denmark in 1965, when he became a member of the band Sir Henry And His Butlers, writing many of their most popular hits. In 1976 he emerged as a successful solo artist. His hit album “Tommygun” was released in 1977. At the same time he was in high demand as a producer at his record company EMI, where he was involved in projects for artists such as Lecia & Lucienne. Seebach’s problems with alcoholism took their toll on him and he died at the age of 53 from a heart attack at amusement park Bakken, where he was head of musical entertainment during the past several years.
The song he covered is Apache.
And someone commented on Wikipedia in the same article – Recently, people in the United States have rediscovered the promotional video for Seebach’s 1977 disco version of the Shadows’ hit “Apache,” in which he is seen prancing around the forest with female dancers and attempting to lip-synch. Youtube has been flooded with “Apache” remixes, merely type “Tommy Seebach Vs”.

This video is a great representation of what times were like back when hippies were prevalent in mainstream society. I enjoyed the music as well.
