h2. About
On YouTube, <strong>Apache</strong> commonly refers to the Danish singer Tommy Seebach's[1] 1976 rendition of the original composition by Jerry Jordan (see below). The music video--featuring Seebach and his band having a good time with a group of tribal-clothed babes--first came to the spotlight at the Fantasia Film Festival in 2006[2], when "DJ XL5": dubbed Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up (watch on "video gallerygalary":http://knowyourmeme.com/videos/26627) over the original M/V footage.[3] The dub was a success and soon enough, remixes and dubbed renditions of Apache music video took on a life of its own on YouTube.
