Telstar it ain't.

It's hard to make out but I'm sure I heard 'Apache', originally recorded by The Shadows in the mix

Oh yes it is. Smile

Not the original.

It's played at a slower tempo.

Thanks for your help guys!
The version played in the video appears to be Sugarhill Gang Apache (Jump On It). A cover indeed.

Thanks again, Fred

Good grief. Not another one of these. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Whatever happened to class?

An abomination IMHO

Bring back Hank Marvin.

The genuine article from a truly great musician

The Ventures did a cover and had a small hit with Apache too.

Lets not forget the version by Ritchie Blackmore.

I accidentally watched this version

Then, in the suggestions list I noticed this video: It's the wrong tune, but luckily the dancing abilities have made some progress over the years.
