The song was covered by Dutch Eurodance group Vengaboys in 2000. It remixes the song with typical Vengaboys synth and drum beats, although it keeps substantially the same tempo. It was released on 23 February 2000 and became another major hit for the band, topping the charts in New Zealand and Romania, and peaking within the top five in at least 10 other countries, including Australia, Germany, Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
The music video is modeled after the single cover. It takes place in a fictional Alpine bar named “Wurst & Women”. The video primarily focuses on lead vocalist Kim Sasabone performing the song. It features female dancers dressed in a skimped-up version of a dirndl and wearing blonde wigs in a double bun braid. Some men are dressed in lederhosen. After the second verse, the song pauses with a record scratch wherein the two male group members engage in a parody dance battle. The music video was banned by BBC.
