Nothing was (or is) ever sacred in South Africa as far as music goes. Here is a 1960s recording of Niek Potgieter and his concertina trying his best to outdo Elvis -- with a Boeremusiek rendition of "Wooden Heart" (Muss I Denn).

Boeremusiek (Afrikaans for 'Boer music') is a type of South African instrumental folk music with a concertina as lead instrument. Its original intent was to be an accompaniment to social dancing.
