"Camel by Camel" is a song recorded by Croatian singer Sandy Marton.

Usage in media

The song is most infamous for its use in a pornographic animated video featuring Ankha from the Nintendo video game series Animal Crossing, with the song playing throughout the whole video. The video was then cropped and used as an "if you know, you know" style of Internet meme, with people playing along with the joke, saying that she was just dancing.^[1]
