LEAVENWORTH, Wash. (AP) -- Tourism promoters in Leavenworth say they have a hit with a sexy YouTube video showing dancing girls, a Nutracker figure and scenes from the Bavarian-themed North Cascades town.

The video has racked up more than 80,000 views as of Wednesday.

The Wenatchee World reports the hip-hop spoof cost the Leavenworth Area Promotions board only $11,000. The "Gitcha Goomsba Up" music video was produced by Howell at the Moon Productions.

Not everyone in town is pleased with the portrayal of their community. Mayor Rob Eaton says he has heard some complaints from people asking why the city is being portrayed like a spring break destination.
