Don't let anybody fool you: this was actually a watered-down version of what Hasselhoff made for this video. The production budget was 3.4 trillion dollars.
I just now stumbled across this. How have I never seen this or heard of it before? It's the greatest thing that has ever existed. God bless the internet!
Some people really don't understand sarcasm/irony. On a completely unrelated note, it really is impressive that he did so much traveling for this video!
This video is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. No matter how many times I watching, I literally laugh out loud. And I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the song itself. I like it better than the original.
I cannot believe that I have found this video again. This was my absolute favourite video as a kid and now I feel so nostalgic and fulfilled! Thank you David Hasselhoff for creating the greatest video on youtube.
As kids we mimicked all the dance moves (including the flying flap scene) while dying of laughter. I still think this is one of the greatst music clips of all time.
Not long after I joined FB (12+ years ago) I saw someone post this video; I watched it, then I watched it again. Then I loathed myself. Today I was struck with the urge to watch again. And I’m good for another 12 years.
Your eyes must be absolute capital G Garbage if Hasslehoff was mangled and contorted in Bowie, but yes, damn right this is very superior to a David Bowie cover of Hooked on a Feeling
To all the 3787 people who gave a "thumbs down": Please keep in mind, that no special effects, or computer manipulation was used for this video. The Hoff did it all by himself... #dontHassleTheHoff
My life is now complete. I always liked this song but this here is something special y’all. I can never unsee this. WTF? Give me some of whatever he’s on. Exxcellent.
LOVE THE HOFF. And he still kicks ass to this day. Hell.. I'm 40 now, working out and he would still kick my ass in abs. But he keeps his fame for two reasons. One is because he has a good sense of humor about himself. Two, he is out there doing awesome 70s/80s retro parodies and serious music that we can't get enough of. Damn.
@@justinlanger7109 It's amazing. It's the only music video I know of that was filmed in one take by a pedestrian and uploaded without any editing. He was just walking by the Hoff and filmed this, then Hoff paid him for the rights to use the video. It's like the movie _Birdman_ combined with a nature documentary.
I don’t know about that sir. This year is a true classic. I don’t think it could’ve been done any better. I think it’s absolutely hysterically perfect just the way that it is.
Why I've never seen this masterpiece? Why masterpiece? Look, here's everything! Your favourite actor and singer from 80s and 90s, a solid bit, favourite song from 60s, best edit ever made...
Always loved this song both the blue suede version and this version and Im glad they left the ooga chaka chorus in there, that gives the song unique sing along character. This video might be the strangest ... yet funniest video Ive seen in a while, but it also makes you feel happy after watching it! Thats why I dig it !! David Hasselhoff has always been the coolest dude ever and he's still got it.
Literally my favourite video of all time. This cheers me up when I am down. Makes me laugh when I need it. Plus let's face it - it is catchy tune and he does a pretty good job singing it. The video is just so 👩🍳💋 perfect!
Almost every German I know worships this guy, he's like a god to them. Even the ones that deny it I just tease and say "just admit that he is your fuhrer" lol
