Good lord - Hooked on a Feeling is a very uncomfortable combination of easy listening and really really uneasy viewing...

Come to think of it, you could really say that about David Hasselhoff himself, too.

The continued fame of that man baffles me. Honestly, who picks up a Hasselhoff album and says to themselves "YES. I must own this man's voice."? It is a mystery.

jimmythefish, its actually called a recursion, check your URL. Though my brain was damaged by the incursion of the recursion into my brain. Again. In regards to watching a walking noid like Haselhoff sing or do anything? No thanks, like drugs, I just say no.

Random thoughts: * What the fuck happened to this man's eyes? * A back-and-forth song that tells a story with three chicks as back-up singers. Hmm. Hasslehoff is just like Ray Charles. But, you know, white. And lacking talent. * When did the KITT car get right-hand drive? Was it always like that? * Whole lotta Americana symbols for a video that'll play in Europe. Guess they don't hate us after all. Pity us, maybe. But no haters.

Hey, I wouldn't spend any money on him, but sometimes I like a guy who takes the piss out of himself (that is, in case my slang is incomprehensible, is willing to make fun of himself or let others do it.) lotta Americana symbols Really? What were they? Yeah, I got the Babewatch & Kit ones, but they were broadcast here too - more Hoff than US. US Flag - classic cliche and he wasn't exactly being serious in that shot. I guess Ayers Rock was a nod to Kangaroo Jack - which is using Australian icons to make an American movie, and this song is using a traditional Australian song to make an American video. It fits. In a sick and twisted way. Okay, excuse me, now I got to go wash my eyes out. The facelift on that guy is so tight that nothing moves except his jaw.

Did anyone else watch "The Making of Jump In My Car?" It's funny to see him take off and put on his reading glasses before/after each scene. I feel like the director/producer/whoever (blue/white stiped shirt, mustache) is thinking that he's finally made it to the top now that he's working with The Hoff. A girl I went to high school with taught his kids and said that she had a hard time keeping a straight face during parent-teacher conferences.

I suspect that he's becoming the next William Shatner. I suspect he wishes he was becoming the next William Shatner. He's not a good enough bad actor to pull it off, methinks. I love that he actually did the white-man's overbite during the... uh... dance sequence.

He's in the movie "Click" thats in theaters right now. It's fun cause he plays a part that fits him well, a dick-head guy. Its fun cause it's like he knows he's a love-to-hate him personality.

Stroke, his left eye is fucked, silly bastard put no cash aside for contingencies. With the facts available fucked up left side of the head, possibly elsewhere, and the fucker still working it like a pole-dancing-queen back to the street, the only answer is a stroke.

My friend told the story of seeing Tom Jones in Vegas. As she was watching him, I think he was singing "Sex Bomb", she noticed movement in her peripheral vision... David Hasselhof was there, in the audience! And he was dancing! And singing along! Suddenly, Tom Jones noticed the Hof! He came down off the stage, walking towards my friend and David Hasselhof! It was happening, right in front of her, Tom Jones and David Hasselhof, dancing together and singing "Sex Bomb"! This is a true story.
