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."?

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.

I love that he actually did the white-man's overbite during the... uh... dance sequence.

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.
