The part with Hasslhoff is from the music video of his cover of "Hooked on a Feeling."

Probably the most WTF thing he's ever done.

I remembered the silly video, but not this piece of ???. WTF is OOGA CHAKKA? It doesn't fit in ANY way with the song.

Sometimes I wonder if he's doing it on purpose. Nobody can be this... BAD.

And by the way, if you ever liked Baywatch as a kid please go back and watch it now. Without the teenage hormones sending "eheh bewbs" to your brain you can clearly see that the show is not that dissimilar to this music video.

[–]aJuJuBeast 6 points7 points ago

I loathe the OOGA CHAKKA, but it wasn't originally Hoff's idea. Apparently Jonathan King added the chant first, then Blue Swede copied it, and of course Hasselhoff had to carry on tradition... Also, Offspring samples the "ooga chakka" in their song "Special Delivery".

Source is obviously Wikipedia, with the best line: "This song was later covered by David Hasselhoff with a music video featuring him flying in the air and fist pumping."

[–]Red_Woody 1 point2 points ago

Wasn't it also used on Ally Mcbeal?

[–]aJuJuBeast 1 point2 points ago

Yes. Wikipedia confirms.

[–]Kativla 0 points1 point ago

Yep, whenever that freaky dancing baby showed up.

[–]cannedmath 1 point2 points ago

Most wtf thing I've seen on the internet!

For the first time I feel ashamed!

[–]AcidFiend 1 point2 points ago

I just assumed that that was Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

[–]Silverbug 7 points8 points ago

The Germans LOVE David Hasselhoff. I could never figure out the need for so many dachshunds in that video.

[–]kielrene 4 points5 points ago

The Germans LOVE David Hasselhoff

If you believe that, you don't know much about Germans.

[–]black27696 5 points6 points ago

Germans did love him, now he's kinda like chuck norris over there. It's joke that's really overstayed it's welcome.

[–]kielrene 3 points4 points ago

There was a very brief period during the late 80s where he was popular among children because of Knight Rider. And he had this one hit single "Looking for Freedom". But really, that was all the success he had in Germany. He then went on to participate in rather ridiculous German pop music shows, but at this point nobody was taking him seriously anymore. No idea where Americans got the idea that he ever was or even still is 'loved' by the German audience in general.

[–]steve_b 3 points4 points ago

I think because he kept recording albums that nobody but the Germans were buying. Of course, that didn't mean that the majority of Germans liked him, but it seemed to be German fans that were keeping his singing career alive.

[–]JoshSN 0 points1 point ago

Well, after he does something like this, I can see why.

[–]Silverbug 0 points1 point ago

It's from SNL.

[–]AliasJesus 0 points1 point ago

Right? That and the creepy mask thing.

[–]bertbargo 0 points1 point ago

It's no wonder that man is an angry alcoholic

[–]whimsicalsteve 0 points1 point ago

ooooh, I thought they were making a Steven Seagal (seagul) joke.

[–]petenu 0 points1 point ago

Hasselhoff?!!? Shit, I thought it was Ryan Stiles.

[–]paigecatherine 15 points16 points ago

Go Go Gryffindor!

[–]rmhawesome 3 points4 points ago

I was thinking "CALLING ALL GRYFFINDORS! PREPARE YOURSELF, FOR THE HASSELHOFF IS HERE"

[–]Infideon 21 points22 points ago

Its the PI Song! The Pi Song

[–]babyzeeps 4 points5 points ago

Oh man I love that song. I definitely went through a phase where I listened to it on repeat for days.

[–]ifjake 0 points1 point ago

yep. right there with ya.

[–]BuzzBadpants 0 points1 point ago

Definitely watched it all day yesterday for pi day

[–]Jagjamin 3 points4 points ago

Not Pie, Pi!

[–]Todomanna 2 points3 points ago

That kid seemed so disappointed.

[–]daybreaker 5 points6 points ago

By Hard n Phirm a comedy duo of Chris Hardwick and Mike Phirman

[–]PixonNixonIxon 2 points3 points ago

Goddamnit, they killed Steve! All he ever wanted was some pie :(

[–]vegeneric 1 point2 points ago

best pi-related thing i saw all day. thank you sir or madam.

[–]trevdak2 0 points1 point ago

Just having that song on my playlist for a couple of years helped me memorize the first 130 digits of pi.

[–]rudezombie 0 points1 point ago

The part near the end where they monotonously drone out all the numbers was my ringtone for a while. I always like to make sure everybody around me is as irritated as possible whenever my phone rings.

[–]Ram1r3z 0 points1 point ago

Dafuq?

[–]icemopper 1 point2 points ago

Don't worry, it is satire. Or something like it.

[–]J-Hizzy 4 points5 points ago

[–]WeekendWarrior25 4 points5 points ago

Could they only afford 1 shirt and the kids had to share it?

[–]AxelPrime 4 points5 points ago

[–]jdarp1984 0 points1 point ago
