David Hasselhoff: Multimedia Star
The first time I clicked on the "Hooked on a Feeling" video, I had no idea what I was in for. It starts with the words "hooga hooga ooga chakka" flashing on the screen, but don't let the slightly lame beginning scare you away. Moments later Hasselhoff appears. He's at a fancy party, dressed in a tuxedo, and singing his heart out. But what's this? Now he's in a polar bear suit, in a snowy, arctic location. And now he's in some tropical wilderness, dressed like Indiana Jones. Oh my god, he seems to be flying with a flock of birds and two little girls dressed like angels! I kid you not. This video had me astonished, which after years of MTV-viewing is quite a feat. In my favorite part of the video, Hasselhoff sings "I'm high on believing that you're in love with me," while standing on a moving motorcycle. He then leaps off of it to fly Superman-style through the sky. If Hasselhoff is saying this is how it feels to be in love, then I've sure never been there. I want to feel what he's feeling!
Highlights of Hasselhoff's Baywatch career are also included in the multimedia section. Almost like a music video itself, this collection of clips is set to Baywatch theme song "I'll be Ready." So if you're feeling nostalgic for the good old days before Hasselhoff died in that underwater explosion, this is another chance to watch him in lifesaving action. But if you only have the time to watch one thing on the multimedia page, make sure you get a look at the "Hooked on a Feeling" video. Before you know it, you'll be hooked on Hasselhoff! --Lisa Beebe Or go straight to his multimedia page. |
