Ken and I have an ongoing conversation about the joys of living in a Hasselhoffocracy, so it’s fitting that he’s the one who introduced me to this masterful remake of Hooked On a Feeling. It’s mildly frightening, but if you can make it to the two-thirds point, you too can seriously wonder if he saw this “video” before it was “released.” David! Step away from the blue screen, buddy. You’re embarrassing even the Baywatch fans.
You should experience it for yourself, but in case you can’t handle the truth, highlights include Hoff snowboarding in a white fur suit on a toboggan (at one point with a big-ass fish in his mouth that someone has just, inexplicably, tossed him), dancing bears, an alien and a safari (?) with weiner dogs and two little floating angel girls (who have wings but flap their hands occasionally, looking confused). And don’t even get me started on the pumping hand and hip gestures. Or the standing on water. When Ken was showing it to me, he kept saying, “Wait. It gets weirder.” He was never wrong.
But be warned: it’s 211 seconds you’ll never get back (assuming you only watch it once, I’ve sat through it three times now and not even made a dent in the disbelief) and the song will be stuck in your head for weeks.
