Hooked
on a Feeling
From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
"Hooked on a Feeling" is a 1969 pop song written by Mark James originally
performed by B. J. Thomas. Featuring the sound of the Electric Sitar, that version
reached number five in 1969 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1971, Jonathan King
produced his own version, adding the ooga chacka jungle chants from Johnny Preston's
"Running Bear." It was subsequently covered by Swedish pop group Blue
Swede in 1974. This version reached number one. It was covered again in 1997
by David Hasselhoff. The music video of the Hasselhoff version became an internet
phenomenon due to its surreal visuals and extremely poor production quality
along with the pop culture icon status that Hasselhoff has. Excerpts from the
Blue Swede version of the song were used as the audio that accompanied the "Dancing
Baby" Internet phenomenon of 1996-1997.
In a 1971 interview with song writer Mark James, he claimed to have penned
the lyrics after an especially intense LSD trip. The Hasselhoff music video
has seemingly captured the original "feeling" of "Hooked on
a Feeling" in more ways than one.
