Don't let anybody fool you: this was actually a watered-down version of what Hasselhoff made for this video. The production budget was 3.4 trillion dollars.
I just now stumbled across this. How have I never seen this or heard of it before? It's the greatest thing that has ever existed. God bless the internet!
Some people really don't understand sarcasm/irony. On a completely unrelated note, it really is impressive that he did so much traveling for this video!
This video is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. No matter how many times I watching, I literally laugh out loud. And I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the song itself. I like it better than the original.
I cannot believe that I have found this video again. This was my absolute favourite video as a kid and now I feel so nostalgic and fulfilled! Thank you David Hasselhoff for creating the greatest video on youtube.
@@justinlanger7109 It's amazing. It's the only music video I know of that was filmed in one take by a pedestrian and uploaded without any editing. He was just walking by the Hoff and filmed this, then Hoff paid him for the rights to use the video. It's like the movie _Birdman_ combined with a nature documentary.
I don’t know about that sir. This year is a true classic. I don’t think it could’ve been done any better. I think it’s absolutely hysterically perfect just the way that it is.
LOVE THE HOFF. And he still kicks ass to this day. Hell.. I'm 40 now, working out and he would still kick my ass in abs. But he keeps his fame for two reasons. One is because he has a good sense of humor about himself. Two, he is out there doing awesome 70s/80s retro parodies and serious music that we can't get enough of. Damn.
Not long after I joined FB (12+ years ago) I saw someone post this video; I watched it, then I watched it again. Then I loathed myself. Today I was struck with the urge to watch again. And I’m good for another 12 years.
As kids we mimicked all the dance moves (including the flying flap scene) while dying of laughter. I still think this is one of the greatst music clips of all time.
Your eyes must be absolute capital G Garbage if Hasslehoff was mangled and contorted in Bowie, but yes, damn right this is very superior to a David Bowie cover of Hooked on a Feeling
Always loved this song both the blue suede version and this version and Im glad they left the ooga chaka chorus in there, that gives the song unique sing along character. This video might be the strangest ... yet funniest video Ive seen in a while, but it also makes you feel happy after watching it! Thats why I dig it !! David Hasselhoff has always been the coolest dude ever and he's still got it.
To all the 3787 people who gave a "thumbs down": Please keep in mind, that no special effects, or computer manipulation was used for this video. The Hoff did it all by himself... #dontHassleTheHoff
My life is now complete. I always liked this song but this here is something special y’all. I can never unsee this. WTF? Give me some of whatever he’s on. Exxcellent.
Why I've never seen this masterpiece? Why masterpiece? Look, here's everything! Your favourite actor and singer from 80s and 90s, a solid bit, favourite song from 60s, best edit ever made...

This isn't green screen. The Hoff was just so powerful at the time, reality refused to function around him
I'm pretty sure he got a hold of the power infinity stone at the time......and maybe the reality stone as well...
Finally someone tells the truth about The Hoff.
@@abigail4759 trueeee
He was the master of time dilation too.
Reality shouldn't have tried to hassle the Hoff
This is one of the music videos of all time.
This is THE best music video of all time
OMG This is hilarious. Did Hoff look at the final edit, and say, "Yeah. This is exactly what I wanted."
+TheSuburban15 he probably did it deliberatley in order to convey a point about the music/video industry perhaps...
+TheSuburban15 The result is exactly how he envisioned it.
He was probably slightly less drunk than the cheeseburger scene.
It was a very different time lol
Maybe he's RIck Rolling us.
I honestly can't hate this video; it's like we, as the human race, haven't evolved enough to appreciate it in all it's glory.
It's absolutely appalling. Get off the drugs.
😂
The fact that this has been uploaded only in 240p acutally benefits the quality of that video.
When I first saw this 240p was all youtube could do, and it took an hour to load. Worth the wait.
a e s t h e t i c
Sorry I just ruined the 240 likes for the 240p comment!
I need to come here every year to make sure this treasure never disappears. How much joy it brings..
first time i've seen this since 2006 and boy, did it put a smile on my face.
🐾atively!
If you look really closely, it's actually a greenscreen. He's not actually doing a lot of the things he seems to be doing
LOL
***** It's a lie. Everything you are looking at actually happened. Especially the motorcycle that moves without rotating its wheels.
No shit sherlock...
Oh.. I thought it was real... I'm disappointed
Fuck you. It's the Hoff we're talking about here. That shit's real yo.
Don't let anybody fool you: this was actually a watered-down version of what Hasselhoff made for this video. The production budget was 3.4 trillion dollars.
You are dim
No he’s right. The production value was insane.
@Yeah No No, not dim. SimKim. I understand the confusion, as they rhyme.
I have to look for the original video! Thanks
Contrary to popular belief, there are no special effects of any kind in this music video.
You think.
Well a little known fact is that some of the things weren't real but like 97% of it is
I'll agree that there are...effects...
IllogicalAssertations I read that article. It’s pure Hasselhoff.
David Hasselhoff is more powerful than shaggy
I just got told that this exists, my life is complete, finaly
jaja
Which drug is this ?
Damn buddy i feel you so much
I'm late to the party too.
Right? My life is now complete. I can never unsee this. WTF? 🤣
Director: "David hasselhoff, how much effects do you want?"
David Hasselhoff: Yes
I started choking cause I was laughing so hard 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All of them
@@alexjacob3735 Me too! See my comment above under username Gigi. OMG this video......LMFAO!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:24 - Two Hoffs singing at once! I wasn't prepared for this kind of greatness!
One way or another, no matter how the years pass, I always find my way back to this song and this video... and this feeling.
I'm hooked.
Looks like you are hooked on this feeling 😏
You can’t escape the feeling
Same!
You can't escape the Hoff@@akmedullahazebashani9247
I just now stumbled across this. How have I never seen this or heard of it before? It's the greatest thing that has ever existed. God bless the internet!
For a music video this must have had a big budget to have Hasslehoff visit all those places!
It is a greenscreen
+M M r u stupid? he's obviously right there if you look properly. don't treat me like a fool m8
+Aleksandar Pavlovic Who r u talking to? Because I'm 251% right!
For most parts, green screen was used. In other parts, he visited the places.
Some people really don't understand sarcasm/irony. On a completely unrelated note, it really is impressive that he did so much traveling for this video!
You can´t edit a music video on Paint.
David Hasselhoff: Hold my beer....
Hold my cheeseburger*
*hold my frankfu... Ok, never mind.
Sniffing Paint or Microsoft?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You misspelled cheeseburger
What a voice.....
Ha
David hasselhoff songs
I agree would love to see him in concert. Have you before?
Nice one Hoff.
Awesome HOFF
Anyone just really happy that this exists?
Yep
Yup
yes germany

Yes
i want this played at my funeral. the video not the song
Me too man, me too.
No song no video! ;)
Bro FAX
Yesss same
I want david hasselhoff at my funeral
12 years later and I still smile every time I see this classic jam I always smile
After seeing David in GOTG VOL. 2, this video all makes sense to me now.
A truly epic music video.
This video is like abstract art.
Fredrik Ljungkvist Abstract Art? So something you have no idea what the hell it is but it intrigues you?
Fredrik Ljungkvist damn u wrote this 3 years ago! U still on this acc?
I am german.
It's in my genes to love David Hasselhoff! 🇩🇪🦄🍒🍻
Whoever directed this video was a genius. This is one fine piece of art.
Kids today with their techno music...You should enjoy the classics! Like Hasselhoff!
I can't even take you seriously right now
>classic
What is love By: Hadaway
+Cool Knight hey there's supposed to be another d in there.
that's what she said.
Haywyre - Smooth Criminal. There's your techno and 80s shit.
I remember seeing this 14 years ago on youtube,...its aged gracefully.
I had no idea until I watched this video that I do drugs.
Frankincensed. cop's took me in and made me watch this to convince me I was I was doing drugs. It worked
This comment is still perfect 2 years later...congratulations
Nice pp btw just saying
Wanted to like, but didn't want to mess up the "420". Tegridy.
I'm high on believing … :)
2:18
David watch out behind you!!! Oh my god he can't hear us he's too hooked on a feeling
Is it only me or is this the best thing ive ever seen
The incredible effects still hold up to this day! Seamless!
😂
This is pure gold and hands down the best thing I've ever seen.
This video is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. No matter how many times I watching, I literally laugh out loud. And I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the song itself. I like it better than the original.
how to master a green screen
+Felicia Elm, I don't think he's quite mastered it yet ...
+DarthAverage of course he has, this is gold
+Fee/ Finn Your joking right. Because if you are that is a funny joke.
wait what... this shit ain't for real? :O
+Quest No way... That part with the motorcycle has to be real.
Great voice. Handsome man.
Sense of humor.
What's not to love! ❤
David actually looks mighty fine in this video... 🖤💜🖤💜🖤
I cannot believe that I have found this video again. This was my absolute favourite video as a kid and now I feel so nostalgic and fulfilled! Thank you David Hasselhoff for creating the greatest video on youtube.
My eyes will never forget the beautiful masterpiece I have just witnessed.
There is nothing on this earth that I want more than all of the unaltered green screen footage used to make this video.
hell. yes.
The day I discovered David Hasselhoff's incredible music, my life changed forever!
You just can't unsee this video.
And you keep coming back to watch again.
this is the best music video of all time.
Dang straight.
This is the best music video I have ever seen. Thanks you, David - you are humanity's greatest treasure.

this is officially my favourite video on the world wide web
There can be no doubt this is the greatest music video ever committed to tape.
DAVID HASSELHOFF NUMBER 1... I NUMBER 1 HASSELHOFF FAN... HE SO DREAMY... BEST MUSIC SONG EVER.. SO T OUCHING AND EVOKING MANY EMOTION....... 5/5
You must be German, am I right?
Chris Dynamo
what a shame ...
Please tell me you're joking..
I cried with laughter when he did a flip over the mountain
+Mikael Parrilla Yeah, that reason is he's the one singing
imagine having earphones on and everyone looking at you weird. yes that's me lol
+Charlie Nicklin Flying on the clearly unmoving bike while a serial killer hopped in and out of the picture did it for me.
This is an example of "I have a friend who can do the video and is cheaper"
Mom I want professional video production!
Mom: We have video production at home
Video production at home:
Thank God for that.
I suspect he was dinking around with grandkids.

I don’t know about that sir. This year is a true classic. I don’t think it could’ve been done any better. I think it’s absolutely hysterically perfect just the way that it is.
Me at the beginning: This video is quite weird
Me a few minutes later: I f*cking love it!
😂 yes! 😂
The memes before the memes

so funny
@MrSlaide YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG GANG
MrSlaide agreed

Someone has a crush on the hoff ;)
10/10 editting.
Tis why its 10/10
+Dario Schröter There is no greenscreen. All the stuff Hoff is doing in the video is real!!!!! :D
+Rctive Video Toaster :)
+Rctive - IGN.
+Rctive the greenscreen is the best
david deveria ganhar o troféu do homem mais bonito do mundo ❤️🌹
How can anybody dislike this? Thos people have never seen true art. This video deserves more attention. It's a gem!
Guardians of the Galaxy VII looks great

He’ll need to change his name to Zardu Hasslefroff first...
You better know the original is with Björn Skiffs, I hope :)
@@DMoberg r/wooosh
Ha ha, when I saw Guardians for the first time I was getting odd reactions from the audience for laughing when this song came on.
This is the best music video in existence and you can't tell me otherwise.
Not long after I joined FB (12+ years ago) I saw someone post this video; I watched it, then I watched it again. Then I loathed myself. Today I was struck with the urge to watch again. And I’m good for another 12 years.
This video is aging like fine wine!
When you get a green screen for your birthday.
Reinhardt: Kids today with techno music. You should enjoy the classics, like Hasselhof!
I had to see what music a giant German knight tank would listen to.
I can't even take you seriously right now
Kid/teen here, sup ;)
Star Lord approves too !
+commendedkid09
You'll be like 600 years old or some shit by the time Reinhardt's listening to this, you're no kid.
Grandes recuerdos David, enorme crack, series brutales. un abrazo David. y gracias por tu carrera
As kids we mimicked all the dance moves (including the flying flap scene) while dying of laughter.
I still think this is one of the greatst music clips of all time.
Misread the title as David Bowie covering Hooked on a Feeling, but this is infinitely superior
Your eyes must be absolute capital G Garbage if Hasslehoff was mangled and contorted in Bowie, but yes, damn right this is very superior to a David Bowie cover of Hooked on a Feeling

David Hasselhoff has always been the coolest dude ever and he's still got it.

Same. I ain't even mad.
To jest klip o który nikt nie prosił a każdy z nas go potrzebuje.
oj tak byczq +1
This might be the best video on RUclips.
First video I saw on youtube, same music video but different upload in 2005. You never forget a video like this.
Possibly the greatest music video ever!
I feel like creed Bratton from the office was the producer for this.
I love it
this is so incredibly accurate
I think this has just become one of my guilty pleasures.
I dont need weed to see interesting things
WHY DO DRUGS WHEN YOU'RE HIGH ON LIFE

This video is like Interstellar, a lot of shit happens that you can't explain.

Every year I watch this I become equally more weirded out and also impressed. The year is 2024.
Could be in the conversation for best music video of all time.
Best "Music Video Conversation" of all time
I literally send people to this to make them feel better. Every time I watch this I smile

HAHAHAH
The budget for this video was actually $4 million.
Worth it.
Wow these effects are simply stunning. I can't how phenomenal the special effects are in this music video.
David hasselhoff has an aura that is unmatchable
This song inspire me to be a better person.
I'm in the drunk area of RUclips again.
it's funny because the Hoff had an alcohol addiction!
i think its more than just alcohol kiwii
Hello? I seem to have lost my way... David Hasselhoff flying............
Same
You're implying there's a sober area of RUclips?
Man,every year I have to revisit this absolutely classic. And Tommy Wiseau is jealous of that green screen! "Oh HAI, Kitt!".
The best video in the RUclips history.
I believe in a timeline long enough, this video will be featured in a museum
Director "fine we can sneak a dachshund some where in the back"
Hoff "No, three giant doggos in the foreground".
Thanks gavin for not knowing this video so I can be reminded to watch it again
David Hasselhoff, a German Hero who ended the Cold War.
Skvělá vzpomínka na 90' léta...video sice nepovedené, je poznat, že David stojí ve studiu.
I don't know what they were on when they made this, but I want some. I mean this guy is obviously high on more than just "believing."
booze, and -maybe- _probably_ cocaine
