When music videos go awry

I loved Knight Rider as a child. I love Dodgeball as an adult (c'mon, you KNOW it was hilarious when Lance Armstrong makes his cameo). What do the two have in common? Mr. David Hasselhoff.
Who didn't laugh hysterically when Coach Hasselhoff dresses down his German team en Deustch after they lose to Joe's Gym in the Vegas rounds? And, when he smashed a framed picture of himself, causing the Germans to tear up, I said to myself, "Now THERE'S a man/actor who knows how to laugh at himself!"

And, so my love for the Knight Rider lived on. Unfortunately, while browsing through an acquaintance's blog, I found a disturbing chink in the Knight's armor. She had stumbled upon, and posted a link to, a video clip of David Hasselhoff singing "Hooked On a Feeling." While Mr. Hasselhoff seems to possess a fine singing voice, his agreement to participate in the antics portrayed in this music video raised many a question in my head, the first and foremost being, "What the hell was he thinking?!"

Prepare yourselves for Hasselhoff moves that include flying like a bird and taking a bite out of a large salmon, caught with his bare hands in an eskimo suit.

OMG this vid is SO FUNNY. It makes you realize that his part in Dodgeball was NOT merely a self-aware performance (in the vein of William Shatner) but rather his USUAL acting style. Frightening.

I only wish I could be as great someday...
