Gunfights? Kung fu? Dogs with lasers for eyeballs? Hitler? Dinosaurs?

Sure.

David Hasselhoff's latest music video, “True Survivor,” was released Thursday and features a strange, beautiful mix of 1980s themes -- from computer hackers on PCs to street riot sequences that would make Steven Seagal proud.

Ironically, none of these links work here in Germany:

Dieses Video ist in Deutschland leider nicht verfügbar, da es Musik enthalten könnte, über deren Verwendung wir uns mit der GEMA bisher nicht einigen konnten.

This video is unfortunately not available in Germany since it could contain music about the use of which we have not yet been able to reach an accord with GEMA (the German music royalties organization).

The 80s were kinda corny but we all felt safe enough to be silly because Reagan was watching over us.

Now, not so much.

“for some reason”?

LOL

[Salamander]

Look!

It’s career suicide!

What was he thinking?

Moral of the story: Only women can get away with prancing and writhing.

And pink shirts.

[Salamander]

Wow.

Sorry.

[Slings and Arrows]

Irony is so ironic.

I sometimes wish I were born 50 years earlier.

Saw it on “The Five” last night — got excited like a little girl! The 1980s are back!

[Chainmail]

80s ping.

[Yardstick]

LOL -- holy mackerel.

Yeah, what was he thinking??

Four minutes of him galavanting around like a 12 year old girl, basically.

It's pretty wild to think that there was a time when something like this was within the realm of possibility.

Something tells me that Hasselhoff didn’t do the vocals on that song, somebody else did.........

In the video line up under that link was..................................Aldo Nova.
It has been a long time since I heard that.

I remember cruzing the square in Bolivar and Kearny street in Springfield with my cousin listening to that song.

[Alas Babylon!]

Hoff didn’t do the vocals?!?!

Hey, he’s a very gifted singer in Germany. Why his singing career never hit it off here like it did there is a question for the ages!

I ask myself this question every few weeks...

[Leep]

Ich bin so verwirrt,

[Hot Tabasco]

Hoff didn’t do the vocals?!?!

That was my theory, I never knew he was actually a singer until you just pointed it out........

[SunkenCiv]

:’) No slow-mo beach babes? This is some BS. ;’)

[Daffynition]

Ahhhhhhhh...the Hofff..........

[Trillian]

We saw this in a movie the other night and couldn't stop laughing..
David Hasselhoff DU

[Slings and Arrows]
