OK, I have to post something about this rediculous video… It has been floating around the net since January but no one seemed to notice it since it was released by… well… David Hasselhoff.

The video, Jump In My Car, became popular about the same time people in Miami were foraging for David Hasselhoff media to use against Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki during the NBA championship games. It all started when Dirk let it be known that he sometimes hummed a David Hasselhoff tune in his head before free-throws.

Miami passed out David Hasselhoff pictures on a stick to thwart Dirk’s free-throwing ability. But someone must have come across this video and blogged about it somewhere prominent (like RhinosGirls.com?).

The song is a cover of the Ted Mulry Gang’s song of the same name produced in 1975. Ted and his gang made it a number one hit in Australia. David did a tour in Australia from mid-February to early-March. Obviously chicks in Australia have a keen sense of what is cool! [laughs]…
