David Hasselhoff for prez in 2016
Sean Daly just sent me this via interoffice mail. And no, thankfully this cover tune didn't really rock the charts back in the day.
TOP 5 CHARTING HASSELHOFF SINGLES:
5. IS EVERYBODY HAPPY (1989): "Forget your worries and any sorrow. We're gonna dance like there is no-no tomorrow!" [Video]
4. OUR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER (1989): "Doesn't it seem there's a spell falling over us tonight?" [Video]
3. CRAZY FOR YOU (1990): "I will write 'I love you' in the sand. We will wander hand in hand." [Video]
2. DO THE LIMBO DANCE (1991): "We can limbo on the sand to a steel drum band." [Video]
1. LOOKING FOR FREEDOM (1989): "When you realize the freedom money buys, you'll come running home some day." [Video]


Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.
E-mail Steve Spears:






The headline made me bust out laughing - didn't even read the article. HE would be perfect! He could have Bill Clinton as VP. They could eat cheesburgers together!

The Hoff must be chafing from the leather pants. He doesn't move from that one spot or stance.
The hair? I think we just found Sean Daly's inspiration for his own 'do.

A good choice, especially given his ability to sing in German (check out 'Du' on YouTube). He was gathering crowds of hundreds of thousands in Berlin decades before Obama!

The Hoff has ties to special intrests: Liquor stores. Being such a huge hit in Europe, I question his patriotism.
