The Hoff’s Pingu song


David Hasselhoff recorded a song for the animated children’s series “Pingu.” We have multiple Pingu tapes in our house and Pingu competes with Bob the Builder for my son’s favorite show. The Sun is there with a recording of the song, which was released only in Switzerland:

Ex-Baywatch star Hoff made a dreadful song with Swiss animated kids’ character PINGU in 1989.

He may not have got a No1 but I’m sure he has the distinction of being the only man to record a song with a model penguin.

Pingu Dance was released only in Switzerland (thank goodness).

Here are some choice lyrics:
“Now we make look different but we’re all the same, just different bodies with different names.
We all have mommies and we all have dads. Sometimes we’re happy, sometimes we’re sad.
But if you smile and dance with me, you’ll be happy just wait and see.
Stamp your feet and turn around. Reach for the sky, now touch the ground.”

You can hear the song over at The Sun. It’s the real Pingu theme song with the Hoff “rapping” over it.

In case you’ve never seen Pingu, it’s a claymation series with little penguins talking gibberish, and it’s rather cute. (The introduction is in German, but you don’t need to understand it.)

And here’s the Hoff’s video for his new single “Get into my Car,” which is supposed to be big in Europe:

All that work making mock-worthy music has left The Hoff exhausted. He fell asleep this week while on a brief break during an interview on British television.

Thanks to Fark for these Hoff links.
