What was originally intended to be an online joke may actually become a reality - David Hasselhoff at No.1!
Yep, the Hoff is being tipped to top the UK pop charts over the coming weeks, without any radio play, promotion or even positive reviews.
The former Baywatch 'hunk' is the subject of a major internet campaign to propel his single to No.1. Emails have been sent to thousands of homes across the UK, reminding 75,000 registered punters that Hasselhoff's new single, Looking For Freedom is released Monday.
The site's creators told The Evening Standard: "We are not making any money from this. We are doing this purely from the good of our hearts. Think what he's given to the world. Knight Rider; Baywatch; the reunification of East and West Germany; untold laughter from forwarded emails of him in hotpants. It's time we gave something back. Let's get Hoff to No.1."
Looking For Freedom was a originally a No.1 hit in Germany and he famously performed it on the Berlin Wall to help locals 'celebrate' the end of communism. You can download the track from iTunes from Monday.
