Get Ready to ROCK your body and ROLL your heart!!!!!
After reading some reviews in this forum I really understood the magnitude of the light and influence of the mighty Hasselhoff. He has changed the life of a variety of people around the world: old and young, men and women, cancer survivors and junkies, italian monks and iraqui insurgents, even the unforgeteable gay peruvian.
It's good to know that I'm not alone when I think It's amazing how a man can reach so many hearts and transform so many souls with his astonishing, yet sublime, voice, and the sincere charm of his fashion.
I can tell you this: It surely enhanced my life and yes, I have my own story to share, even though it may not be nearly as incredible as the ones I read.
My name is Ed Asno, and I'm an active member of The Richard Dean Anderson Fan Club; for those of you who dare not to know he is the man behind the superb MacGyver... my own personal TV GOD. (I used to be in the Geraldo Rivera Fan Club but I quit when I find out he had an affair with Bette Midler... but that is another story.)
Well, as you can imagine, with the kind of TV icons I just mentioned it's difficult for The Hoff to be the only master of the industry. For me he is on the Top 5 most influential men to ever touch the face of earth, but little did I know that it would become an unbeatable number 1. As you all come to realize, a true genius has the power to transcend other horizons like a shooting star in the sky. And oh boy, this is how I find it out how the "Knight Rider" did it:
Herbie, the president of the Fan Club, threw a party at his house to show us his new memorabilia collection: "TV's Little Men, Big Souls", dedicated to Paul Fusco, the man and mind behind ALF, and Gary Coleman, the charming and somehow cute Arnold in Different Strokes.
At 5pm all of us were wasted on a high of pop tarts and kool aid when Herbie decided to change our lives forever: He put his radio shack speakers to the ultimate test: The one and only Very Best of David Hasselhoff.
Well, my friends, I just can say that It blew me away!!! The songs, the rithyms, the melodies, the holy voice, the chest hair. All the party, and with "ALL" I mean ¡The four of us!, just got into an abstarct, almost hypnotic mode that I had never, ever, felt before. The air started to smell like roses, the lights went dim, and the rush, oh my gosh, the rush was like (and forget my french) an orgasm.
Since that day my mind hasn't stop repeating the celestial lyrics of the master piece, the opera prima, Hot Shot City:
"11 o'clock we are ready to rock,
11 o'clock yeah we are ready to rock!
Hot Shot City in a Saturday Night
We are gonna party down into the morning light!"
David Hassehoff may not be Richard Dean Anderson, Geraldo Rivera, not even Tony Danza, but he surely is the savior of the music industry, a man who truly dare to go where no other has gone.
Make you a favor: Buy this album and get ready to rock and roll!!!!
Rednecks love him too
Me and my man were cruising for a real romantic night on the town. We had left our 14 children with their grandfather, all though he has also a father to 2 of them...but thats another story. We headed to the local Walmart for our big date in our Chevy.
Had a little problem with opening the door cause Randy had padlocked it shut to keep the Racoons out of the door while it was in the trailer park. When we got to Walmart, Randy took me to the music counter for a big surprise. He had pre ordered a copy of David Hasselhoffs best of album. I was so excited I thought I would pee. Sadly, due to a little problem with Walmarts pre order system, they had forgotten to place it on their list and they had sold all 5 copies they had brought in within 2 months. I was devastated. However, Randy made it up to me by taking me to Dunkin donuts. It was the best night ever! I think I am now pregnant with my 15th child - who I am going to call David in honour of the Master!!! Hot Shot City is our theme song! Go the leather panted David!!
PS:Since I wrote this review I have given birth to a lovely little girl we honour with the name David.
Man or Superman?
When Nietzche posited this question, David Hasselhof wasn't even a zygote in his mother's ovaries. Following in the tradition of the great musical geniuses: Bach, Brian Wilson, Nik Kershaw and Michael Bolton - Hasselhoff nails his sails to the mast, puts his money in the ring and it's wrestling time.
I particularly like track 14, Hot Shot City a dynamic song. The lyric, an imagined romance between Kitt (the car from Knight Rider) and the "luscious Lancia" (from the film Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo), Hasselhof shows not just dynamic vocal range but an admirable grasp of the principles of the four-stroke internal combustion engine.
The Best Is Yet To Come is a Ronseal song, that does exactly what it says on the tin. It sets up an expectancy that lasts for the rest of this compilation.
"Je Taime Means I Love You" - Hasselhoff as language teacher? It could work. Before that I never understood what that Serge Gainsbourg was on about. Thanks Hassy.
"Flying On The Wings Of Tenderness" - I just love that image, I mean, what does tenderness look like? Magic. Hasselhoff as poet? Certainly.
"Du " disappoints slightly. I think it should be called "Du is the familiar second-person participle in German". Hasselhof as language teacher? Maybe he needs teacher training. Don't let this put you off. Buy this incredible CD.
