My big sister was the biggest Hasselhoff Fan EVER. I grew up with "I am looking for freedom" blasting in the background. But: Back then, my English skills were limited to "Vats ju näm? Mei näm is Judith." So... Let& #39;s check out what he actually was singing ABOUT.... Wish me luck! https://twitter.com/geiwi_UDE/status/1312081857819955200">https://twitter.com/geiwi_UDE...

Okay.... If you close your eyes, it isn& #39;t worse than much of the rest of the 80ies.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdKVX45wYeQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I would make disparaging jokes about my sister hurrying home from mass on Saturday evenings in order not to miss the beginning of Baywatch.
But then, I REALLY though Wesley Crusher was the coolest guy on TV, so...

And if you wonder where all the David Hasselhoff references are coming from today: Tomorrow is "Tag der Einheit", and Hasselhoff& #39;s song has deep associations with reunification. E.g. check out his performance at Berlin& #39;s New Year& #39;s Eve party 1989. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zXiClnK8oE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

And if a double dose of David Hasselhoff isn& #39;t cheesy enough for you, you can alway top it off with The Scorpions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4RjJKxsamQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

"Wind of change" is about perestroika & the end of the cold war, rather than about reunification specifically. But in memory, these two end up mixed up.
