| Song |
"Jump in My Car" is a single released by David Hasselhoff in 2006. The song was written by Australian singer, Ted Mulry and guitarist Les Hall, and was the first hit for the band, Ted Mulry Gang, in Australia in 1975. Ted was a British born singer/songwriter and guitarist who released his debut single in the UK under the name Steve Ryder, but it failed to chart. Ted's original "Jump In My Car" was number one in Australia in 1976 for six weeks. David Hasselhoff's version was released in Australia ahead of his first tour there, and was released on iTunes UK on October 2, 2006. On October 8, 2006 the song debuted at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.
It received publicity from the "Get Hasselhoff to Number 1" campaign which originally campaigned to get "Looking for Freedom" released but has since switched its attentions to "Jump in My Car". The song also received backing from BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills and The Sun newspaper.
The 1983 Pontiac Trans Am in the clip has been modified to look like KITT from Knight Rider. Most notably, due to being in Australia, the car was right hand drive.
The video was filmed in Glebe in Sydney, Australia.
Guitarist Chris Spedding released the song as a 45 (RAK 228) in January 1976. The song was also included on his self-titled album released the following April.
He also sang this song on an episode of the TV show America's Got Talent.
The video was number 2 in MAX music's World's Worst Ever Video countdown in 2008.
The original 1975 recording was sampled by TISM in their 1997 song There's Gonna Be Sex Tonite.
The song was a running gag on Quizmania when it was re-released in 2006.
