Popular Kickstarter film Kung Fury was released on YouTube last night, and seems to be taking the internet by storm with it's epic action scenes and throwback setting. The theme song for the film was released shortly before on April 16th, 2015, and performed by none other than David Hasselhoff.
Since it's release, the video has already gathered 11,000,000+ hits, and is considered by some to be one of the greatest 80's song ever written. It encompasses everything of the 80's action; from car flipping, to dinosaur riding, and even kick some major Nazi ass! Check it out below if you don't believe me.
Not too shabby eh? I have probably watched this about a dozen times since last night (after watching the film) and will likely listen to this track a few more times before the day is done. I am not sure why, other than the fact you really shouldn't Hassle the Hoff...plain and simple.
So how could this get any more epic?
Well, my love of rock/metal came into play for the second half of this post. A duo by the name of Vale and Rocco posted a video on April 24th adding their own signature touch to the song with some shredding, and a great set of vocals (in my opinion). Check it out below, and remember to be a True Survivor!
Mmmmm, interesting. I didn't know that David did the title song. Good for him. Being a fan of David's and of course Baywatch, I did know he was a singer. He did some vocals during the Baywatch series, and they even made reference to it, in parody of course. He was most popular in the 80's and 90's in Europe, mainly Germany. But if you look at the video they did a great job with not only the look but definetley the music. Straight out of the 80's. Which is amazing. And fantastic getting the Hoff to do it too. Even though the movie itself is not my cup of tea I do like the song, very catchy indeed. :)
