Haha,
I've named my Five-a-side football team 'The Hoffs' and we're going to play in yellow tops / Red Shorts
trying to get hold of some of those red things too!

On First viewing this looks funny but think about it ????
He may actually get air play and some record company might spend money on promotion (think of pete waterman and the birdie song) and soon you might not be able to turn a radio on for fear you have to listen to a few seconds of this dreadful little dirge that unfathomably excites the germans.

Just had this email....
Yes! It's what you've all been waiting for...The Hoff Alert - It is time to buy 'Jump In My Car'. It seems a long time ago we set this site up. Possibly it seems a long time since you signed up.
Months have passed, much has happened, but now, it is time for something wondrous to occur. Time that this miraculous event should come to pass.
Time for us to go out unto the world and buy the Hoff.
Go out and buy 'Jump In My Car', a delightful ode to highway harassment, a gleeful celebration of the joys of luring unsuspecting women into your talking lovewagon. Truly, a stranger danger masterpiece (told from the stranger's point of view).
The last time the Hoff motivated people like this, the Berlin Wall came down. Who knows what may happen this time? World peace? Perhaps. An end to global suffering? Possibly. The presence of something other than X Factor induced tedium at number 1? We can but hope.
Buy Jump In My Car From 7 Digital or Buy Jump In My Car From iTunes Thanks for signing up and let's hope we can get the Hoff to number 1. This campaign was a bit of an experiment to see if people power over the internet could make something daft like this happen, and hopefully it will.
Thanks as well to all the media peeps who've supported us (including The Sun, Evening Standard, Reggie Yates, Scott Mills, the Ugly Phil show and Dave Fanning) - just to clarify though, this was a purely amateur effort fuelled by people power.

What a pile of sh!te, seems like one big bandwagon, nobody can honestly say they like him that much, hes no better than any other retro actor like Burt Reynolds etc and his music is cr@p hence why its only really sold in Germany.

He's a Legend... he's the new breed of binge drinkers that we've lost since the greats like Olie Reed passed on! We nned to get him to number 1 to show the kids what real pop music is all about

Because he's a deluded cheeseball who thinks he brought down the Berlin wall with his song 'looking for Freedom'.
He's been the butt of thousands of internet jokes and the way he's embraced it and accepted that he's a figure of amusement is endearing. Also he's clearly got a drink problem.... although not funny in itself it's the effect this has on his actions. We're missing a good celebrity drinker these days!
other things such as him been quoted trying to get into Wimbledon while pissed with the line "don't you know who I am? I'm the Hoff!"
He's also missed flights for been too drunk having pissed himself
He's recently been on GMTV and was trying to pull the young fit blonde Scottish lass...
All in he's a figure of amusement and to get him to Number 1 would be the publics payback for the entertainment he provides

ohh right, so the national facination with the Hoff is more of a sarcastic way off laughing at him rather than with him?
Still dont think any of it is funny mind.

One of my favorite few film lines of all time came from Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights.
Girl "Is he going to .... me in the .....?"
Our man Burt "You want him to .... in the .....?"
Girl "I wouldn't mind"
Our man Burt ".... in the ....!"
Girl = Heather Graham???

I also think the appeal is this is all created by the power of the net and the public. His comeback has nothing really to do with PR or good marketing and everything to do with joke pictures been emailed to people using the 'Hoff' as a theme. I think the Hoff at number 1 would be two fingers up to all these pop bands that are manufactured to sound and look great.
