The Shakespeare comparison does not end there, as Dougal Floosenborff is the "Shakey" of our generation. Fish out of Marillion once sang "Where are the poets - where are the visionaries...?" He clearly had not encountered the Hoffmeister!

This CD stretches the boundaries (and receptacles!) and pushes the imagination to the hilt! Every song an original master by the master. If you're fed up with losers who blatantly steal other people's hard work to have a hit or two, then this CD is for you. It is utterly incredible and incomparable.

Arlo Guthrie, The Mamas and the Papas, Madonna, John Denver, Niel Diamond - hell, even Elvis Presley all owe a debt of thanks to the songs that appear here, courtesy of the ex-mulletted Baywatch star.

Now if that ain't genius on a level with Shakespeare, then I'm David's lovechild.

The song "Hot Shot City" is particularly good - even though it's not on this disc.


THE MAESTRO IS BACK... BETTER THAN EVER   October 22, 2005

Yet another masterpiece from the best contemporary entertainer to have never lived in Germany!

This album far exceeds the soulful melodies of David's 89' release "Looking for Freedom", and speaks to me not unlike his 2000 release "Magic Collection" which includes 2 versions of "Night Rocker", a powerful introspective expose that critics claimed captured the energy that is "pure Hasselhoff".

From David's soulful rendition of "You've lost that lovin' feelin", to an upbeat foot loose performance of "These boots are made for walkin'" that would leave even Nancy Sinatra proud. This album simply screams that David is at the top of his game.

On a personal note, I once had the pleasure of serving Mr. Hasselhoff his favorite drink, a "Vodka straight up", in a establishment I worked at many years ago... The memories of that wonderful encounter resonate when I listen to "David Hasselhoff sings America".

I recount the moment we shared and are warmed by what a gentlemen he was that evening... the evening this chance meeting changed my life. As I placed his cocktail on the bar I commented on what a huge fan I was and graciously told him "I loved your work in Knight Rider", he responded with an act of unadulterated Hasselhoff by leaning over the bar with one thumb raised and exclaimed "My best f...in' work to date" (and this was 1999!). We shared a mutual nod as he picked up the Vodka and took a mouthful.

From acting to singing, everything this man touches turns to gold... keep em' coming Dave!

Your friend, Mike.


I didn't believe the hype! Now I feel like a retard!   October 18, 2005

Now, I'm not usually one to follow the crowd or take an interest in something just because it's popular at the time, so you can imagine my skepticism upon reading review after review praising Mr. Hoarysocks as some kind of genius; a musical revelation; a King among men; a modern day Mozart or Pat Boone. Normally I stear clear of anything that's been so feverishly hyped. But, alas, curiosity got the better of me, and I purchased a copy of The Very Best Of David Snoffenfloff, fully prepared to be disappointed.
My God, my Lord in Heaven! Was I ever wrong! This is one artist, I can assure you, that is more than worthy of the profuse shower of bilious, worshipful laudings that have been so lovingly heaped upon his hirsute form.
I could go on and on and on and on about Hoogeyhowe and his one-man musical revolution, how every note speaks of rebellion and social upheaval. But I fail to see what I could say that hasn't been said already.
I will add one thing: Have you ever made sweet love to the mewlings of Hasflaslaff? I recommend getting your thing on to The Very Best of, and climaxing with the fittingly orgasmic 'Hot Shot City', as it is particularly good.

My days are mostly spent working hard in my chosen career (I will keep my chosen career a secret due to fear of ridicule), but my evenings belong to "The Very Best Of David Hasselhoff".
What can I say about this Euro-disco legend that hasn't already been said?! David personifies the qualities that make up the perfect musical statement, passion, love, talent, leather, emotion, chest hair, and I could go on.
From the opening notes to the closing track this album lifts you up like a dead crab fired from a slingshot, and then beats you back down like a stubborn tent peg.
David Haemorrhoids whines and moans during some songs, and then wails and rhapsodises on others, he's a man marvel! What other recording artist can claim the title of melody supremo umbungo?
I'm a mere mortal, I can admit to that much, but David Hungermite is neither merely a mortal or an immortal, he is an animal born of petrol-induced fury and dirt track dreams. Leather and hair combust when he sings, ear drums quake with fear, CD players short circuit and power grids collapse! Wow!
"Looking For Freedom" makes me want to run through brick walls stark naked and covered in jam, it's a dangerous rhythm beast of a song, a tune that both kisses me and then kicks me! Take the following lyric for example - "Did some work on a farm / got some muscle in my arm" Genius!
My favourite of David's musical odysseys is "Crazy For You", it's a tribute to the late 70's when large hair was worshipped, rock stars were Gods and a song's chorus could go on forever!
That said, the song "Hot Shot City" is particularly good.
