The Germans really love David Hasselhoff. While he’s always been a joke here, (even before the drunken hamburger incident), the Germans have held a special place in their hearts for him. The Hoff gained pop stardom over in Deutschland, which peaked when he sang at the Potsdamer Platz concert in 1989 as the Berlin Wall came down.
During the concert, The Hoff sang “Looking for Freedom” while wearing a piano key scarf and a jacket that flickered with little christmas tree lights.
Twenty years after that concert, The Hoff will perform again at the anniversary of the destruction of the Berlin Wall. Twenty years of progress means they probably could make him an LED light jacket.
Check out his original performance below!
