Gunther.

<p>Does anyone have any theories as to why Gunther (of Ding Dong Song fame…and many other songs) is so huge in Europe? Same with David Hasselhoff - his videos and covers are absolute jokes (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, search for “hooked on a feeling” on YouTube), yet these guys are huge over there. WHY???</p>

<p>No idea. But I absolutely despise Gunther. My friends and I made a “music video” for the Ding Dong song. It was hilarious but we ahve since lost it =(.</p>

<p>Europe has strange tastes.</p>

<p>Poor Gunther…he finally tells Rachel how he feels and gets shot down. I’ve seen it so many times in real life. Nice guys finish last I guess.</p>

<p>Haha you guys are way more up on the culture than I am, I guess. I’m lost.</p>

<p>Last semester I went out on some activity with TBP and they had a Gunther CD and were playing it. It was mostly to make fun of it, but I was surprised someone had actually purchased a CD of his. So strange…</p>

<p>In Germany, a DDR-copy David Hasselhoff-themed dancing game was released, and became so popular that a sequel was released.</p>
