Bad Cover Versions: David Hasselhoff- The Passenger (2021)

Want to know what a midlife crisis sounds like? Look no further. This candy ass version of the Berlin era Iggy Pop classic is like your drunken uncle at karaoke, going, “I’ve still got it, damn it. Don’t I?”

It’s like his association with Germany made him believe he could do this song justice. Demonstrably, it can’t. Some songs should never be messed with. Don’t hassle The Pop. Maybe he should have invested in a classic car or motorbike instead.
