"Hooked on a Feeling," by Mark James, was originally performed by B. J. Thomas, but the song's trademark "ooga chacka" jungle chants were added in Jonathan King's 1971 recording. The 1974 Blue Swede cover reached number one on the pop charts. David Hasselhoff also covered the song in 1997.
Johnny Fiama sings several bars of "Hooked on a Feeling" in a commercial for his Greatest Hits Album, We Hardly Heard Ya, on episode 105 of Muppets Tonight. Sal Minella does the "ooga chackas" in the background, but Johnny gets frustrated when they throw him off.
