Music Monday: A couple times a hit, “Hooked On A Feeling”
Posted By RichC on August 7, 2023
The songwriter Mark James wrote the song “Hooked On A Feeling” that became a hit in 1968 for singer and entertainer B.J. Thomas (see Geraldo video below) and 
then became a hit for Swedish rock band Blue Swede six years later. Both versions are memorable, although the Blue Swede producer Jonathan King’s “ooga-chaka” introduction on the 1974 version does grab one’s attention.
Since both of these versions were likely recorded from FM radio, or the album, and recorded to cassette by me (or perhaps purchsed as 8-track if they were Brenda’s), it gives me an excuse to use this ani-gif in today’s Music Monday post!
