Hooked on a Feeling Lyrics. Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga. I can't stop this feeling deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize what you do to me When you hold me in your arms so tight You let me know everything's all right. But this version of the song, with the earwiggy Ooga Chaka, was actually based on a fairly successful 1971 cover by English performer Jonathan King where the intro was first created. Blue Swede’s version also had slight lyrical changes to remove even a hint of drug use. Not only was it the main background music of the Dancing Baby meme, which was a 3D animation of . ancing baby, it was also used in the great Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy.

And what about Jonathan King, who put the chant on the song in 1971? King was a university student in the UK when he recorded his debut hit "Everyone's Gone To The Moon" in 1965, which reached in the UK and in the US. He went on to become a successful singer, songwriter, producer (he produced the first Genesis album, From Genesis to Revelation), broadcaster and record company executive (in 1972 he formed UK Records)

The significance of their rip of Jonathan King's arrangement of the . Thomas hit is that - no, it isn't as sublime as the original, but for a novelty hit, it works. Should they have quit after this? Absolutely. Did they? No. This album is definitely bizarre, more so than the follow-up Out of the Blue, for this made-in-Sweden record shows what happens when someone other than David Bowie is copping the riffs. Lead singer Bjorn Skifs collaborates with producer Bengt Palmers (he changed his name to Ben Palmers for the next disc) on a strange attempt at the Philly sound.
