As seen in an early viral video rediscovered in the late 90s, David Hasselhoff famously performed ‘Looking For Freedom’ before throngs of pro-German reunification activists at the Berlin Wall on New Year’s Eve 1989, mere weeks after the wall started being taken down. Wearing a piano-keyboard tie and a leather jacket covered in motion lights, Hasselhoff stood in a bucket crane and performed the song along with the crowd. Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio ranked it at #98 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever, stating that Hasselhoff “testifies to the power of music — horrible, horrible music — to unite and uplift us all.” In 2006, German basketball player Dirk Nowitzki joked that he sings the song before free throws.
