He may be a hunk on a California beach, but Baywatch star David Hasselhoff's less of a man and more of a mouse when it comes to UK chart success.
The muscly 54-year-old plans on changing this terrible gap in his celebrity CV by releasing a single on the UK market next month.
Dubiously entitled Jump In My Car, the Hoff's cause has already been adopted as the subject of intensive campaigns by several leading media bodies.
Getting the Knight Rider star to number one might be made a little bit easier by the extremely tongue-in-cheek nature of the song.
Its poppy beats and absurdly self-parodying video make for amusing entertainment. Hasselhoff is seen to drive around before jumping out to entertain himself with a bevy of beautiful, clothes-lacking women.
Music pundits suggest that the transition from German chart success to the slightly more highbrow British equivalent might be too much of a jump for the ageing actor.
Of course, there's a fair chance they might be horribly, horribly wrong.
