"Hooked on a Feeling" is a 1968 pop song written by Mark James and originally performed by B. J. Thomas. Featuring the sound of the electric sitar, the song reached number five in 1969 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1971, Jonathan King produced his own version, adding "ooga chaka" jungle chants. His version reached number 23 on the UK Singles Chart in 1972.
In 1974, the Swedish pop group Blue Swede did a cover, which included their own version of King's "ooga chaka" introduction. Their version reached number one in the United States and was revived on the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack in 1992.
Peter and Lois' mounted heads sing "Hooked on a Feeling" when they try to imagine what life will be like for Chris after they are dead in "Space Cadet".
