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

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

Lips as sweet as candy
Its taste is on my mind
Girl, you got me thirsty
For another cup of wine

Got a bug from you, girl
But I don't need no cure
I just stay a victim
If I can for sure

All the good love when we're all alone
Keep it up, girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up, girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

I said I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

Hooked on a feeling

Overall Meaning

"Hooked On A Feeling" by Blue Swede is a timeless song that perfectly captures the feeling of being deeply in love. The song is built on a catchy, repetitive beat, and the famous "ooga-chaka" chant by the backup singers adds to the song's infectious hook. The lyrics describe the intense feeling of being deeply in love and the effects it has on the singer's life. The singer is hooked on this feeling and cannot control it because being with their partner is like being on top of the world. Their partner's presence in their life makes everything perfect, and they feel like they can conquer anything.

The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey the singer's emotions. For example, the singer describes the sweetness of their partner's lips as a type of candy that they can't stop thinking about. This imagery helps to illustrate the intensity of the singer's feelings for their beloved. They are so smitten with their partner that they don't need a cure for their "bug," which in the context of the song is a term for their infatuation. Overall, "Hooked On A Feeling" is an upbeat, feel-good love song that has stood the test of time.

My son at a very young age used to go crazy when this came on the radio. He used to jump up and down and say "ohh Daddy it's uga chaka"!!!! He would sing that part and never stop jumping. Such a great memory for me since he is now 48 years old, but will always be "my little guy".

I bought this record in 1974, and it sure brings back a lot of bittersweet memories. An interesting trivia about this cover by Blue Suede is, it was recorded in the 1960's by BJ Thomas, who also made it a monster hit. BJ Thomas's rendition is also wonderful.

@MeepMayCry

11y↑8

Well, I see your points. I myself am part of the younger generation but I do put my life to listen to these kinds of songs. But the thing is, most of us can't really find a way to discover the classical times. Because we are so caught up with modern ways of this world, that we don't really find it in ourselves to look at its history. In this case, the movie trailer sorta helped in bringing this song to modern views.

@RAlNGER

7y↑12

This song is the feeling of falling asleep on a long car ride passing by a distant city, the feeling of waking up so early on a winter morning that its still dark and falling right back into sweet slumber, the feeling of going on midnight bus rides alone to absolutely nowhere and watching lights and street signs flash by, the feeling of being so tired your eyes wont stay open and every sound blends together into a perfect harmony as you fall asleep, the feeling of faint deja vu listening to old 80's music, the feeling of that melancholic nostalgia when you visit an old place.
I'd like to imagine this song to be the feeling an astronaut feels, looking back at the earth from far away, looking back at the place youve been your whole life, where all your friends and memories are, where all your greatest achievements took place, where your tiny life started and where it will inevitably end, the feeling of true peace, knowing that everything youve ever known is so miniscule to the scale of everything, truly being alone with your thoughts, processing the utterly unbelievable one of a kind, oddly lonely but soothing feeling. This song is truly an amazing feeling.
