Every time I listen to the Blue Swede cover of "Hooked on a Feeling" I'm struck by how relatively little ooga chaka it contains for a song that's literally only known for ooga chaka.
as someone who was introduced to the song by Captain Hook on Far Far Away Idol, I was kinda taken aback by the ooga chackas the first time I heard the original
As touched on in the initial post, the ooga chakas aren't in the 1968 original either. They were introduced in a 1971 cover by Jonathan King, and later popularised by the 1973 Blue Swede cover.
i think when you compare it to other songs its actually a lot more oooha chackas than most normal songs have. so it depends honestly
