The Blue Swede version was the first #1 hit in the US by a Swedish act. It reached the top the same week ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo" and introduced themselves to an international audience. The 7-member Blue Swede had more hits in Sweden, but never again cracked the American market, even though their songs were all in English. The essence of “Hooked On A Feeling” goes back to Memphis, Tennessee. The tune was written by Mark James, the same songwriter who wrote "Suspicious Minds" for Elvis. The song recently garnered attention apart of a very dynamic soundtrack to Guardians of the Galaxy. The song kicks off the entire movie and sets the tone for a 1970's-themed soundtrack that is absolutely terrific. Below is a video of Blue Swede performing the hit, but at the bottom of the article is the scene from the movie. Both are surely worth the view. Enjoy. (source) Lyrics to "Hooked On A Feeling" I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize What you do to me Your lips are sweet as candy The taste stays on my mind You just keep me thirsty For another cup of wine When you hold me In your arms so tight You let me know Everything's all right I, I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me I've got it bad for you, darling But I don't need a cure I'll just stay addicted And hope I can endure All the good love When we're all alone Keep it up boy Yeah, you turn me on I, I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me When you hold me In your arms so tight You let me know Everything's all right I, I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me I said I'm hooked on a feeling RELATED: Billboard’s Top Songs From The 70s
