Hooked on a Feeling was first recorded by B.J. Thomas in 1968, but the version everyone recognises is Blue Swede's 1974 cover, which added the distinctive ooga chaka chant and topped the charts in the United States. Decades later it returned to global attention through the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, where its retro optimism perfectly matched Star-Lord's mixtape era. Since then it has lived on in dance videos, lip-syncs and meme edits, because the chant alone signals instant joy and old-school cool.

The iconic ooga chaka intro and chorus from Blue Swede's Hooked on a Feeling, made famous by Guardians of the Galaxy and used in memes and dance edits.
This 18-second clip opens with the instantly recognisable ooga chaka chant, a rhythmic, almost tribal vocal hook that builds in layers before bursting into the bright, upbeat chorus of Hooked on a Feeling. The voices are warm and full, backed by a bouncy 1970s pop groove that feels joyful and slightly cheeky, and the sudden lift into the melody makes listeners want to dance, smile, or nod along. It carries a nostalgic, feel-good energy that instantly lightens a scene, turning an ordinary moment into something playful, confident, and unmistakably retro.
