David Hasselhoff stars in retro 'Guardians of the Galaxy' music video

David Hasselhoff has been unleashed in the new 'Guardians of the Galaxy' music video.

A new musical video of David Hasselhoff's song 'Inferno' from the 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' soundtrack has been released by Marvel.

In the video, Hasselhoff has got a mic in hand, and spends his bit of the video rapping about none other than Star-Lord, who, says David, has 'Got no people skills but he's good with motors'.

At the end of the video, he encourages Star-Lord to 'do Hassel proud,' and closes by saying, "We are Groot," in a reference to the Vin Diesel character Baby Groot, who can only say, "I am Groot."

Stan Lee also gets himself a grand entrance in the music video.

Hasselhoff played a small role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, with Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) revealing as a boy, he'd fantasized his dad was Hasselhoff.

The song is performed by Sneepers, a fictional band invented by James Gunn and composer Tyler Bates, with director David Yarovesky helming the music video.
