Did David Hasselhoff sing the Baywatch theme?

I always thought he did, but last night I was told that he only sang the song that played over the end credits… a google search didn’t turn up anything definitive so I turn to the boards.

Cheers

I belive it is true that he only sung the end credits song.

He has quite a recognisable singing voice, and I definitely know that was it in the end credits.

I don’t remember the opening credit song. I never watched the show, just waited till it ended so I could watch whatever it was that came after.

He _was_ excellent in _Euro Trip_. Amusing as hell, at least.

according to [imdb](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096542/fullcredits) a man named Fiji or George Veikoso sings the theme.
