David Hasselhoff - Jump In My Car (2006)

(Ted Mulry)
 USA (recorded in Australia)
Later version
#3 UK

Recorded in Sydney by TV star of Knight Rider and Baywatch, produced by ex-Easybeat Harry Vanda, released by Sony Australia to coincide with an Australian tour.

These days, David Hasselhoff seems to provoke mainly hilarity in some quarters: see, for example, this reaction to the (Australian-made) video for Jump In My Car.

Still, Jump In My Car reached #3 on the British charts early in October 2006, which was nice for the folks at GetHasselhoffTo Number1.com. Don’t you love that blurring of irony and adulation?

Men At Work - Jump In My Car (2000)

 Australia
Later version

Live version on the album The Andrew Denton Breakfast Show Musical Challenge, from a Sydney radio segment in which well-known bands were asked to play a cover of an unlikely song. Details at Discogs.com.

Good-humoured Australian band Men At Work had a number of big hits at home and abroad in the first half of the 80s, including Who Can It Be Now? and Down Under, both of which peaked at #1 in the USA, as did the album Business As Usual (1982). Frontman Colin Hay, now a highly regarded solo singer-songwriter, performed Men At Work’s USA #3 hit Overkill in the Scrubs episode My Overkill (2001).

Fester Fanatics - Jump In My Car (1989)

(Ted Mulry)
 Australia
Later version

On the album Greatest Cocktail Party Hits. According to the Australian Metal Guide, the album was a collection of raucous and shambolic covers by a Sydney band known for their slapdash, none-too-serious approach to thrash metal. (Sounds like fun!)
