In 2013, B. J. Thomas included "Hooked on a Feeling", in duet with Sara Niemietz, on The Living Room Sessions.
The Feeling | Feeling Good | The Man of Feeling | The Feeling Good Handbook | Hooked on a Feeling | Feeling So Blue | Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy | Feeling B | You've Lost That Loving Feeling | You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling | That Sinking Feeling (1980 film) | That Sinking Feeling | Peaceful Easy Feeling | Once More with Feeling | Music, Thought, and Feeling | More Than a Feeling | Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow | I've Got a Feeling | It's a Great Feeling | If You're Feeling Sinister | Hooked | Feeling So Real | Can't Fight This Feeling |
In the same vein, the distinctive refrain added to Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Swede, Ooga-ooga-ooga-chucka would start repeating and listeners would never know when it would end.
As a result, the duo were subsequently dropped from Reprise, and the duo returned in 1990 on EMI Records with the EP "Danger Is My Business." A single was released, "Set Me Free," which prominently featured samples from Blue Swede's 1974 cover of B.J. Thomas' 1969 hit song "Hooked on a Feeling."
They frequently launch into cover versions of songs from the Who as well as other songs such as Blue Swede’s "Hooked on a Feeling," "Winter Wonderland" and The Kings' "Switching to Glide." The majority of the songs are written by Dag Juhlin with some others by Gregg and Johnny L.
