"Jump in My Car" is a song originally recorded by Australian rock band Ted Mulry Gang in 1975.

Charts Weekly charts Year-end charts David Hasselhoff version American actor David Hasselhoff recorded a cover of "Jump in My Car" that was released in Australia on 26 June 2006 ahead of his first tour there. The song was later released in the UK and debuted at number three on the UK Singles Chart in October 2006. It received publicity from the "Get Hasselhoff to Number 1" campaign, which originally campaigned to get "Looking for Freedom" released but later switched its attentions to "Jump in My Car". The song also received backing from BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills and The Sun newspaper. The music video for the song was filmed in Glebe in Sydney, Australia and was ranked number 2 in MAX music's World's Worst Ever Video countdown in 2008. According to Hasselhoff, the video was intended as a joke, a parody of himself. The 1983 Pontiac Trans Am in the video has been modified to look like KITT from Knight Rider. Most notably, due to the video being filmed in Australia, the car was right hand drive. Hasselhoff sang this song on an episode of the TV show America's Got Talent. His cover of the song was a running gag on Quizmania. In 2019, Hasselhoff re-record the song for his fourteenth studio album Open Your Eyes (2019), with American rock musician Todd Rundgren being a featured artist in the song.
