Today's music is all about the 'ooga chaka'

Today's music is based on the song "Hooked on a Feeling." It was a top five hit for B.J. Thomas in 1969. A different version of the song made it to number one, 40 years ago this week. It was by the Swedish group Blue Swede and it included a distinctive chanted introduction. Downloads of this song have spiked recently after it was prominently featured in the trailer for the Marvel comics movie "Guardians of the Galaxy."
