Bucyrus Jezebiah (B.J.) Thomas (born August 7, 1942 in Snake's Hips, Oklahoma) is the popular-music artist who created and sang Hooked on a Feeling, the culmination of a long career of trying to work his way up the charts of Christian rock, a genre that only appeals to an audience that is usually burning pop records in bonfires. The song was a catchy song with a positive message and a danceable beat. It also included an electric sitar, endearing it to an audience occupying even a smaller niche than Gospel rockers. It earned B.J. the position he so richly deserved, on the list of artists with one-hit wonders.

It earned B.J. the position he so richly deserved, on the list of artists with one-hit wonders. Sadly, the 'Sixties ended, the Swedish pop group Blue Swede decided that what the song needed was a little bossa nova and a lot of African chanting. The most unnecessary and awful cover in the annals of music vaulted up the Billboard Hot 100 list to #1, and only because Billboard doesn't have a Hot 1 list. The rest was history. And suddenly, B.J. was not.
