whats this?

1982??

Scooter is not that old, according to their official bio.

An incorrect credit? Scooter would not be that uncommon of a name... in fact this band would make far more sense in that tracklist.

They even have a song called you (duration do not match exactly but heh...)

EDIT: Well MuzikArfiez.be thinks the same

First of all, I think most people dislike Scooter because it evokes certain aspects of culture that people dislike. Also it's just not that interesting or sexy of music.


The front man HP Baxxter (Hans-Peter Geerdes) actually is rather interesting - according to wikipedia: "Geerdes studied law for one semester, however completed an apprenticeship as a wholesale and foreign trade buyer."

I think there is definitely an element of parody with the group. After all their website is "scootertechno.com"

also one of the members Jens Thele is the director of Kontor Records, which has a pretty big hand in the "global dance market"

It's hard to imagine they would simply be silly for the sake of being silly.

There are plenty of other ways to make money.

sorry my bad... montana cleared me up as well

Man when I was younger I used to listen to Scooter, I'm not even going to lie. But as you mature, you start to wonder, why is this German constantly yelling gibberish?

Ring me up!
Skip to the dip now!
What we say?
Jigga Jigga!
Welcome to the main arena!

Rofl.

"Friends" is still kinda hot though. Lol.

Not a problem, we all rely too much on discogs/IMDB/wiki those days.

Heh, Nietsche and Scooter in the same article?

Anyways, check out Scooter's "Rhapsody In E". Quality trance track right there.

But judging of some their more assinine lyrics I sincerely hope they are self aware enough to be making it for laughs

Of course Scooter is self-aware!

They have song titles like, "We Are the Greatest" and "Everything's Borrowed."

The whole point of post-modernism is that the "medium becomes the message", and so Scooter's over-the-top parody of the excesses of dance music becomes over-the-top dance music in and of itself.

Those non-sequiturs that HP throws out, like "The Painted Cow!", are no less vapant and goofy than the serious vocals in most trance songs that ramble on about everything being connected and swimming in deep blue oceans. Scooter is just more upfront about it.

I do agree that most trance lyrics are assinine sa well lol

And yeah, they probably are very self-aware with those titles and Baxxter's one-liners
