1) Scooter is a German… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Scooter is a German group, formed by Sören Bühler, Hans-Peter Geerdes, Hendrik Stedler, and Jens Thele, in Hamburg, Germany in 1994. Among their more well known hits are 'Ramp! (The Logical Song)', 'Move Your Ass', 'Fire', 'How Much Is The Fish?', 'Nessaja' and 'Weekend!'.
Originally the group started as a side project in 1994. Their debut single Vallée De Larmes (French for Valley Of Tears) reached #8 on the German dance chart. In April of that year, Scooter played their first live show in Hamburg, Germany, where vocalist Hans-Peter Geerdes began freestyling off the top of his head to an instrumental dance track. At that point, Scooter officially became a group, and Geerdes' rapping would become one of the band's trademarks together with the fact that they all of their tracks are in fact remixes, though often with different titles than the original tracks.
In 2002, Scooter enjoyed somewhat of a comeback, with 6 top twenty UK singles ('RAMP! (The Logical Song)', 'Nessaja', 'Posse (I Need You On The Floor)', 'Weekend!', "The Night', and 'Maria (I Like It Loud)') all charting in an 18 month period (prior to this comeback, they only ever had one top twenty single in the UK, 'Back In The UK').
They have a sort of 'trademark' style of dance, with most of their songs featuring some "rap shouting", sometimes featuring a high pitched vocal, which is evident especially on their biggest hit 'RAMP! (The Logical Song)' (which samples 'The Logical Song' by Supertramp). Much of their music features elements of a live performance, including the roar of the crowd, and the echoing sound of Geerdes' voice.
Scooter's style would also appear to harp back to that of The KLF, especially so with the track entitled "Posse! (I Need You On The Floor) - with a sample which recurrs throughout the work of The KLF. KLF references are also frequently used in Scooter songs. Both bands have released singles with the title "Fuck the Millennium": KLF in 1997 under the pseudonym 2K, and Scooter in 1999. Relatively lenghty and complex samples used in KLF tracks have often surfaced in Scooter tracks, such as the entire opening seconds of the KLF's 3am Eternal being used to open Hello (Good to be Back) by Scooter.
The current band members are: H.P. Baxxter, Michael Simon, and Bastian van Shield (Sebastian Schilde). Former band members were Ferris, Axel Coon, Jay Frog, Rick J. Jordan, and Dirty Disco Youth (Phil Speiser).

Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been searching for a place called home
I know that I've been cold as ice
Ignored the dreams, too many lies
Somewhere deep inside, somewhere deep inside me
I found, the child I used to be
And I know that it's not too late
Never
Too late
3 AM
The painted cow
Yeah
You ain't stoppin' us now
(Wonderful human beings) (Hey)
Yeah, I am the junglist soldier
Come on
The rocket launcher stopped ya (hey)
It's not a bird, it's not a plane
It must be Dave who's on the train
Wanna wanna get'cha, gonna gonna get'cha
Tell 'em that I told ya
Yeah
Always lived my life alone
Been searching for a place called home
I know that I've been cold as ice
Ignored the dreams, too many lies
Somewhere deep inside
Somewhere deep inside me
I found, the child I used to be
And I know that it's not too late
Never
Too late
Alright
Are you ready? It's not a game
I chant so much, I turn you insane
Wanna wanna get'cha, gonna gonna get'cha
Messing up the area, yeah (hey)
Come on (hey)
I am the freshman
Messing up the jam
Turning up the stereo
Join the caravan (hey)
Skippy, the rain won't come
Somewhere deep inside
Somewhere deep inside me
I found, the child I used to be
And I know that it's not too late
Never
Too late
The lyrics of Scooter's song "Nessaja" tell a story of someone who has lived their life alone, constantly searching for a place to call home. They admit to being cold and ignoring their dreams in the past, but they have found the child they used to be deep inside themselves. This realization brings hope that it's never too late to make a change and pursue what truly matters. The song incorporates a strange interlude that includes the phrases "3 AM," "painted cow," and "junglist soldier," which appears to be meaningless but may be a nod to the rave culture that inspired Scooter's music.
The words "Somewhere deep inside me, I found, the child I used to be" may speak to many listeners who feel lost or disconnected from their true selves. The song may resonate with those who have neglected their inner desires or feel like they have strayed too far from what they truly want in life. The chorus provides a sense of hope and is a reminder that it is never too late to make changes and pursue what really matters.
