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).

In 1996 they released the track When We Go Out on a free CD given away with Sync magazine. They had the song Cranky American on Green Eggs and Hamilton, released in 1997, and in the same year covered Platypus by The Clean on the tribute album God Save the Clean (FNCD409). Their involvement with the project led to a TV appearance performing at the album's release party at Auckland's Power Station.
In 1998 they released a self titled debut EP (Scooter), including the songs Dayroom and Maybe and toured the country from end to end in support of the EP's release. Dayroom and Maybe appeared on the promo CDs NZ on Air Indie Hit Disc 6 and 7, respectively, in 1998. The following year they released the single Book 'Im Danno and again toured both the North and South Islands of the country to promote it. In 2000 Book 'Im Danno appeared on the promo CD NZ on Air Indie Hit Disc 12, and in 2001 the same song appeared on the Year Zero compilation.

Apache Rocks the Bottom
Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take care to get what you like
Or you will be forced to like what you get, right
I flick the switch
Two thousands volts of lyrical tricks, yeah
Discharge hard like lightning quick
And hear the tick, you got it?
From my frontal lobe 'til the microphone explodes
Love to rock bottom beats for the flicks
To hibernate and syncopate
But I'm still in the mix, come on
Rock bottom, yeah
Rock bottom, come on
I'm gonna blow up big
While you still on the bottom of the charts like a twig, yeah
It's lonely on the top
The champ is here for the lyrics I drop
I pump kinetics, unintential malice
Wanna battle one of us is ending up in God's palace
Back off deadly like black coffee
Long as I got lungs and a knot you can't stop me
Rock bottom, yeah
Join the jams, come on, yeah
Back on the track, nice and loud
I'm ice, the man that kicks in the door
My mouth is gonna gun you down
I've never needed pistols before
You better stick to the floor rock bottom
Rock bottom
Join the jams, right
The song Apache by Scooter starts with an intro warning the listener to be cautious in choosing their preferences in life, advocating that it's essential to ensure they get what they want. Otherwise, they may end up liking something they didn't want in the first place. The lyrics then take a turn into self-praise, with the artist boasting about their lyrical skills as they unleash two thousand volts of lyrical tricks, charged hard like lightning quick. The artist challenges the listener to keep up with their new flex before it explodes from their frontal lobe to the microphone, highlighting their dedication to bottom beats while still keeping in the mix.
The next verse continues with the artist's self-applause, stating that they are on the verge of blowing up big while their competition remains on the bottom of the charts like a twig. They declare that it's lonely being on top, but they are still the champ for the powerful lyrics they drop. The song then takes a turn into a declaration of dominance, indicating that they are unstoppable with their lungs and knot - nothing can stop them. The song concludes with an invitation to join them and "rock bottom" jams.

Check, one two, ah
Let's get started with the music
Take care to get what you like
Be selective in choosing what you want
Or you will be forced to like what you get, right
Otherwise, you'll have to settle for less
I flick the switch
I'm getting ready to perform
Two thousands volts of lyrical tricks, yeah
My music is electrifying and full of surprises
Discharge hard like lightning quick
My music hits hard and fast
And hear the tick, you got it?
Can you feel the rhythm?
But before you hear the tock, there's a new flex I drop
I'm always keeping my audience on their toes with new music
From my frontal lobe 'til the microphone explodes
My performance comes from the heart
Love to rock bottom beats for the flicks
I love performing to the beat of the music
To hibernate and syncopate
I like to take breaks from performing and resume with a different rhythm
But I'm still in the mix, come on
I'm still in the music scene and producing new music
I'm gonna blow up big
My music is going to be a big hit
While you still on the bottom of the charts like a twig, yeah
You'll still be struggling to catch up
It's lonely on the top
Being successful can sometimes feel isolating
The champ is here for the lyrics I drop
My music is of high quality and I dominate the industry
I pump kinetics, unintentional malice
My fierce performance is unintentionally powerful
Wanna battle one of us is ending up in God's palace
If you want to go up against me, you'll lose and go to heaven
Back off deadly like black coffee
My powerful performance can be dangerous like black coffee
Long as I got lungs and a knot you can't stop me
As long as I have breath and determination, nothing can stop me
Back on the track, nice and loud
I'm back and ready to make some noise
I'm ice, the man that kicks in the door
I'm a cool, confident performer who stands out
My mouth is gonna gun you down
My lyrics are powerful and will defeat any challenger
I've never needed pistols before
My music speaks for itself and doesn't require violence
You better stick to the floor rock bottom
If you can't keep up with me, you'll remain at the bottom
Join the jams, right
Get ready to join in on the music
Rock bottom
A term used in music to describe a heavy beat
Join the jams, come on, yeah
Come and jam with me to the beat of the music

I LOVE the wisdom in almost every song of Scooter. it's so MIXED which I love, too A quotation by George Bernard Shaw “Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get” at the beginning and a bit of fighting to show that u sometimes need to fight for what you want, hehe. Song is also good for crazy academics, haha. :-)
