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).

3) Scooter is a band from Hamilton, New Zealand. Made up of the remnants of bands that had already left town, Scooter are Stan Jagger (drums), Kent Ericksen (guitar, vocals) and Steve Gray (guitar). They formed in 1994 and began performing live at Bossa Nova Cafe in 1995, and have continued to play live as recently as 2006.
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.

C'est Bleu
Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody in the place, it's time to spin
Gimme the place when I rock the venue
Better get running 'cause I'm coming for you
Boom-boom, bang-bang
Slippy like banana man
Fast-track living like the Sheffield gang
Come on posse, are you ready for the night?
Doux, doux, l'amour est doux
Douce est ma vie
Ma vie dans tes bras
Doux, doux, l'amour est doux
Douce est ma vie
Ma vie près de toi
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Berce mon coeur
Mon coeur amoureux
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Bleu comme le ciel
Qui joue dans tes yeux
Turn it up
Yes
Gotta get strong man
Yeah
Come on
Talent imitates
Genius steals
That's what I mean
Got you under my wheels
I like my beats to roll
Through your mind and soul
More, more, more
'Till you jump on the floor
I'm a hardcore emcee, get myself in the zone
Living my life is like a world of unknown
After all the years I got bigger and bigger
My barrel's full of bullets, now I'm pulling the trigger
Doux, doux, l'amour est doux
Douce est ma vie
Ma vie dans tes bras
Doux, doux, l'amour est doux
Douce est ma vie
Ma vie près de toi
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Berce mon coeur
Mon coeur amoureux
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Bleu comme le ciel
Qui joue dans tes yeux
Watch out
We gonna kick it
Wild and wicked
Yes
Come on
In a world, where survival is the only rule and feelings have no place
Where winning is everything and weakness is fatal
How much difference can one person make?
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Talent imitates
Genius steals
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
That's what I mean
Got you under my wheels
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Berce mon coeur
Mon coeur amoureux
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Bleu comme le ciel
Qui joue dans tes yeux
Right about now
Raise your hands
Up to the sky
Raise your hands
Yeah-eah
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Bleu comme le ciel
Qui joue dans tes yeux
The song "C'est Bleu" by Scooter starts with the call for the crew to enter, and everyone in the place is asked to spin as the beat starts playing. The lyrics then shift towards describing the energy of the music, with fast and slippy beats that move through the mind and soul until you jump on the floor. The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, shifts between two languages, French and English. The French lyrics speak of love being sweet and blue, with the color of the sky that plays in your eyes, while the English part talks about talent imitating and genius stealing, with the beat rolling through your mind and soul. The song ends with the call to raise your hands up to the sky.
The song seems to be about the power of music to bring people together and energize them. The English lyrics suggest that music can be both the result of talent and imitation, while the French lyrics speak of love as a sweet and blue emotion, much like the color of the sky that plays in your eyes. The urge to raise your hands up to the sky seems to suggest that the power of music can transcend language barriers and connect people with each other and a higher power.
