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).

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).

Dayroom and Maybe appeared on the promo CDs NZ on Air Indie Hit Disc 6 and 7, respectively, in 1998.

I saw you from across the way so I had to say something
Shorty I ain't trying to be with you but I wanna make money with you
I'm trying to elevate you in a different way
Because I see potential you that you didn't even know you had
For real
I'm trying to be your friend
Shorty I'm not trying to be your man
Baby you know it ain't no time to waste
And a nigga want another taste
You got me smiling when I see your face
Swear that I'm not toxic toxic toxic toxic toxic baby
Have you thinking that I'm toxic toxic toxic toxic toxic baby
Excuse me miss you probably know my name
I go by Scooter baby I ain't with the fooling baby (Yeah)
I see that you got potential you just need a tutor baby
How I move is presidential, I stay with some shooters baby
Known to have it on em
Hit the gas do the dash then I'm passing on em
Know they gone spaz girl when they see us
Had my eye on you for a minute from the moment I met you
I like how you handle business, I know we can do it better
Just trying to put you down

I know you get it, put your digits in my cellular
Know you like to break it down
And that's good with me
You just gotta bring the wood and I'll supply the weed (I got that pressure)

The song "Friends" by Scooter is about a man who wants to be friends with a woman because he sees potential in her, not because he wants to pursue a romantic relationship with her. He admires her business sense and wants to work together to make money. He assures her that he's not toxic and that he's just trying to be her friend. The lyrics suggest that the two have chemistry and that he's interested in her, but he's not pushy about it. He just wants to work with her and elevate her, both financially and personally.

Okay, I'm not the biggest fan of Scooter, but this track... it is timeless!
@Dwayndibbsvids
Yes sometimes you need to appreciate the years they put in to the dance music scene. Sometimes cheesy but some underated stuff possibly as they were a little different
@AlexandraPeters70
It really is :))
