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.

Liquid Is Liquid
Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go ahead London...
Dance while the record spins
Who heartship my heart?
I'm a nightmare
Go ahead London
Go ahead London...
Dance while the record spins
Who heartship my heart?
I'm a nightmare
Go ahead London
The lyrics to Scooter's song "Liquid Is Liquid" suggest an intense and somewhat chaotic atmosphere, with the singer proclaiming themselves to be a "nightmare" and urging the city of London to continue dancing despite the turmoil. The line "dance while the record spins" suggests a desire to lose oneself in the music and escape from the stresses of everyday life. However, the repeated question "who heartship my heart?" suggests a deeper emotional struggle, as if the singer is searching for someone to understand and empathize with their pain.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm a nightmare...
I am not a pleasant dream, but rather a terrifying event that causes fear and distress to those who experience it
Go ahead London...
Do not let my scary presence stop you from enjoying yourself, London. Go on and have fun regardless of my presence
Dance while the record spins
Move your body to the rhythm of the song as it plays on the turntable, continuing to experience the joy of life
Who heartship my heart?
Who has captured and held onto my heart, causing me emotional distress and possibly heartbreak?
I'm a nightmare
I am not someone who can be easily ignored, but rather a terrorizing force that can cause unease and discomfort to those around me
Go ahead London
Continue on with your festivities even though I may be a disturbing presence. Do not let my negative energy interfere with your enjoyment of life
