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). 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.

Psycho
Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We started to create a sound, this sound should change the nation
Inspired by those people like Ratty, we started riding on heavy horses
Psycho, wind it up, wind it up, wind it up
The lyrics of the song "Psycho" by Scooter are referencing the time period when the group the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (JAMMs) were active and had a significant influence on music culture. The JAMMs were known for their unconventional and experimental sound, which involved heavy sampling and eclectic genres. The lyrics suggest that Scooter was inspired by the JAMMs and their style of music, and sought to create their own unique sound that would have a similar impact on society. The reference to "heavy horses" may be a metaphor for the heavy beats and bass in their music, which would have been a departure from the more traditional styles of music at the time.
The phrase "Psycho, wind it up, wind it up, wind it up" is the chorus of the song and serves as a call-to-action for the listener to engage with the music and dance. The use of the word "Psycho" in this context can be interpreted as a reference to the frenzied and energetic nature of the music, which can induce a feeling of excitement and euphoria in the listener.
Line by Line Meaning
At the time, when the justified ancients of Mu Mu ruled the world
During a time when the powerful and righteous ancients of Mu Mu controlled the earth
We started to create a sound, this sound should change the nation
We began to produce a unique and revolutionary music that could transform our country
Inspired by those people like Ratty, we started riding on heavy horses
Motivated by icons such as Ratty, we began to ride and perform with powerful and commanding energy
Psycho, wind it up, wind it up, wind it up
Our vibrant and gripping sound is intense and electrifying; crank up the volume and let it consume you
