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. 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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The first time, I ever saw your face
The first time, I've ever seen this place
The first time, I ever saw your face
The first time, I've ever seen this place
The first time, I ever saw your face
The first time
The first time, I ever saw your face
The first time, I've ever seen this place

The first time
Scooter’s song “The First Time” is a romantic song that tells the story of a person encountering their lover and the feeling of love at first sight. The repetition of the lyrics “The first time, I've ever seen this place/The first time, I ever saw your face” emphasizes how significant and special that moment was for the singer. The repetition also highlights the idea that love can bloom unexpectedly and suddenly, catching the person off guard. The excitement and wonder of this moment is further expressed through the repetition of the chorus “The first time.”
The lyrics suggest that the singer is experiencing a new place and new love simultaneously, as they note “The first time, I’ve ever seen this place.” This highlights the idea that love can change a person’s perspective and experience of the world around them. The focus on this one moment, the first time they saw their lover’s face, implies that the rest of the world fades away and becomes insignificant when love is involved. The singer is solely focused on their new love.
The song creates a sense of nostalgia and longing for that first moment and the feelings that came with it. The repetition of the lyrics serves as a reminder of the importance of that first meeting and how it has greatly impacted the singer's life. “The First Time” captures the beauty of love at first sight and the power it has to change someone's life forever.

I used to listen to this to calm myself down when I was going through a nervous crisis back when I was a kid! Scooter, come back!
@rcs2003
One of the BEST scooter singles. Probably the best. Pure trance from their best album that called "Wicked" paired with Coldwater canyon. Oh man those tracks are so perfectly arranged. Rick J. Jordan was a godsend genius at the time.
I remember when bought from my classmate the album "Our Happy Hardcore" around 2000, on cassette (haha). I didnt had cd player or internet at the time and searched that album for a long time, with no luck. On of the most happiest moment in my life when heard the first sounds of it. Never forget that feeling. Nowadays music loosing its value because the amount of cultural trash is INSANE
@hinsen
This is a cover and includes samples of other songs as well as most of Scooter's songs (e.g. vocal Roberta Flack The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face ). But a well-arranged mix of Rave with Dream Dance /Trance.
@eexcaliburr1327
@RCS true, man! Rick IS able to create awesome trance music!
@YesSirPhil
