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).

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.

Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come and catch a vibe
We live in the night
What a time just to be alive
My doors suicide
In the night my thoughts come alive
You gone catch a vibe
In the night
Only in the night (Yeah)
What a time
Yeah we back outside
Know I got that fye
(In The Night) When I come alive
It's a scary sight
Boy I'm fried
See it in my eyes
You know that I'm high
It's a vibe
When I say let's ride
Don't be switching sides
Don't be surprised if we wet yo ride like a slip and slide
Hurry and bye I see dollar signs, only thing on my mind
Don't test my pride, when it comes to mine I'll go Michael Myers
I can't decide If he make a move, swear that boy gonna die (Zaga)
Out here in the night time with it
We don't do the day
Out here in the night time with it
We gone have our way
Ay

Come and catch a vibe
We live in the night
What a time just to be alive
My doors suicide
In the night my thoughts come alive
You gone catch a vibe

The lyrics to Scooter's song The Night are about waiting for the love that the singer needs, and not fully understanding the situation. The singer's friends are talking to them about love, and they know that the love can be made right, but they are still waiting for it. The song has a positive message about being patient and waiting for what one needs. The lyrics also mention a "rumble in the jungle" and the singer's skills on the microphone, which could represent a sense of confidence and strength.
The chorus of the song repeats several times, emphasizing the waiting for love and the confusion surrounding the situation. The verses then switch to a faster-paced rap section, where the singer talks about their skills and their ability to make people move with their music. The song overall has a high energy and infectious beat, with catchy lyrics that make it a popular dance anthem.
