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.

The Only One
Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm calling you
Stand clear at the doors please
Welcome
Can't wait for the day to be done
We rock to the rythm and drum
The sunroof's up, the windows down
Move on!
Cause I wanna see all the massive
In the stage it's gonna be impressive
We travel with the speed of sound
It's the ride you decide
You will never compromise
We analyse the session
Get the lesson, if you dare
Ladies without gentlemen, this is the introduction!
Yeah yeah yeah eah yeah yeah yeah
Listen
Nobody's gonna bring us down
The louder the better we sound
You won't believe what's up tonight
Take me
You know it's all about the chicks
The reason we're still in the mix
I see you in the V.I.P.
No control, let it roll
Tonight i'll take your soul
I confess no regrets
As we progress now
Argh, we are justified and we are ancient
Right!
Yeah yeah yeah eah yeah yeah yeah
The only one I know
The only one I know
The lyrics to Scooter's song "The Only One" start by addressing the masses and telling them to stand clear at the doors. The song itself is an invitation to come along for a ride, to move on with the music, and to rock out to the rhythm and drum. The sunroof is up, the windows are down - it's a carefree experience that they want you to be a part of.
They want to see all the people in the audience, and the stage is set to be impressive. They're traveling with the speed of sound, and it's an experience that you can't compromise on. The song emphasizes living in the moment and not holding back. The only thing that matters is the ride and the experience, and they're inviting everyone to come along.
The lyrics continue by highlighting the importance of the ladies in the group. They're the reason why they're still in the mix, and they give a shoutout to the VIP section. They want to take you along with them, to embrace the night and forget about everything else. It's a song about letting go, living life to the fullest, and being the only one who truly knows what you want.
