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).

We Are the Greatest
Scooter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There will be Scooter in the house
We gonna rock you tonight
And the incredible H.P. is gonna
Make you feel right

There is Ricky on the case and
Wicked Axel too
So come on join the party

Make your body move

All those sexy girls are dancing
To the beat on the floor
And the crazy guys are freaking out
Like never before

Turn up the volume
And make the speakers blast
Move your body to the rhythm
Like this day is your last

ThereÂ´s a party in the place
And youÂ´ll be rock it tonight
So bring your body with you baby
And I make you feel right

ItÂ´s a pretty celebration of a
Natural kind
And a pleasure your experience
Will blow your mind

Everybody will be dancing to
The beat on the floor
You really come to situations never
Part of before

Satisfaction guaranteed if you
Know what I mean
And if you walk in through that door
ItÂ´s such a freaky scene
Expecting More From Ratty

I canÂ´t change
I just want to do it
On the microphone just get into it
Come on tonight from left to right
Everybody now get ready for the night

Tough like steel and dangerous
We gonna rock the house, itÂ´s still like this
No time to chill so keep on moving
Get into the place, MC is groving

Expecting more from Ratty

As a matter of fact
In '92
I canÂ´t explain
ItÂ´s up to you

If you know what I mean itÂ´s the freaky scene
And things have changed a lot in between
So come on tonight and let them go
For those about who left the show

I recommend to join the case
The last call to rock the place

Expecting more from Ratty
