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.

Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything around us falls down
I just wanna tell you right to your face
I don't think I need that in my life tonight
So when I wake up will you still be there
Cause all my life you act like you don't care
Well it's a party on the weekend
And we be poppin' bottles for no reason
And I can't even tell you what I'm thinkin' tonight
Our time is gone
So I don't think we can help each other
And I don't wanna know
If you think you found another
And it's okay cause I don't care
I wish your love could be more fair
I don't wanna tell you no
I think we're heading down that road
Stumbling in I been losing my shit we do this over and over again
I know that you hate my problems
So every night I drown in my sorrows
Well this addy got me geekin'
I'm scared but I'm searching for a meanin'
See I don't even care how much that we spend
I can't even tell you what I'm thinkin' tonight
My time ain't long
So I think we should fuck each other
Get on to set it off
But I know you found another
And it's okay cause I don't care
I'm spillin' Jacky on the Moncler
I don't wanna fall in love
But I don't think I've had enough
Molly make me open up
I spill my cup
I'm not enough for you at all
Tell me why it hurts so much
To open up
I'm out of luck
Cause you never call
Well it's a party on the weekend
And we be poppin' bottles for no reason
And I'm goin head first off the deep end
And I can't even tell you what I'm thinkin' tonight
Our time is gone
So I don't think we can help each other
And I don't wanna know
If you think you found another
The lyrics of Scooter's song Weekend! are a poignant portrayal of a relationship's downfall. It starts with the singer questioning their partner's commitment to love them through old age and hardship, while also affirming their need for space from the toxicity in their current situation. The chorus is a contradiction, as it appears to reject the pain caused by the relationship by delving into excess and recklessness. The singer seems to find temporary solace in drug use (Molly) and alcohol (Jacky), fantasizing about letting go entirely with their somber thoughts lost in the party's noise.
