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 ↴
I did all my best to smile
Till your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me, loving into your eyes
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
The opening lines to Scooter's "Sunrise" are a metaphor for the uncertain and unpredictable nature of life. The "floating, shapeless oceans" represent the chaotic and unpredictable events of life. Despite all of this, the singer "did all [their] best to smile," maintaining a positive outlook and attitude toward life. However, it was only until the love of their life, symbolized through the metaphorical "singing eyes and fingers," brought a greater meaning to their existence. Without their lover, life was just aimless wandering without any purpose. The singer is now "waiting to hold" their lover, as if they are the only thing that truly brings meaning and happiness to their life.
The repetition of "here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you" emphasizes the singer's eagerness and longing for their lover. The repetition of this line also creates a sense of urgency and desperation, conveying an intense desire to be reunited with their lover. Overall, "Sunrise" portrays a journey of uncertainty and aimlessness towards a place of connection and purpose.

On the floating, shapeless oceans
In the vast and uncertain world
I did all my best to smile
I tried my hardest to be happy
Till your singing eyes and fingers
But then I met you and was enchanted by your expressive eyes and skilled hands
Drew me, loving into your eyes
And you pulled me towards you with your love and captivating gaze
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
I am here, eager and excited to embrace you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
I am here, patiently and eagerly waiting to hold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
I am here, with open arms, ready to hold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
I am here, filled with anticipation, waiting to hold you
