During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine took control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive (1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting (1984), the live recording World Wide Live (1985), Savage Amusement (1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads (1989), and Crazy World (1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached No. 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands. One of their most recognized hits is "Wind of Change" (from Crazy World), a symbolic anthem of the political changes in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Two of the songs on their ninth studio album Love at First Sting, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Still Loving You", are regarded as some of the most influential and popular works, both in heavy metal music and among rock ballads, defined as "rock anthem" and "a true hymn of love".

Turn You On
Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And scream if you like it
The world out there disappears
Tell me are you excited
So let's rattle and roll and shake
The sweat hits the ceiling
Tonight we will slip away
Beyond the point of no return
The fever's rising 'till we'll crash and burn
There's something in my veins that is thicker than blood
Nothing in the world this is all we've got
So come on
If you wanna feel the sting
Come on come on come on come on
Come on baby shake that thing
I gonna turn you on
Yeah let's celebrate all night
We're starting all over
You turn me into a wild
And hard Rock'n'Roller
Into the light out of the dark
A passion never known invades my heart
The universe is rocking like heaven and hell
If I'm coming back hard to tell
So come on
If you wanna feel the sting
Come on come on come on come on
Come on baby shake that thing
Mama mama mama rock on
And let the show begin
I wanna turn you on
So come on
If you wanna feel the sting
Come on come on come on come on
Come on baby shake that thing
Mama mama mama rock on
And feel the sting
Come on come on come on come on
And let the show begin
I gonna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
