Scooter - C/D?

!!

One great Scooter thing is they released a single "Back in the UK", and then realised they were way more popular in Ireland, so they re- released it as "Back in Ireland".

Yeah.

Their cover of "Rebel Yell" is boomtastic.

i did secretly like 'Move Your Ass' tho, and i am intrigued by the 'rebel yell' cover

This one is going out to everybody in the place!
Sounds of the track attacker!
Go ahead!
Yes!
Here comes the chicks Terminator!
In Control!
Aaaggrhh!
'Pon the mic I'm the teacher!
Spead my words like a preacher!
Cut the crap! Get the slap!
Drum'n'Bass still on the map!
'Pon the mic you can't stop me!
Flat on your back like one, two, three! Yeah!
Here we come!

Terrific! I'm going to get this ASAP.

Alright, crew! It's weeeeeeeekeeeeeeeeeend!
Yes!
We're not the monkeys, but we've got the key!
I'm the fast chatter - no one's better than me!
Yeeeah!

And the chorus comes from Weekend by Dutch Seventies band Earth & Fire. If I'm a good Dutchman at all, I should support this!

I mean, there are very few things to be proud of if you come from Sheffield, but this is just taking the piss.

Ah! So THAT's where it comes from...I've been trying to remember what it was for some time. And the looped synth line underneath Baxters MCing in Weekend! is lifted from Push Strange World 2000. That aside, ever heard the original Nessaja by Peter Maffay?

The (x-rated) video for Weekend! is rediculously amusing and disturbing at the same time, I'm sure I've mentioned it on some other thread.

Maybe better. Their 24 Carat Gold singles compilation from last year is all you need, the first 24 singles in decreasing chronological order:

01. Nessaja
02. The Logical Song
03. Aiii Shot The DJ
04. Posse (I Need You On The Floor)
05. She's The Sun
06. I´m Your Pusher
07. Fuck The Millennium
08. Faster Harder Scooter
09. Call Me Mañana
10. I Was Made For Lovin' You
11. We Are The Greatest
12. How Much Is The Fish?
13. No Fate
14. The Age Of Love
15. Fire
16. Break It Up
17. I´m Raving
18. Rebel Yell
19. Let Me Be Your Valentine
20. Back In The U.K.
21. Endless Summer
22. Friends
23. Move Your Ass!
24. Hyper Hyper

For my birthday I got a double Scooter DVD which made me very happy.

That's what I mean. Does comedy act have negative implications? I suppose it does.

This way to the 'tartan techno' revival, eh? If Scooter are acceptable, whither QFX?

is that the KLF tune? Mad buzz.

i'd forgotten all about that one

New album! Anyone heard this yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlPO6cGX0Ds

Dude that's up there with French & Saunders' "C'est la Vie" in the "tunes that equal the awesomeness of the genre they're skitting" stakes.

If you've never heard that Geir I think you'll like it.

Audience laughter is bollocks tho.

Sorry, the audience laughter is really fucking annoying. As a pastiche I've always thought that song is up there with Neil Innes' Beatles clones.

I still love this one.

It's all about Back in the UK:

Once again! We have the plan! Driving you wild! As good as we can!

The best bit is where he pops out a doorway at 1.08 and goes "c'mon!".

"Fire" is pretty rad. I love the guitar riff in it.

HARDER FASTER SCOOOOOOTER

the new single

That scooter skit is brilliant.

this however is painfully unfunny.

we played "how much is the fish?" on the lollards of pop two weeks ago --

http://freakytrigger.co.uk/lollards-podcast/2008/01/freaky-trigger-and-the-lollards-of-pop-series-2-week-7/

although apparently we meant to play "does the fish have chips?"!!

The spoof interview is indeed pretty painful. The should have done s.th. like that tiesto takeoff on youtube where someone put subtitles over an interview he did "I can't beleieve you fuckers still buy this shit - helenekeller can play piano better than me" etc

the music one is funny b/c the lyrics "jesus turning water into ecstacy/st peter is the dj and he's smoking a reefer" aren't far removed from the real thing.

...pointing out the bleeding obvious being something I'm very good at & all that.

We were talking about them in the pub the other day. SIBERIA!

Does The Fish Have Chips is pretty much exactly 50% Firestarter and 50% Song 2, I admire their brazen theft.

It's better than both those songs as well. Well, funnier at least.

So, new album out with free greatest hits CD attached, number two in the midweeks, Dancing All Over The World - is it any good?

Two titans meet.

Scooter vs. Status Quo.

Yes.

surely you mean "Yeah".

YEE-UH!

is what I mean. This appears to have annoyed Gordon Smart, too. good.

Gordon Smart's annoyed by sitting at the bottom of the charts like a twig.

woo. that's very different to the album version.

I can't believe ILX isn't making more of a fuss about this Scooter/Quo thing...

Well, you know, ILx doesn't seem that interested in pop any more, except the kind of pop that was hip when this thread was started...

Francis told me last night: “Quo belong in the charts and playing live gigs. This is a chance for a new generation to hear our music.

“It’s like AEROSMITH getting a kickstart from rappers RUN DMC in the 1980s on Walk This Way.”

The band consists of MICHAEL SIMON, HP BAXXTER and RICK J JORDAN.

They sound like a collection of men responsible for this rubbish.

In May MADONNA’s Hard Candy was knocked from the top of the album chart by their CD Jumping All Over The World.

Sounds a bit like another Quo hit, Rocking All Over The World.

Hard Candy now going for £4 new in Woolies.

We had more discussion on the new Scooter album on this other thread:

I aint in to modern re mixes of old songs but this is a quality re mix as its got a great beat fit women and some cool american muscle cars. What more do you need in a video. A classic....

Okay I just find Scooter completely, utterly irresistible.
