Line 3:
Scooter are an electronic music outfit who are a [[Guilty Pleasure]] or are [[So Bad It's Good]] or are [[So Cool It's Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|So Cool Its Awesome]] or are completely appalling, depending on who you ask. Their lyrics are an amusing [[Word Salad Lyrics|word salad]] and it's best not to dwell on what is being shouted by H.P Baxxter during the songs. Trying to decipher what he is shouting about will give you a brain hemorrhage.
They've been around for a surprisingly long time, starting out as a fun loving Happy Hardcore outfit in the early nineties, but have been moving towards hardstyle in the past few years.
Line 32:
=== This band exhibits the following tropes: ===
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]:
** H.P. Baxxter will sometimes yell stuff in his native German.
*** At the end of "Posse (I Need You on the Floor)", he yells "You pigs!".
*** At the end of "Faster Harder Scooter" he declares "You're all insane!".
Line 39:
*** H.P. sings "Am Fenster" completely in German.
** Spanish is occassionally featured in the samples
*** "Call Me Mañana" starts with a Spanish line that translates to something like "The rocks where we were always".
*** The album version of "The Sound Above My Hair" starts with a Spanish radio station's tagline "Sólo éxitos y mas música" (Only hits and more music).
*** "Suavemente" samples some Paul Cless' Spanish language singing.
** The whole chorus of "Ti Sento" is sung in Italian by Antonella Ruggiero.
** "C'est Bleu" has, well, a chorus sung in French by visiting artist Vicky Leandros.
* [[Broken Fanbase]]: An amount of fans wishing either more of jumpstyle music covered in recent albums. Others don't want to hear one more song of it.
Line 53:
* [[I Have Many Names]]: H.P. Baxxter is also known as MC H.P., Dave (from Sheffield), Ice and Candyman, among others.
* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: "Chili bowl". Assuming that's what he's saying anyway.
** It's actually "Chillybow", [[Lyrical Shoehorn|not that it really matters.]]
* [[No Export for You]]: You mustn't take it for granted that the newest Scooter album is published very widely in your country (unless you're an Austrian, German or Swiss).
* [[Once Per Episode]]: A more or less pure instrumental trance track once per album, especially in the later discography
Line 64:
** ''Mashuaia'' in ''The Big Mash Up''
* [[Parody]]: "I'm Raving" is essentially a parody of "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn.
* [[Punctuated!
** "Gothic. Doesn't. Exist. Thank you." <ref>From "Fuck the Millennium".</ref>
* [[Sampling]]: Common given their style. "Wicked Introduction" is to the tune of "Scotland the Brave", and "I'm Raving" has the same song playing in the background. "The Age of Love" samples the theme from [[Terminator|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]].
