Thing is, Germany and Europe in general have a rave culture the americans can only dream about. Detroit techno wasn't accepted in Detroit but Berliners had the places and the people and shit went wild. Such positive free vibes of unity and love (The movie "Human Traffic" portraits this perfectly).Respect to the man in the icecream van!
That's the german spirit. We can take anything we want and turn it to gold... we can even produce a whole song out of one simple question. Cheers Scooter... the song is great.. especially easy to sing along when you're hammered
To all critics: Scooters have created their own brand, are distinctive and have been successfully on the market for years. Only a few create such a thing. Although I'm not a scooter fan, but impressed by their success. The productions create a good mood for me. I find Scooter's music very funny and entertaining. Scooter's answer video is awesome.😂
@@magicmulder more like samples... But still so good techno in so many different types of electro and nearly always with a kick to change my mood in a positive way
@@indeingesicht8280 Von Danzig gefällt mir nur ein Lied, Bloc Party hat hat ein gutes Album. Dennoch ist das alles besser als das was Scooter gemacht hat. Handofblood zu schauen und diese widerlichen Stimme dauerhaft zu ertragen zeugt auch nicht gerade von gutem Geschmack :) Es soll ja leider auch Leute geben, die einen Müll wie Tanzverbot oder MontanaBlack feiern.
I had the chance to see him live past summer in a festival with a “secret headliner“ concert... I never was a particular fan, but the whole atmosphere in this crowd?? Damn it was incredible. Also, german humour is pragmatic and very dry. I would say, american humour is loud and oily.
Been listening to him since i realized i am alive i had the chance to go on his concert this year for haloween he came to my city it was freaking awesome
Äh... ausgerechnet f__ing Scooter? Da gibt's bessere Musikexporte aus Deutschland, für die man sich zum Glück auch nicht schämen muss: Kraftwerk, Can, Einstürzende Neubauten und von mir aus auch Rammstein. Aber der Kindergarten-Techno von Scooter gehört auf die Müllkippe der Kulturgeschichte
I am pretty sure H.P. Baxxter(singer) is talkin about "fishbone-cocain"-short-"fish", which was pretty much the best available in the 90's. So he is actually making fun of Jimmy Fallon, who doesen't know what he is talking about at all.
Been listening to scooter for 20 years now pretty much everyday for some reason they give me a positive energy and push me through some crazy times. Thank you H.P. #therealmc
I once heard that the nonsensical lyrics are mostly old techno references.. like "respect to the man in the ice cream van" was a shout out to the E dealer
0:22 The reference to a timelord is spot on as Scooter often made references to multiple songs from The KLF, who have also used the pseudonym The Timelords.
Thank you. Now I finally know how much the fish was.. I‘ve been wondering for years! Seriously, nobody listens to Scooter because of the great lyrics- it‘s just music and beats to dance to!
The melody in the chorus is a veeery old celtic song that was then covered in Dutch and German by a Dutch band and then Scooter came along. I love all versions honestly 😂
I can't believe Jimmy Fallon covered this band and this song. I found it on my own many moons ago and loved it. Who cares about the lyrics in a pop song? Take a look at the Top 100 dance charts in the US last 20 years. See amazing lyrics in all those hits?
Because the lyrics from all of american music are so great.... they have sold over 30 million records and earned over 80 Gold and Platinum awards. Just because it isn't popular in america, or you don't like it, dosent mean others won't
The lyrics are still ridiculous. Even Germans make fun of them. I don't think Scooter are taking themselves too seriously either, as the video shows. ;)
LolloRosso Scooter nailed it to every we love 90's Concert in Danmark, totally packed with People, and there Concert in Europe is often sold out, so just make fun
Claus P That's a matter of taste. The music industry in the United States is much bigger than that of a country like Germany. Not everyone likes the genres that you like, just like you don't seem to like a lot of artists from the United States. It's fine. There's enough music for everyone. :) P.S. I wasn't really ridiculing them, just pointing out that their lyrics are not very profound. As a kid in the '90s, I listened to plenty of techno, and I sometimes still listen to the music I grew up on, for the sake of nostalgia. I generally think that bashing anyone for their musical taste is pretty childish.
First time I heard it on the radio, I thought how do they get away with the lyrics? But it ended up being quite a popular song on th radio, tv and at parties 😆
German music in the 90s and early 2000s was weird but great at the same time. Not just about asking how much a fish costs, but also about beards, riding your bicycle, men being disgusting, abbreviations, not being able to find a parking lot or chain-link fencing...I miss these days xD
I always wanted to know the reaction about one of my favorite bands in childhood. Listen also "Endless Summer" and "friends". Epic 90s EuroDance hits staying month in the charts
I definitely think that Scooter made an impact in America and I'm glad to hear that the U.S. Posse is on the rise. Welcome to the most intense sound you'll ever hear 😬
amateuers.. trying to find sense in the lyrics of scooter songs.. germans stopped doing that in 1995!
"Respect to the man in the icecream-van!"
who cares if the lyrics dont make sense, Scooter are the most successful German music act since 1970.

Simon Cowell can't sing at all but he was a judge in x factor and all that :p so
Jesus Jimmy Fallon. You know you're out of ideas for your show when you take a song from the 90s and make fun of it.
Pretty sure this song wasnt a hit in the states tho. usually people send in the songs they want to see on the show because nobody heard of it.
@@Lunatick666 that's true, but I never said it was.

Scooter actually has some bangers when you listen them in the right mood!
I once passed by H.P. Baxxter in person at the hotel where I used to work. His perfume smelled so good, it changed my opinion on Scooter forever :D
what people think German culture is like : Nazis, Hitler, Bratwurst, Beer, Oktoberfest, Dirndl , Lether pants
what it actually is:

Makes me proud since H.P is a huge UK fan. He doesn't call himself "Dave from Sheffield" for no reason :)
tbh this is already ridiculous if you are german, cant imagine how it feels to american and british people xD
Nadine Chen Das ist garnicht ridiculous, das ist geil.

Lol they expected the song to get made fun of. The song got the whole audience turnt
If you go to a concert you feel the music and the Energy.
Its actually pretty dope
Scooter was super popular all over the Europe back then.
Poland, Germany, Czech, Russia etc
And still got a big fanbase😅
And they still making such a good music...
Don't make fun of the holy scooter!
My advice: Whatever you do in life- Respect to the man in the ice cream van.
Im from europe and scooter is legend in my country :D
Actually I was at their concert couple of weeks ago, it was amazing
I'm from The Netherlands 🇳🇱🧡 and I know Scooter for about 25 years now 😂
I once heard that the nonsensical lyrics are mostly old techno references.. like "respect to the man in the ice cream van" was a shout out to the E dealer
No, it was a shout out to the KLF.
Basically EVERY Scooter song is a reference or tribute to The KLF, aka the JAMMS, aka the Timelords, also known as the justified ancients of Mu Mu.
How dare scooter, this high amount of sexuality and violence like in American Rap naturally has, is too much for everyones ears. 😂
There's a great segment missing from Jimmy's show...artist responses to his Do Not Play bits.

Scooter is the legendary band from the 90's and I love How Much is the Fish?, The Age of Love, Call Me Maniana, Hyper Hyper etc.
What's funny is I have this song and have been listening to this for a few years now. They have a few other good songs as well.
e few?? bro, they are AMAZING
Brilliant if you own a Vauxhall Nova, live in 2002 and are trying to impress your 15 year old girlfriend in McDonald's car park.
Scooter exists for 27 years... so I would say they have more than a couple of good songs
