Scooter – Which Light Switch is Which?

[Retro]

This hardcore trance raver from 2019 is an addictive listen. I especially like the 9+ minute remix as it sounds epic and the extended playtime means more of having what I like. Also, the only lyrics in it are the dreamy backing vocals.

Almost all of Scooters tracks are something like this and generally sound a bit mental, lol. Going for 30+ years, it's worth checking this band out and perhaps posting your favourite songs.

First the remix by Red Child:

And now the original, with the official video. It's only a radio length 3:25 unfortunately though.

Here's the official extended version, which actually sounds somewhat different to the short version. See which one you like better, but they're both good.

I love Scooter! And what a great remix by Zozyblue.
Scooter has been on my radar since the 90s, and they are very well known in my home country, The Netherlands.

A popular Dutch series is New Kids, a show about a group of stereotypically Brabandic (North Brabant, being a province that's known for its rather simple yet festive spirit) young men whose lives revolve pretty much around partying and drinking beer. The humor in this show is similar to that of the portrayal of Vyvyian in The Young Ones, destroying an unreasonable amount of things, just for the heck of it. Later the series spawned two feature films, which have been exported to Germany where they also gained sort of a cult following, and Scooter being German themselves decided to collaborate with them, resulting in this:

What I like about it is that it doesn't take itself too seriously, with also Scooter in this clip being seen as having some self irony, with the music being comically pumped up, even for Scooter's usual standards.

In one of my videos two of the characters of New Kids also made a (very) brief cameo at the 1:09 mark. You just gotta have an explosion in your work sometimes.

I like that video, it's such a parody! The bit where he gets run over at the start is unexpected and hilarious. I really like comedy music videos, especially when they're done well like this.

The song is classically Scooter and absolutely mental lol. Could they play any faster?! What's the bpm, like 200 or something? Love it.

The getting hit by a car thing is a running gag in the New Kids series. In every episode/movie it happens at least once. It's their version of "Oh my god they killed Kenny".

Haha and yeah. 190~200, you're pretty spot on there.

Found this remix. It's not as good as the other versions, but is still worth a listen. Unfortunately, it's very short at 2:49.
