** Also, the line just before that section, "We want to say a big shout to US!", isn't referring to America. US stands for Ultra-Sonic, the band whose song "Annihilating Rhythm (Do You Love Your Hardcore?)" was the inspiration for "Hyper Hyper".

Hyper"
** The band has so many shout-outs to the KLF, they're practically a tribute act. Just off the top of my head: "Weekend" begins with the horns from "America: What Time Is Love?", and the line "Respect to the man in the ice cream van!" refers to the KLF's "...and they drive an ice cream van" from "Justified and Ancient". "Imaginary Battle" samples the line "Take me, uh-huh" from "Church of the KLF". The shout of "3 AM!" at the beginning of Nessaja is taken from the KLF's "3 AM Eternal". The last line of "Aiii Shot The DJ" is "Kick out the jams!", a phrase the KLF also used in their original incarnation as the JAMs ("Kick out the JAMs!"). "Fuck The Millenium" begins with machine gun fire from "3 AM Eternal", has H.P. introduce himself as "The Candyman", a song from the second KLF album (when they were the JAMs). H.P. also uses the phrase "Furthermore known as..." in a way similar to the KLF's "Furthermore known as the JAMs" from "Last Train to Trancentral". And, of course, the song's title is taken from the KLF song "Fuck The Millenium". And that's just off the top of my head. Seeing a pattern here?

Scooter are an electronic music outfit who are a GuiltyPleasure or are SoBadItsGood or are [[{{SugarWiki/Ptitleh7wzr92t4un4}} So Cool It's Awesome]] or are completely appalling, depending on who you ask. Their lyrics are an amusing [[WordSaladLyrics 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.

!!This band exhibits the following tropes:

* BilingualBonus: 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!" in German, and at the end of "Faster Harder Scooter" he declares "You're all insane!". "Call Me Mañana" starts with a Spanish line that translates to something like "The rocks where we were always".
* ClusterFBomb: The song "Fuck the Millennium".
* CoverVersion: Unique in that they don't do "straight-up" covers, but rather take a song and turn it into a "happy hardcore" song, with random shouting inserted. Some of their covers include "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol and "The Logical Song" by {{Supertramp}}, though the latter only covers the chorus.
* ForeignSoundingGibberish: What exactly does "lakierski materialski" (from "Posse (I Need You on the Floor)" mean anyway?
* InherentlyFunnyWords: "Chili bowl". Assuming that's what he's saying anyway.
* {{Parody}}: "I'm Raving" is essentially a parody of "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn.
* {{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]].
