"Hyper Hyper" is a song by German band Scooter, released in May 1994 by Club Tools and Scorpio Music as the first single from their debut album, ... and the Beat Goes On! (1995). It was sold in three versions: two of the versions had the same track listings, but different covers. The song was one of the most successful dance hits of 1994. The original "Hyper Hyper" quotes were taken from Ultra-Sonic's 1993 track "Annihilating Rhythm (Do you love your hardcore?)", licensed to Low Spirit Records/Polydor. Ultra-Sonic receive a "big shout" in the lyrics of the song, as do a further thirty DJs who were popular in Germany in the mid-1990s.
Background and release
At a party in Hamburg, Scooter improvised on an instrumental house track. Band member H.P. Baxxter started mentioning the names of his favourite DJs and then yelled the buzz words Hyper Hyper. Through its instant success that night, they decided to record this joke. Edel/Club Tools dance product manager Jens Thele told Music & Media, "We're aware it sounds very German, but we never cut it with that intention. But since the European success of Mo-Do's 'Eins Zwei Polizei', it's very likely to spread out as well. With K2's 'Der Berg Ruft' you can almost speak of a wave of similar hits."
Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "In the wake of massive successes by DJs-turned-performers such as Marusha, Sven Väth, Westbam and Jam & Spoon, a new star is born. Produced by, a highly successful remixer collective, all ingredients are present to emulate the success of the aforementioned." They also described it as "hilarious" and "instantly catchy", noting that the track "deftly fused hardcore with a razor-sharp pop sensibility."
Music video
The accompanying music video for "Hyper Hyper" was directed by Plastic Reality. It was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in October 1994.
