music
The intro definition is the well-known minuet by Luigi Boccherini from the String Quintet op. 13, No. 5. In addition, a female-sounding computer voice reads the English Wikipedia article “Jumping”.
The next song, Jumping All Over the World , uses a sample of A Glass of Champagne by the British pop group Sailor , as well as the melody of "Rock Civilization" by the Dutch hardstyle DJ Headhunterz . A childlike voice sings the refrain to a jumpstyle beat, while H. P. Baxxter acts as MC , imitating the beat of Zany & Tatanka's work "Front 2 Back".
The Question Is What Is the Question? is an adaptation of the song How Do You Do by the Dutch group Mouth & MacNeal from 1972. The chorus of the song is pitched and sung in a distorted manner and supplemented with spoken chants typical of Scooter.
Enola Gay uses the basic melody of Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark 1980s hit Enola Gay to a techno beat and the often repeated phrase Hardstyle , Baby , interrupted by a sung refrain.
Neverending Story is a cover version of Limahl's Neverending Story . Giorgio Moroder wrote this song as the theme song for the 1984 film adaptation of Michael Ende's The Neverending Story .
And No Matches uses the chorus from the 1998 hit single Big, Big World by Swede Emilia . The text has been changed to fit the Jumpstyle theme .
Cambodia , English for Cambodia , consists of the basic melodies of Kim Wilde 's song of the same name from 1981. A driving jumpstyle beat can also be heard. No vocals are used for this.
I'm Lonely is largely a cover of the jumpstyle piece Lonely by the Belgian-Dutch techno trio Felix Project . In the slow parts, a song is sung with piano accompaniment.
Whistling Dave uses the melody of Korobeiniki , a Russian folk song made famous by the game Tetris .
Marian (Version) is a cover version of the 1985 song Marian by the English rock band The Sisters of Mercy . The song is quieter and darker than the previous ones and doesn't use a jumpstyle beat.
Lighten Up the Sky is a hard, energetic hardstyle piece and draws on the melody of the trance track "Torrent" by Dave 202.
The last song before the outro, The Hardcore Massive , samples the track Fuck the System by the Dutch DJ duo Showtek .
The outro The Greatest Difficulty again consists of Boccherini's minuet.
