music

MC's Missing (A MC is missing) is an intro that with the Ansagetonsignal an airport or train station to the tune of the great bell of Big Ben starts to sound followed by a siren and a voice "MC's missing" repeats. The intro turns into Gimme the Funk , a quiet downbeat song.

The third song, I'm Your Pusher, is a sing-along song that consists largely of the calls of H. P. Baxxter singing something and the crowd singing it. The piece samples the melody of Flieger, greet with the sun (Allan Gray & Walter Reisch 1932), which was made famous by Hans Albers . Among other things, it is played with a bagpipe .

Sex Dwarf is a cover for the British band Soft Cell . She's the Sun starts with an Asian intro and then turns into a calm, ballad-like song.

Summer Wine is a piece with acoustic guitar sounds and calm percussion . It was originally released as a duet by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra in 1967. The Scooter album features a duet between H. P. Baxxter and the longtime Scooter background singer Nikk .
