The BBC reports that Scooter have kicked Madonna off the top of the UK album charts. Scooter's new album is called Jumping All Over The World.The album includes covers of 'Enola Gay' (originally by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark), 'Neverending Story' (originally by Limahl), and a song called 'Marian' which might be a cover of the Sisters of Mercy classic but probably is not. It is not clear whether the title track contains elements from Status Quo's 'Rockin' All Over The World' (itself a cover of a John Fogarty tune, according to Wikipedia). Other tracks include 'The Hardcore Massive', 'The Question Is What Is The Question', and 'Cambodia!'.

ReplyDelete"Whistling Dave" is such a great song title... it's like Scooter are writing songs about the people they keep meeting in clubs.
