HELLO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SCOOTER IN "DISCO EYLSIUM"
The fact that my favourite "nonsense lyrics music that goes ultra hard" band is in Disco Elysium has made me hootin' and hollering like you can't believe it
Let me show you:
Egghead is 100% based on H.P. Baxxter, the main singer/songwriter of SCOOTER, Germany's most beloved *HARDCORE* rave techno group. Sold over 30 million records and very popular especially in the UK, Netherlands and Eastern Europe, they are a perfect fit for "Disco Elysium"'s vibe.
They count as "happy hardcore" with their creative bonkers lyrics and incredibly catchy music, and several of their lyrics are 1:1 in Disco Elyisum.
SKIBADEE SKIBADANGER is a quote from Scooter's "Maria I like it loud" (2003) (see clip above)
You should scream "HYPER HYPER"" - HYPER HYPER (1994)
"THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE QUESTION" - THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE QUESTION (2007)
"THE FIRST PAGE OF THE SECOND CHAPTER!" - HOW MUCH IS THE FISH? (1998)
"HARDCORE!!!" - Several, most likely ONE (ALWAYS HARDCORE) (2004) (Note, it includes the singer H.P. Baxxter's vocal quirk of singing YEEEEEAAAAGH with a small "gh" at the end, a "YEAGH" instead of "YEAH", which Egghead also has)
"Call Me Mañana" is named after CALL ME MANANA (1999)
"YEKOKATAA! THE PLACE TO BE!" - "Siberia! The place to be!" LOGICAL SONG (2002)
you cannot believe how happy this makes me as a German
my beloved nostalgic bonkers band
PS: Arno van Eyck is also a reference to German DJ Paul van Dyk.
Edit: This will be the master post, I will add more once I find them!)
