"Hyper Hyper" is a song by German band Scooter, released in May 1994 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.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}} 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.[http://www.fantazia.org.uk/DJs/ultrasonic.htm Ultrasonic (PA / Old Skool / Rave / Hardcore)] 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.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

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."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Music-and-Media/90s/1994/MM-1994-09-17.pdf|title=New Releases: Singles|magazine=Music & Media|date=September 17, 1994|page=6|access-date=May 13, 2019}} They also described it as "hilarious" and "instantly catchy", noting that the track "deftly fused hardcore with a razor-sharp pop sensibility."{{cite web|title= Airborne |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/90s/1997/MM-1997-06-07.pdf |work= Music & Media |date= June 7, 1997 |page= 21 |access-date= December 8, 2020}}
