"I'm Raving" is a song by German group Scooter. It was released in September 1996 as the lead single from their album Wicked! The song is based on the 1992 Shut Up and Dance track "Raving I'm Raving", which is itself based significantly on the 1991 single "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn. Several lyrics were altered including the line "I'm walking in Memphis" becoming "I'm raving, I'm raving".
The song features a sample of the Scottish traditional song "Scotland the Brave".
