"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]} 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.^[1] 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]}

Critical reception[edit]

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."^[2] They also described it as "hilarious" and "instantly catchy", noting that the track "deftly fused hardcore with a razor-sharp pop sensibility."^[3]
