Move Your Ass!


"Move Your Ass!" is a song by the German band Scooter. It was released in January 1995 as the second single from their first studio album ...and the Beat Goes On!. In October of the same year, a Move Your Ass EP was marketed in United Kingdom and Ireland.
This rave song was a hit in countries such as Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland where it reached the top ten. In France, the song reached #11.
“Move Your Ass” was the introduction to Scooter in the UK, being the first of their many releases to enter the UK top 40.
Originally it was released on the 1st of April 1995, but it stalled at a lowly number 98 in the chart. The following week it was out of the UK top 100 altogether.
“Move Your Ass” saw a UK re-release on the 21st of October 1995 where it entered the UK top 40 chart at number 23. The following week the single slipped two places to number 25, before starting a slippery decline, tumbling twenty places to its lowest position of number 55. It remained in the UK top 100 for four weeks only and dipped out of the 100 altogether the following week.
