Our Happy Hardcore


Our Happy Hardcore is the second studio album by German dance group Scooter. The European release date for the album was 28 March 1996.
Three singles were released from the album, starting with "Back in the U.K." in November 1995 and "Let Me Be Your Valentine" in February 1996. The final single, a cover version of the Billy Idol song "Rebel Yell", followed in May 1996. The mostly instrumental "Crank It Up" is notable for its use as the theme tune for the Bruno segments in Da Ali G Show.
Followed by the success of the debut album "...And The Beat Goes On", this album continues the experimenting of happy hardcore and ravestyles.
