How Much Is The Fish? Lyrics

[Intro: H.P. Baxxter]
The chase is better than the catch

[Verse 1: H.P. Baxxter]
Transforming the tunes
We need your support
If you've got the breath back
It's the first page
Of the second chapter


[Pre-Chorus: H.P. Baxxter]
I want you back for the rhythm-attack
Coming down on the floor like a maniac
I want you back for the rhythm-attack
Get down in full effect
I want you back for the rhythm-attack
Coming down on the floor like a maniac
I want you back, so clean up the dish

[Chorus 1: H.P. Baxxter]
By the way, how much is the fish?
How much is the fish?

Here we go, here we go, here we go again
Yeah!
Sunshine in the Air!
[Verse 2: H.P. Baxxter]
We're breaking the rules
Ignore the machine
You won't ever stop this
The chase is better than the catch

[Pre-Chorus: H.P. Baxxter]
I want you back for the rhythm-attack
Coming down on the floor like a maniac
I want you back for the rhythm-attack
Get down in full effect
I want you back for the rhythm-attack
Coming down on the floor like a maniac
I want you back, so clean up the dish

[Chorus: H.P. Baxxter]
By the way, how much is the fish?
How much is the fish?

Yiiiha!
Sunshine in the Air!

About

Genius Annotation

The german Dance Music Group Scooter is well known for dadaistic techno pop songs with catchy lyrics that makes no sense. “How Much Is The Fish?” is one of their most famous releases.

Another example for lyrics even without real words is Scooter´s Song “Maria (I Like It Loud)”. There H.P. Baxxter and the crowd sing the chorus “Döp döp döp dö dö döp döp döp”.

Wikipedia says:

“How Much Is The Fish?” samples the song “Zeven Dagen Lang” (Seven days long) by the Dutch band Bots.“

This remark is not exactly right. As you can hear, Scooter did not sample this guitar based song, but re-programmed the melody with synthesizers.
