Scooter do covers, and that's the thing they do great. Basically all their major hits are either plagiarism or cover versions and that's fine by me — it's just the way the band is, they don't pretend. They can do good covers, as long as they are not cheap. In regard to "Whatever You Want" it's clear that the track became good because of Status Quo's original version, and nobody diminishes them, but when Scooter chooses your track for a cover, beware! Everyone will call you outdated this very instant.
I felt enthusiastic about this single as soon as I heard it. Bored by the high-pitched voices produced like on an assembly line, I was thinking the band is not able to make it anymore. But then, when I almost forgot about them, here's the first class gift for ya. Don't care about the value of the song for parties or whatever, it's just purely a terrific song. Simple as that. This may be the reason why the Quo themselves decided to show up together with such youngsters. If you've seen the video, you know how HP with a humuliating smile from above shook a shoulder of some guy from Status Quo, like a patron does his protege. That single shot is a scandal, in my opinion. And Status Quo singing out of lip sync, so stupid, really. Reminds of a treatment that Gary Glitter got from The KLF for the "Gary In The Tardis" bullshit. And that girl in the beginning that said "Why are you making me do all these photos? Yes, I understand you need money to divorse your wife", that's a hilarious start for a video. I'd like to see literal "behind the scenes" to see what happens when they shut the blinders.
