"'Friends'" is a song by the German group Scooter. It was released in May 1995 as the third single from their first album, '... and the Beat Goes On!' (1995). The song was covered in 2009 by Klostertaler, for a Scooter tribute album. In April 2011, an updated version of the original, entitled "Friends Turbo", was released as the theme to the German release of the film 'New Kids Turbo'.[http://scootertechno.com/gb-9-2-2-2-News.html#77 Friends Turbo] ScooterTechno.com

The song is notable as the first example of the band using high pitched female vocals for the chorus of a song. The band also used this on the follow-up single "Endless Summer" before abandoning it until "Posse (I Need You on the Floor)" in 2001, after which it became a staple of most Scooter singles.

Critical reception



Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' wrote, "It seems like they have the exclusive rights to "novelty." After nonsensical Hyper Hyper and Move Your Ass, you would swear that Daffy Duck has been asked to do the lead vocals."

Music video



The accompanying music video for the song was filmed in Paris.

The music video for the release of "Friends Turbo" was filmed on location in Maaskantje.
