2) Scooter was a Belgian pop band from Antwerp, originally formed in 1979 under the name Scooter on the Road. The band released the singles "Tattoo Turkey" and "Peppermint Girl" in 1981. Guitarist Jan Fraeyman was replaced by Bert Decorte from The Misters following Fraeyman's terminal illness. Fraeyman passed away shortly after the release of their debut album "One by One" in 1981. The band achieved significant success in Belgium with the song "You (Don't Want to Be Number One)", which won the Summerhit of 1981 award presented by the Flemish broadcaster Radio 2. The album "One by One" was produced by the band’s drummer Herwig Duchateau, who later became known for his production work with groups such as The Bet, Schmutz, Won Ton Ton, and The Machines. Following Decorte’s departure, Jan Verheyen joined as guitarist. The group went on to release the albums "Charm" and "Oblivion", featuring songs such as "Will I Ever Recover from You" (1982), "Stand Out" (1982), and "Minute by Minute" (1983). In 1982, keyboard player Pit Verlinde left the band shortly after the release of "Charm".
