THE BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

To compliment my recently completed ‘1000 BEST SONGS LIST,’ here is another that just missed the cut.

1033-Scooter-Nessaja.
2002-Number 4 single.
Best Bit-At 0.50.The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may be more famous worldwide,but they never had a song this good named in their honour, but the wise old German Turtle Nessaja has.
H.P.Baxter, and Rick J.Jordan met in Hanover,Germany in 1985,initially forming the Synthpop/New Wave outfit ‘Celebrate the Nun,’ one of their main influences were Depeche Mode.Fast forward eight years, and two Albums later, the duo dramatically change style moving into ‘Happy Hardcore’, Rave, and Techno.To date they have sold over 30 million records worldwide (see also best songs 437 and 144.)
‘Nessaja’ samples the 1983 song ‘Nessaja’ by Romanian Rock musician Peter Makkay,his version was written for his children’s Rock Album ‘Tabaluga,’the story of a little green dragon of the same name.This project became so popular that it went onto be made into a Television series,film,and a Musical.One of the main characters is the turtle named Nessaja, and Makkays’ version plays over the end credits of the T.V. programmes.Scooters version also samples the KLF’s 1991 song ‘Last Train to Trancentral,’ Scooter are heavily influenced by the KLF (see also best songs 329.). The late Scottish singer Gerry Rafferty is also given a song writing credit for the use of ‘Baker Street'(see also best songs 61) being sampled,but try as hard as I can,I can’t hear it at all.
‘It’s not a bird,it’s not a plane,it must be Dave, who’s on the train.’
