"Move Your Ass!" is a song by German band Scooter, released in January 1995, by Club Tools, as the second single from their first studio album, ...and the Beat Goes On! (1995). In October of the same year, a Move Your Ass EP was marketed in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This rave song was a hit in countries such as Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland where it reached the top ten. In France, the song reached number 11.

"Move Your Ass" was the introduction to Scooter in the UK, being the first of their many releases to enter the UK top 40. It was first released there on 1 April 1995, but it stalled at number 98 on the chart before dropping out of the top 100 altogether. It saw a re-release on 21 October 1995, when it entered the UK top 40 and peaked at number 23. It remained in the UK top 100 for four weeks.

Critical reception

James Masterton for Dotmusic named "Move Your Ass!" as a "startlingly retrospective-sounding acid track".^[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Vrrrrrroooooommmmmmmm!!!!! There goes the Vespa again to deliver the follow-up to novelty hit 'Hyper Hyper'. Once more the unchanged winning team performs in a fake live show setting."^[3] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "rabble rousing phonetic exhortations shouted surging fantastically frantic 0–160 3-0bpm raver from Germany".^[2]

Music video
