"The Sound Above My Hair" (Official video) on YouTube |
"The Sound Above My Hair" is the third single release from the Scooter album Under the Radar Over the Top, following "J'adore Hardcore" and "Ti Sento". "The Sound Above My Hair" was first performed live at The Dome 52. The track used in the single was taken from a sample of "Wonderful Life" by the English alternative rock band Black. H. P. Baxxter uses Auto-Tune effect while singing.
The music video premiered on YouTube on 12 November 2009. The video features the members of Scooter riding around the German town of Wernigerode, where they travel around on a Czech military truck Praga V3S with giant speakers attached. The band on the truck attracts people from all over the town that follow the truck as it rides. They are accompanied by scantily clad female bagpipe players, and end up at Wernigerode Castle, where they have a crowd dancing and cheering to the song. A military truck was rented, and the video was shot on location in Wernigerode. Scooter allowed bystanders to be extras in the final scene of the video, where there is a crowd of many people dancing. The music video appeared on Clubland TV on 17 November 2009, and on 18 November the U.K. distributor of Scooter's music All Around the World uploaded the video to their YouTube channel, suggesting it would be the next UK single. This surprised many people as they were expecting "Ti Sento" to be the next UK single. On 24 November, Kontor uploaded an extended version of the video to YouTube, however marked it as a private video. The video was removed several hours later, and uploaded again on 26 November, again as a private video, but this time with a message on Scooter's official website that the video would be released on 27 November. The video was released later that morning.
