In May 2016, in response to increased popularity from a mention on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, H.P Baxxter answered the question about "How much is the fish?" on the Scooter Facebook page, revealing that "the fish" was actually the one they bought for their studio aquarium, and it cost 3.80 DM (1.94 €).[2]
Samples
"How Much Is the Fish?" interpolates the song "Zeven Dagen Lang" (Seven days long) by the Dutch band Bots. The melody originates from the traditional Breton song Son ar Chistr played on Alan Stivell's 1970 album Reflets. The title is derived from lyrics in the song "Buffalo" by Anglo-Irishindie group Stump, taken from the 1986 mini-album Quirk Out. The background music sample comes from the album version of the song "Paradoxx" from the German band 666.
