一只大蝎子,一直牛 B的乐队。这支德国乐队最初由Rudolf Schenker 在1969年组建,原始阵容:节奏吉他和主唱手Schenker, 主音吉他Karl Heinz Follmer, 贝斯Lothar Heimberg, 鼓手Wolfgang Dziony. 在1971年,Schenker’s的弟弟Michael加盟乐队并成为主音吉他,而他的好友Klaus Meine成为新的主唱手。这支乐队的新阵容在1972录制了单曲“寂寞的乌鸦”,并被用作德国电影Das Kalte Paradies的插曲,但未吸引了公众的注意力。然而年轻的Michael却吸引了当时的摇滚乐队UFO的注意力,于是1973年Michael离开了乐队,成为UFO的主音吉他。他的位置便由Uli Jon Roth接替,在Uli Jon Roth的领导下,蝎子在美国无线电公司(RCA)陆续出了四张专辑Fly To The Rainbow(1974), In Trance(1975), Virgin Killer(1976), 和Taken By Force(1977)。但这些专辑未能引起美国人过多的关注,而是在日本受到了极大的欢迎。可当Taken By Force发行后,Roth却因担心自己的音乐理念与乐队的分歧,离开了乐队重新组建了Electric Sun。可在1978,乐队还是发行了与Roth合作在东京的现场演奏的双碟Tokyo Tapes。在Roth离开后,Michael也因酗酒被踢出了UFO,在1979年又回到刚与Mercury唱片公司签约的蝎子乐队。同年,乐队出专辑Lovedrive并作了第一次巡美演出,然而这次努力并未成功,相反过分性感的封面遭到了美国人的严厉谴责。而Michael 仍是吸毒酗酒,并因此经常错过演奏的时间,Matthias Jabs 便被雇佣替补他未能到席的演出。最终Michael认识到自己的归来不能给乐队带来益处,离开了蝎子。
这时蝎子的新阵容:主唱Klaus Meine,节奏吉他Rudolf Schenker,主音吉他Matthias Jabs,贝斯Francis Bucholz,和鼓手Herman Rarebell在1980年发行了新专辑Animal Magnetism,并作了第二次环球演出。出人意料的是这张专辑竟被美国人接受,成为畅销品。备受鼓舞的蝎子迅速回到录音棚,积极准备他们的下一张新专辑,但好事多磨,这时乐队的主唱Klaus Meine却因要做声带手术,延迟了新专辑的出炉。于是关于Klaus Meine将被解聘和重金属歌手Don Dokken已代他的流言四起。但1982年Klaus Meine的归队,和新专辑Blackout的发行,使纷纷扬扬的流言不攻自破。这张专辑获得了巨大的成功,仅在美国一地就卖出了一百多万张的白金记录,而专辑中的那首"No One Like You."更是脍炙人口。而1984年的新专辑 Love At First Sting使其一举成为世界顶级乐队,其中的MTV单曲"Rock You Like A Hurricane"更是家喻户晓,获得了双白金的殊荣。接着乐队又作了环球演出,展示了他们活力四射,火爆疯狂的现场表演。
但继1985的专辑World Wide Live发行后,乐队沉寂了两年。他们的第十张由录音棚制作的专辑Savage Amusement在1988年问世,其中的主打歌曲"Rhythm of Love"更是业绩不凡,使一度销声匿迹的乐队再一次取得了极大的成功。

Humanity
Auf wiedersehen it's time to say goodbye
The party's over as the last good dies and angel cries
Humanity,
It's au revoir to your insanity
You sold your soul to feed your melodies, your fantasies and lies
You are a drop in the rain,
Just a number not a name
You won't see it
You don't believe it
At the end of the day
You are a needle in the hay
You signed and sealed it
And now you gotta deal with it
Humanity humanity
Good bye
Be on your way
Adios amigo
There's a price to pay
For all the idiotistic games you played
The world you made is gone
You are a drop in the rain,
Just a number not a name
You won't see it
You don't believe it
At the end of the day
You are a needle in the hay
You signed and sealed it
And now you gotta deal with it
Humanity humanity
Good bye
In your eyes
I'm staring at the end of time
Nothing can change us
No one can save us from ourselves
You are a drop in the rain,
Just a number not a name
You won't see it
You don't believe it
At the end of the day
You are a needle in the hay
You signed and sealed it
And now you gotta deal with it
