"Kernkraft 400" (English: Nuclear Power 400) is a song performed by German techno musician Zombie Nation and the first single from the 1999 debut album, Leichenschmaus . It is a remix of the SID track "Star Dust" by David Whittaker, from his 1984 Commodore 64 game Lazy Jones . Though permission for the sampling was not initially granted, Whittaker was paid an undisclosed sum from Zombie Nation. [2]

Contents

Issued as a single in October 1999, "Kernkraft 400" peaked at number 22 in Germany in February 2000 and became a top-10 hit in Flanders and the Netherlands several months later. In September, the song debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, remaining there for two weeks, and has received a platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales and streams of at least 600,000 units. In the United States, the song peaked at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

"Kernkraft 400" is commonly used as a sports chant at sport stadiums (such as in American football, Association football, baseball, basketball, and hockey) all over the world and was ranked number eight by Sports Illustrated in their list of "Top 10 Stadium Anthems". [3]

Release

"Kernkraft 400" was first released in Germany (through Drehscheibe) and Spain (through Insolent Tracks) as a 12-inch single on 20 October 1999. [4] [5] The following year, the single was issued in the United Kingdom on 18 September by Data Records and in New Zealand on 27 November through the Bang On! label. [6] [7] [8]

Music video

The music video of "Kernkraft 400" starts out inside a nuclear power plant room where an infomercial host (Florian Senfter) dressed in '70s disco clothing comes out and later two models (Cindy and Mindy) come onto scene dancing. One model puts a plate of food into a trademarked Kernkraft 400™ microwave oven, which cooks the food much faster and hotter than the other model's conventional microwave oven. Mindy then gets into a standard tanning bed, while Cindy waits before getting into a Kernkraft 400™. Mindy reveals a sunburnt tan, while Cindy has a perfect sun tan which has even worked under her beachwear. Finally, the host sits on a couch in the studio, off camera, where he examines a standard vibrator and a Kernkraft 400™ version. As the camera pulls away, both women are seen running towards the host while the video production staff are seen wearing hazmat suits.

The video was produced and directed by Hendrik Hölzemann, Grischa Schmitz and Dominique Schuchman who at that time were studying film at the Filmacademy Ludwigsburg, under the name Panic Pictures.

Reception

Select gave the single a review noting its widespread popularity stating that it was "as welcome in Pacha as in the Munich underpass, Tongo and Coxo like this Teutonic techno," as well as noting it was "Not bad for a couple of DJs called Splank and Mooner". [6]

In the liner notes of the Kiss mix album Kiss House Nation 2001, Mixmag music editor Matthew Kershaw named the song among 2000's "uncategorisable" club tracks, noting it "was championed everywhere from children's television to the most underground techno clubs. Was it techno, trance, electro or house? No-one knew, and frankly, no one cared." [9]

"Kernkraft 400" first received US radio airplay on now defunct station Energy 92.7 & 5 in Chicago, Illinois in 2001. Due to its popularity with all ages on that station it was first introduced to sports fans at Chicago Rush arena football games. The song was not a featured song during player introductions but received regular play during timeouts and commercial breaks to assist in keeping the indoor American Football fans loud and aroused at the team's home field at Allstate Arena in suburban Rosemont, Il.

The song was briefly featured in 2004 Edgar Wright film Shaun of the Dead .

"Kernkraft 400" has been sampled by various artists, including rapper The Game in the single "Red Nation". [10]

Many professional sports teams, most prominently the Boston Bruins but also including Milwaukee Admirals, Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Dodgers, [11] New Jersey Devils, Atlanta United FC, Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Thrashers, KAA Gent, Real Valladolid, Celtic, A.C. Milan, Southampton FC, PSV Eindhoven, Tranmere Rovers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Monsters, Indianapolis Colts, and Oklahoma City Thunder play (or have played) "Kernkraft 400" either as part of pregame introductions, after scoring, or for wins.

The Seattle Mariners also play the song after a big hit or during rallies at T-Mobile Park. [12] [13] Penn State football has been using "Kernkraft 400" since as early as 2005. During the break in the song, fans chant "We Are Penn State." [14]

The song became a semi-official anthem for Welsh football fans during their country's qualification campaign for UEFA Euro 2016. This stems from an incident after their 0–0 draw with Belgium at Stade Roi Baudouin in Brussels, in which the travelling Welsh fans danced enthusiastically to the song being played over the stadium's public address system. [15] As a result, the song was played before the return fixture at Cardiff City Stadium on 12 June 2015. [16]

The UCF Knights began using "Kernkraft 400" as their rallying anthem at least as early as 2007 with the opening of FBC Mortgage Stadium. [17] When the song plays, UCF fans jump chanting "U-C-F Knights" during the breaks in the song. The song became controversial on campus as it became a cue for fans to start jumping, which when done in unison makes the stadium reverberate and bounce, earning it the nickname, "The Bounce House". University officials originally wanted to stop playing the song all together for the longevity of the built stadium, but after safety inspections showed no structural damage, they instead settled on playing shorter clips of the song fewer times during a game. [18]

"Kernkraft 400" is featured in the soundtrack of the 2012 video game NHL 13 , which uses the "Stadium Chant Mix" version. [19]

On 8 May 2022, W268BB 101.5 in State College, Pennsylvania launched the station by playing this song over and over for a week.

Elemental (2023) uses the "Live Remix" version (credited in-film as the "Sport Chant Stadium Remix") of this song during the airball game at Cyclone Stadium. [20]
