'Kernkraft 400,' known by many Penn State and some sports fans as Zombie Nation, lives on in stadiums and clubs around the globe.
in 2013, “Kernkraft 400” was there as the fans in unison knew what to do. They seemingly always have.How Senfter’s song ever made it from Munich, Germany, to State College, Penn., in the first place is still a mystery. Senfter was in Germany toying with new sounds and had reconnected with the Lazy Jones game he used to play on a Commodore 64. There was a melody that played in one particular room during the game that he was drawn to.
“The original version was a quirky, electro style,” Senfter said. “It represented my style at the time. Our first license was to an Italian label, and they made a remix that kind of polished it up a little bit to make it a little more accessible to a radio audience. … In Italy, I think they made some kind of remix that had the vocals on it because at the time, and also since the ’70s, people liked to sing along with sounds in the club.
“The remix version became the more popular version,” Senfter said. “We decided to release it here too in the U.S. to try and take control of it, but that’s what led to the stadiums where it sounds like fans are singing along.”It was a challenging and weird experience as the chanting version — which he once hated — caught on. At live performances and as Senfter played festivals all over the world, that’s the version crowds wanted to hear.
That, of course, was never his intention. The remix has been played at the Super Bowl and even became a goal song for Germany. In the recently released Disney Pixar movie “Elemental,” there’s a sports scene with a stadium setting. A “Kernkraft 400” remix is played.
