"Kernkraft 400" (English: Nuclear Power 400) is a song performed by German techno musician Zombie Nation and the first single from their 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]
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]
