"The Logical Song" is Supertramp's biggest chart hit in both the United States and their native United Kingdom. The song was released as the lead single from their sixth studio album, Breakfast in America (1979), in March 1979 by A&M Records.
"The Logical Song" rose to number 7 in the UK and number 6 in the US Billboard chart. Paul McCartney named ‘The Logical Song’ as his favorite song of the year in 1979. "The Logical Song" also appeared on Supertramp co-founder Roger Hodgson's album, Classics Live, a collection of his live performances from acoustic, band and orchestra shows recorded on his Breakfast in America World Tour.
"Ramp! (The Logical Song)", or just "The Logical Song" in certain territories, is a 2001 single by the German techno band Scooter, featured on their second singles compilation album Push the Beat for This Jam (The Singles 98–02). This version heavily samples Supertramp's recording, and makes lyrical references to British stadium house band The KLF.
The single reached number 1 in several European countries, including Norway and Ireland, as well as number 1 in Australia in 2002. It reached number 2 in the United Kingdom, their highest ever charting single beating the number 18 peak of "Back in the U.K." in 1996; it has been certified gold by the BPI, selling over 400,000 copies and was the 15th best-selling single of 2002.
The Scooter version was an anthem in Glasgow's ned culture throughout the 2000s.
