Rudolf Schenker wrote the music for "Don't Stop at the Top", with Klaus Meine and Herman Rarebell putting the words together, and it turned up on Savage Amusement, the Scorpions' tenth studio album, in 1988. Dieter Dierks produced the record, and it was the last time the German hard rockers had him in that chair.
Savage Amusement did big business in America, climbing to No. 5 and going platinum in June 1988, and it came wrapped in a sly sleeve: a woman in a black dress hiding her eyes with one hand, and a scorpion's tail where her right leg should be.
