Scatman (ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop) Official Video HD - Scatman John 

0% violence 0% nudity 0% swearing 100% ski-ba-bop- ba-dop-bop

I know it’s sort of a joke song, but Scatman John actually had a pretty inspirational life. He was born with a stutter that made him too nervous to sing, so he played piano for most of his career. It was only in his 50s that he decided to become a scat performer and made this song as a way to inspire kids with stutters. It made him a worldwide hit, (especially in Japan for some reason) and he did two more notable songs before he died of lung cancer a few years later at 57. He was completely at peace when he passed, declaring: ‘Whatever God wants is fine by me ... I've had the very best life. I have tasted beauty.’ Scatman John. Legend. Edit: Cheers to everyone who liked. May the Scatman bless every one of ye.

Anyone at May 2024?

Dude gets old. Decides to follow dreams. Becomes world top performer. Churns out hit after hit. All about how you must never surrender and trust yourself. Dies. We all were blessed to have him, this presence of a pure soul.

ALL RISE FOR THE OLD INTERNET ANTHEM

Never forget if u stutter, just remember im a scatman. RIP John Paul "Scatman" Larkin.

“What’s he doing?” “He’s beginning to believe.”

“If the scatman can do it brother so can you” (Me with a tear): nice.

The only skibidi I listen to

90's never dies.

He is the type of guy Eminem afraid to diss

Eminem: I'm the rap god Scatman John: Hold my ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop.

his man knew how to turn his stutter into music, no physical, motor or language problem can stop a talented person. Simply admirable

I'm a snobby, uppity musician type often, but the insane amount of positivity and catchiness of scat man is so hard to hate. 😂

For people who don't know: John Scatman was suffering froma severe stutter and in fact he turned his most negative trait into the key to the success.

Me: trying to sleep My brain: *PEEPAAPAAPAADAPOOPAAPAAPAADADOO*

Someone 2024?Come on guys. Am i the only?🤔

The 90s really were a better time. There was an optimism that is gone from the world. ❤

Nobody: Google auto-generated passwords:

Searched up "pee para para pom" for this song. RU-vid didn't disappoint

The only skibidi that matters.

Scatman : The only person Eminem is afraid to diss

Moral of the story: “If a scatman can do it, so can you.”

Miss him so much. He should have had had a longer career. Guess I'm old school who respects the old school brilliant tunes. XXX

This is the song Mr. Krabs wanted to play on the radio

Friend: who's your favorite beatboxer Me: it's complicated

Late 90s were the peak of western civilization. 😢

Дядя Джон скетмен мы тебя любим и помним!!!

This legend died 21 years ago to the day (as this comment was posted). Absolute legend, respect to him. Edit: Anyone wondering, he died December 3rd, 1999 due to lung cancer.

Rest in peace, Scatman John 1942-1999

The people dancing during the song weren’t hired, they simply were overcome by the groove and were used for the video

Teacher: no talking in class Kids at the back:

The legend is still here

この曲を聴くと今でも心がワクワクします😊発売当時からずっと好きです😊

Me: *Trying to sing the lyrics* The demon I summoned: Hey Buddy

Girlfriend: Hey are you even listening?!? My brain:

*Who's* *here* *in* *2024* *.*

*The* *best* *video* *of* *all* *time* *.*

Fun fact: One of the fastest runners in the world (Haile Gebrselassie ,broke 27 world records), won a score while listening to this in his headphones .He claimed to have chosen this song because the rhythm of the song is similar to his running pace.

This man's story is actually inspiring and sad. He has had problems with stutter from his youth, though he loved jazz. Scatman wanted to create music, but feared that he won't be accepted due to stutter. He almost dies from drug overdose, but his wife saves his life and they both start working. Even though he stuttered, Scatman manages to do something never before done: combining scatting and euro-pop. In his last years he becomes very sick and loses consciosness while performing. He also says "If a Scatman can do, so can you", trying to inspire everyone in this world. "Scatman's world" also advertises international, interracial and interhuman Peace.

Intemporal, international, legend.

"In case you didn't know, John "Scatman" Larkin suffered from a severe stutter by the time he learned to speak which led to an emotionally traumatic childhood. He never gave up though and he turned his "problem" to an awesome way of singing "Scat singing". He is an example to all people who suffer from any kind of problem to never give up and chase their dreams" - Yoyo ( unkown )

today is this man’s birthday, he’s turning 77. EVERYONE say happy birthday, and rest well in scatland, John your legacy will live on. :)

*The* *90s* *never* *die* *.*

People from 2100?

Don't say who's here in 2020, we never left R.I.P Scatman John

He didn’t actually die... He just travelled to Scatman’s World

Oooohhhh!! What a BLAST!🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃! I remember the first time this played on the radio just before christmas in 1994.

Legendary ❤ people dance to this Oldie but Goodie!!

"The legends are true, heaven plays endless midis of Scatman John"

It's hard to believe that this man used to have a stutter so painful that he could barely speak. Being able to overcome stuttering and then rap like this is like climbing Mt. Everest from the inside.

Noobs: mumble rap Pros: Eminem Legends: Scatman

rest in peace to scatman ⚰🌹

*Song plays* Depression: Ok I’ll stop for now

It's a tradition to come back to this once in a while

“Things you call dead haven’t yet had the chance to be born” Deep thoughts with the deep

It's April 2024 and I listen to this awesome Dance-Pop-Song as I did 30 years ago... This song will never get old - my brother struggles as a child with stutter like John...and he became more self-confidence listening to Johns' gig - so sad John past away so soon! I believe that this song helped many people with stuttering - and not only my brother! Thanx for this song, John! RIP...you deserve it! Greetings from Germany! 😪

"hey are you paying attention?" My brain:

"If the scatman can do it, so can you" Me: *inaudible random noises*

Billie Elish: I'm bad guy *John: I'm scatman!*

Ero nelle elementari che è uscita questa canzone, era l'estate del 94 o del 95.... Le canzoni di allora non sono neppure paragonabili allo stato attuale. Dopo quasi 30 anni hanno ancora quel fascino, quella carica, quella vitalità di allora... grazie signor Scatman, riposa in pace.

スキャットマンさん 神 選ばれし者いいな 本当

Bruh when he said “brobaboboaeobaor” I felt that.

"Let nothing hold you back, If the Scatman can do it, So can you." That line really hits hard for me.

Insane that this song is 30 years old, but still sounds brand new. For melody, rhythm and pace, it bests most tracks released in the last twenty+ years 🤯 🎉 RIP Scatman John 🪽

Me in early 2000's trying to request this song on my favorite radio broadcaster : " Don't know the title but song goes bip bop bop badabop skadabon bob catmen "

The song is whimsical yet the scatman is VERY serious with his message.

Everybody gangsta till John starts singing their WiFi password

Истинная легенда

Seriously, what a Legend!

The man took his disability and made it work for him. Then, he did what so many can't and used his talents to inspire others. Carefully now, he's a hero.

The two things I would do if I could go back in time: - Save Harambe - Save Scatman Rip John Scatman, a legend I was unaware of until a few years ago, but still deeply respect

Just letting everyone know, I survived another year. May 2024 and counting!

*Mega* *Hits* *90s* *.*

John is and will always be an inspiration to me. I didn't have a speech impediment, or as we called it back then a stutter, but I was always socially awkward so found speaking to people or groups difficult. But this song cheered me up and made me feel less strange after it was released.
