I love Scatman John. AS other commenters have pointed out, he started Scat as a way to overcome his stuttering. He was really nervous at trying to publicly perform Scat, his wife suggested that he address his stutter in his song, so he wrote this song. In most of his songs he tries to send uplifting messages. "Sing Now!" and "Scatman's World" are some of his most popular, but I also highly suggest "Everybody Jam!" as another really fun song of his, there's actually a spoken portion at the very beginning where you can actually hear him stutter. By far my favorite song of his though is "Love Ballad" which is just an absolutely beautiful piece that I HAD to put on my Romantic Dancing playlist.

They enjoyed your inferences about it being a 90’s song based on the sound, hairstyles, and dance moves. Keep up the great work.

I’m old enough to remember Scatman Crothers who actually made an appearance in the movie Blues Brothers which I know you did a reaction on. This was different and a nice treat and fun. By the way, this scatman had a speech impediment, so did a well known country singer whose name I don’t remember, but he stammered but could sing beautifully. And there are some actors who also stuttered/stammered who could read their lines and act in a movie flawlessly.

I never heard this song before but it was fun. But it reminded me there is one artist who both of you adore who scats constantly when she sings Blues... That you have neglected for over a year...of course I'm speaking of Beth Hart, who is known to often break out into scat in the middle of a song. You give the people what they want right? Beth is waaaaay overdue for a visit! "Caught Out in the Rain" is a perfect example.

John Paul Larkin (known more as Scatman John) was a jazz singer who performed all over Europe in early 90s, and while performing in Germany he was working with Manfred Zahringer, who was the founder of the Iceberg Records in Denmark. Manfred had an idea to mix scat singing with techno music... but initially John didn't think that it would work. His wife Judy came up with the idea of actually talking about stuttering in the song. So yeah, thanks to his wife John became an international megastar. And John was HUGE in Japan. He appeared on many TV shows, he was in the ad company for the cosmetics company Kanebo (he made a song Su-Su-Su Super Kirei specifically for those ads) and he also advertised some puding for Glico’s Prin in Japan as well (he made a song Pripri Scat specifically for those ads). John actually released a Jazz album in 1986, it was a commercial failure... but there's a song from that album called "The Misfit" that was used by John when he made lyrics for his song "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)", more specifically the part about saints that are whipping and things that we call dead that haven't even had the chance to be born.

As others told you, and as you can hear in the lyrics, this song tells an awesome story, I love it and have a tear in my eye . I hope the kids (mainly) who stutter hear this song it might help with the confidence they need. I read about this guy years ago, he apparently worked in the music indusry all his life, but always stayed in the background due to his stutter and then he did this :)

Sorry to put this here..I know it's a bit late but with tomorrow being 9-11 I thought a great song to react to would be Alan Jackson's Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning. It's absolutely beautiful and completely captures the date. Bring your hankies. Y'all are wonderful and bring such a warmth and sincerity to the world. Thank you so much.

I haven`t heard this for a long time, but still, every now and then it plays in my head. Such a well made fun song. "A prolific jazz pianist and vocalist for several decades, he rose to prominence during the 1990s through his fusion of scat singing and dance music. He recorded five albums, which were released between 1986 and 2001. As of 2023, Larkin has sold over 20 million albums worldwide and went 15 times gold and 18 times platinum." Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) was released in 1995. Unfortunately, he died just four years later.

Great classic 90s song. I think something about the flow of singing made it easier for him to do that than to speak. Hopefully it can help others do the same.

Knew you guys would love this! Amazing what a stutterer can do... check out his other hit "Scatman's World" ... not as fun, yet has a powerful motivational message. Enjoy!

This is the anthem for all the middle schoolers who watched RU-vid in the mid-2000's.

I did not know he was a middle aged white man with a real stutter! I always thought he was Black. He did all the vocals including the background ones. Layered. THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME!
