such a sad, but happy song - all at once. Makes me wonder what happened to all those people featured in the video, how their lives went and have eventually turned out, where they are today.
I miss his music.. There is noone else like him. Now a days most older men could never make it in the music world being so much older than the youth now days bent on looks and perfection its really sad how shallow our world has become.. RIP Scatman John
the 686 ppl who liked this are awesome and get to scat with Scatman John on stage(LIVE) and get to scat the f*ck out of the ppl who dislike this video
@MrCOLTSR2 yes, there does need to be more people like him these days but sadly 60% of modern people are growing up to be douchebags... Especially on the Internet
What a truly great bloke...google him...he was a real human being with a heart to match!... and such cool music!........the world needs more like him!...great song and a great artist!....RIP John....
What happen to good music? It seems to be dying fast. How many bands, or artists still have their own style? Not many. If you have bands in mind, reply to me and I will listen to anything once as long as it's not Justin Bieber...
@AlainProviste55 i like your taste in music Alain skatman's world maybe this will heal the planet if everyone sings this...didldidldidldeee..calling all the humannnn's
The lyrics detail how he overcame his difficulties with stuttering by turning them into the ability to scat-sing, and encourages children who stutter not to give up. JOHN WAS A HERO TO ALL
In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. Scat singing gives singers the ability to sing improvised melodies and rhythms, to create the equivalent of an instrumental solo using their voice.
john paul larkin is one of the most acceptant,tolerant,and caring person on youtube.he would accept bronies,furries,and even trollz.love scatman :DDDDDDD
@CookieMonsterandAsh No he's saying that its impossible even for scatman to stop it so live with it.... I'm not okay with this like you but he's right. He said that 12 year ago and the pollution is still a part of our life now. Who will do something about it now that the problem took all the place he could?
And the last line "Yeah, I want to welcome you to Scatman's world" means that he's showing you his world. A world with no prejudice, no pollution, no war. A truly beautiful world. One that I can only pray for.
This man was our example, if everybody in this world would be like scatman there wouldn't be war anymore.. This man loved the world, he knew what real love and real peace was. R.I.P John Paul Larkin.
Scatman John will always be in our hearts for every one and when you die you will see him singing to the heavens and who ever hates scatman john will have no friend because he tried to stop drugs pollution and others remember he will be in our hearts forever.
Guys ignore flabri. The message from this song is also to tell us not to become angry at those whose lives are so bleak that they must ruin our fun. Scatmans great no matter what anyone says so why not simply laugh at the venom of people and let them show their teeth to a world in which they will never be capable of harming and continue with our marvelous lives and pity those who do not share a soul with the bodies in which they walk?
Thank you Mr. Scatman for all your wonderful contributions to the world of music! It is joy listening to your music decades after their initial introduction!
i first saw this video in berlin in 1995 and spent the next week searching for scatman in stores (pre-internet shopping), and finally found it in a store in zurich. never found it in the US then. ive been listening to this for more than 16 years. ripped it to an sd card for my car now. technology changes, but this cd is still the best.
very awesome!!!!!
