I think you guys missed this part in the song but at the end of the song he says "so long for now everybody" and then "see you later". This is his last song. I think there is a possibility he knew when he was going to die and that he will come back again.
@webmant9 dude.... this song wasnt made ANY time close to when he died i dont think.... ik he didnt make it after he made the song im a scatman which was in '94!
@Datharian676 Actually, this was his last song, Scatman's World was made in '95 and this was made in '99 right before he died.
He knew his end was close but he kept singing and filled his fans with hope before revealing that he had been battling an unknown illness for over a year before being diagnosed with lung cancer...
It's a bit of a pun I guess. In counting you usually go "One, Two, Three, Go!", but in japanese "Ichi Ni San" means "One, two Three" and then Go means "Five", so he did a pun.
ye, sorry, but you know, i don't like when people are pretending to know something because people that don't know particular thing learn incorrect things...
oh, and written gou would be pronounced goo with long o so still wrong ;p
Man, he appolagized three times and you people are still complaining on him for an idea of a wrong I did. Jeez', leave the cool man alone, he sounds cool.
And thanks too Kyuubifox66, made me think that it might've been a pun after all. xD
@dakotaclause stupid argument to talk about.. it's the same, both have a meaning. Things are not always Yes it's so or No it isn't so, sometimes it's just Maybe
huh? my point was he is literally using a japanese katakana sound "go"... implies well it is japanese, japanglish rather xD I am pretty sure he means 1 2 3 GO! since i am half japanese and have heard it used like that before...any more comments?
dont mourne, mourning leads to jealousy, the shadow of greed it is, A path to the dark side it is! be happy for those around you who turn into the force. :D
It's strange, that when he said, "...see ya later," he died and we couldn't. Luckily, we're keeping the legacy alive. Also, my channel has a playlist with a bunch of his songs in case anyone's interested.
I hope I get to meet this man when I go to Scatland one day.

Those are the translation I got, but I have absolutely no clue!

Sorry to disagree but "5" in japenes its actually written "Gou" so he is right in the writting form but he did a pun in the pronouncing form.
PS: Im not completely sure of what i said but this is how we do it in Karate so thats my opinion :D

You are a retard.. You do it wrong in Karate class.

Actually, 五, or 5, is always counted ご (go) and never ごう (gou). It's never an extended syllable.

well scatman must have had some knowledge of japanese if he decided to put 1,2,3,5 on his album. Therefore it leads me to assume that he didn't mean.
