The Shining - Scatman cut

[PigMastor11]

Fail!!!!!!!

[lilgiggityz]

His real name was benjamin shemrman crothers. Rip

[scottieman2]

For a guy that has ESP, he didn't see this coming.

[IsolationInstigation]

Anybody else find it funny his name is Scatman?....

[DrKnarvox]

HE JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE WAS THERE.

[theoldteuchter]

Love the fact that the advert that pops up is for health insurance! HAHA!

[ProsAndConsPizzaHut]

I'm "Jack" Scatman!!!!

[wjfox2006]

The fuck...?!

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

I've watched this movie so many times that I know by heart the exact place Scatman steps before Jack pops out xD

[elephant54376]

croshers is not scatman john just because he has his first name dsnt meen its him

[TheInsanemonkeyboy]

FAIL! Crothers didnt sing this song

[happyicecream1234]

@TheInsanemonkeyboy FAIL! Your face is dumb (and yes, we're all aware)

[parsleysprigs]

@happyicecream1234 FAIL!!! Your channel sucks

[clevelandsteamer1000]

Ok this is pretty cool, but of ALL the scenes you could have showed from The Shining (my favorite all time movie) Why the scene where Scatman buys the farm? Not questioning your creativity mind you lol

[happyicecream1234]

@clevelandsteamer1000 Well, clevelandsteamer, it all happened many years ago when my friends and I, huge fans of the song and movie alike, noticed that the performer behind Dick Halloren was named Scatman Crothers. It was a brilliant epiphany that took us then, as we cued up song and axe scene alike, as surely this would provide the most definite contrast and so prove most hilarious, which I believe it does to this day. So there you have it :D

[clevelandsteamer1000]

@happyicecream1234 That's cool! Was Just curious....The video is awesome btw! :-)

[WizardOfHumor1989]

SCAT CAT JUST GOT WHACKED!

[Mattm1986]

OMG. Thats racist. Lol, just kidding. I can't believe people actually think that. They've either never seen the movie, or they're retarded.

[rexlego12345]

F.U JOHNNY FOR KILLING THAT POOR MAN KNOWN AS SCATMAN CORTHERS

[NicksGoinToHollywood]

this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life.

[GoingYard7]

that is just simply....awesome

[eddefy22]

lol

[theMBkid]

played it over and over. Got drunk to it too.

[Fersomling]

I'm laughin' my head off!

[boofdfast]

Oh no, he killed Jazz. Optimus Prime is gonna be PISSED off. LOL

[thegreeninferno]

Ha ha ha... I thought it was hilarious!

[severinbarsek]

this is just amazing

[UROXZMYSOXZ]

I used to love this song xD hahahahah that was pretty funny though

[keithyw]

in the two cut scenes with Jack making those strange faces, i can see how the second one mirrors Danny's face and the infamous elevator. but the tongue part makes me really wonder what Kubrick was thinking when he captured it. i tried pausing it and the only thing i could come up with is that Jack looks like the dog/bear guy.

[alexander55074]

HAHA!! better then being rick rolled!!

[ShadowoOfBlood]

ಠ_ಠ

[STARD00R]

would be funny if he screams SPARTAAA just before bashing

[captainkeeeta]

Crothers and John Larkin are TWO. DIFFERENT. PEOPLE.

[happyicecream1234]

@captainkeeeta ...yes, very obviously.

[cymaddux31]

I love this awesome!

[MetallicBill]

I wanted to see the scene without some bad song not related. BAD! Scatman the ORIGINAL! By God. He was "cut" from the film at this point

[CounterClockWise000]

I love the scatman!!!!

Not really

[JMaxwell85]

:50 made me LOL big time

[cooloutandcoexist]

hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahaha

[cloud28740]

i like jack's face when he's jumping around after the axe hit the chef

[shareschannel]

hahahah

[TheGatorfan93]

Travels over a thousand miles...just to stop an axe with his heart!Cold stuff...also,if you remember earlier,when he's throwing the ball around?You can see a black teddy bear in the exact position,with a red torso.Foreshadowing what's to come later.Kubrick was the best,end of discussion

[dacheza]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!

[Sheldon66]

Classic!

[DarkDarvor]

Sh** this vid is becoming a youtube all-time favourite for me!

[peaceman4u]

this the part my mom hates guys!

[cymaddux31]

Thats awesome check out Jacks face when he chops.

[kudillo]

i dont know if its like a really bad thing or a really good one but i just cant stop watching this video lol

[Godslonelyman11]

hahahahha....well played, sir.

[markstockers]

maybe the funniest video i have ever seen

[datalal624]

Props to you for turning what, for me, was a really upsetting moment in that film into a total comedy-fest! XD

Like the song, too.

[happyicecream1234]

Thanks a lot - glad you enjoyed it :D

[UKDK84]

Video well done with the perfect song. Watch Scatman Crothers after 40 seconds into the video. He looks like he's dancing before he get killed. By the way, this video was never considered racist. I'm sure Mr. Crothers would have been honored.

[chazbeaver]

I.... this... what?

5 stars.

[happyicecream1234]

I give your comment 5 stars.

[TealFoxes]

You made me laugh at the scene that gave me nightmares as a kid lol!

[happyicecream1234]

Word :D

[EvilRadiatedMonkey]

Hilarious! What's the point?

[joah45]

the film was released on May 23,1980 on scatman's 70th bithday

[Griffo619]

cant believe Jack Nicholson is 72!

[Radiohead13tv]

I GIZZED.

[TheShane0066]

watchout scatman, i cried for the first time in a while when i saw this, funny shit

[gianthairysasquatch]

Gotta admit the juxtaposition of the music and the clip had me in tears laughing, but just how is this a "tribute"?

[aribessah]

unbelievable, mate. brilliant.

i put this on my twitter. HAHA (;

[TheScatmanCrothers]

you know how i knew your name was doc?

[HaleQuin]

this has to be one of the most funniest things ive ever seen.

[happyicecream1234]

glad to hear it, mate.

[joah45]

[beerfartsrock69]

wow this really makes me wanna breakdance with an axe, damn wheres Scatman Crothers, I need to introduce him to my it :)

[aoikingyo]

LOL YOU WERE PERFECT

[ZeShroom]

I liked scatman crothers, only this song is by Scatman John. They're completely different people, they just have the same style of singing.

[FileJacker]

i love it!!! awesome, well done :)

[pinhead25]

I find this disturbingly funny :-)

[Colquhouny]

That's just retarded.

[mathewchalecki]

The song in this video is Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)by jazz musician John Paul Larkin aka Scatman John (1942-1999).

[mandmikias]

lol!!

[foulmouthc1]

A clever yet disturbing tribute. Scatman Crothers, a true legend, acted in the shining, voice of hong kong phooie !! and scatman singer - check out his name and ghost riders in the sky, classic

[sidewalkpilot]

FUCK RAP - SHIt

[Johnophobia]

It's not Rap, its Scat. Completely different.

[Rscimmypur]

hilarious!

[NastyNotion]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

[georgetunnah]

you guys are getting to deep into this, just appreciate it at face value and the silly faces jack makes and the pure ridiculousness of the situation with that music!

[midwest26]

Scat does refer to crap. There are some wierd people out there that like it.

[midwest26]

I know that I was just trying to be funny lighten up a bit lol.

[midwest26]

Well I wounder were he got the name Scatman because he walks with a bow in his legs. He must have had a large dump in his pants while filming this.

[darkmetal65]

no, it's because the style of music is scat.

[Bahamut5098]

The atmosphere and the eeriness owns. I'll take that over Saw bullshit anyday.

[SundayHangover79]

i agree 100%

[happyicecream1234]

word.

[Frailfurballl]

well you kno what they say the black guy always dies first in the movie.

[bassinserchofgroupie]

Not in the book tho!

[interstitialofficial]

Kubrick never did violence in a way that made it seem, "really real". When you look at his movies, like "Clockwork", the violence has a very staged feel to it, like the way it might be done on a live stage. Kubrick was not someone who did violence as a way for him or the audience to get its rocks off. Too bad he's one of a kind in the entire industry.

[masterchiefdonut]

Laughed til I cried.

[happyicecream1234]

awesome

[seinfeldkicksass]

i never liked the scene where jack killed that guy (what was his name, it was like dick or something) but this is frekin hilarious! the slow motion, the repeats when jack jumps out, LMAO!!!

[TNAROHfan]

Why not? If he hadn't been killed there would have been absolutley no one who died in the film with the exception of Jack. Kind of pointless to have a horror film where nothing really horrible happens, don't you think.

[seinfeldkicksass]

ok i agree with you on that, i just liked the character thats all

[slap1328]

he lives in the book and is crucial to saving the family, so you should read it if you dislike the movie depiction. Plus the hedge maze does not exist in the book; instead they have animal shaped hedges which come alive periodically.

[seinfeldkicksass]

i actually did read the book, as much as i like the movie i thought the book was better cuz it made a hell of a lot more sense

[bassinserchofgroupie]

Yeah, even in the mini series they managed to screw up by missing the awesome hedge fight! How can any film miss out his immortal line in that scene?

[SaultheSensational]

Kubrick originally wanted approximately 70 takes of the scene where

Halloran gets killed by Jack Torrance, but Jack Nicholson talked Kubrick

into going easy on the 70-year-old Crothers and stopping after 40. At one

point during the filming, Crothers became so exasperated with Kubrick's

notorious, compulsive style of excessive retakes that he broke down and

cried, asking "What do you want, Mr. Kubrick?"

"TO SEE WHAT YOUR INSIDES LOOK LIKE."

btw subscribed.

[Bobzeaux]

That's why I don't care for Kubrick (except for THIS movie, which is, ironically, considered to be his "worst" movie). There's a difference between being a perfectionist and being tedious. :P

[sisalrug]

I agree. this movie is incredibly good ( I think) but his other films just leave me impatient. I loved Scatman Crothers in this film.

[Bobzeaux]

As weird as Kubrick's style is, he REALLY missed his calling as a horror director. *l*

[LobosBoyz]

does this video mean it never pays for a person of color to show concern for a white child and a white woman? there were better people to protect. if he had been concerned with people of color, he wouldn't met up with the gruesome gringo. lessons abound.

[happyicecream1234]

I just wanted to thank everyone who has viewed, commented and rated - I hope this video brings you a good laugh and a poor day.

[zig553]

this is probably the best video on youtube. like when i first watched this, it blew my mind

[TrujaSanguinaria]

xD reeeeally funny. LOL at 1:00-1:06

[ResidentOfUmbrella99]

Now that was AWESOME!!!XDDD

[tamclutcher]

what a horrible and amazing idea....nice video

[jason6775]

duck negro!!

[IckissAndCauliflower]

just because one guy is black doesn't mean it's hate.

[delman27]

I am a fan of Scatman. I can't see anything racist here. It is stupid humor and quite funny. Lighten up, and watch Scatman take his medicine.

[zig553]

what the fuck is this shit?! and like honestly why do ppl get so worked up about shit like this , jesus christ

[icemilk14]

To pair a celebratory song about Mr Crothers and fictional film of him being cut down strikes me as so unentertaining and bewildering that my mind searches for some reason it was made. Was it for ironic intent? Like no matter what our legacy were all human and subject to die if an axe is buried in our chest- no, cant be that- cause its just a movie. Was it for laughs? Cause its funny to think of a man with blood streaming out of his chest while an homage of him is playing in the backgorund?

[murphisrad]

this is the best video on youtube

[Ajax730]

how is this racist in any way douchebags.

[j67123]

I don't know if this video was intended to be racist but even if it was, you could have picked a better "target" than Scatman Crothers. He was a genuinely nice man so I find this really disrespectful. R.I.P. Mr. Crothers from a white man.

[Bobzeaux]

Perhaps, but you can't make too many videos featuring other people with a song revolving around only Scatman. *lol*

[jjbizzippo]

lighten up, people. this is freakin' hilarious.

[jowens3]

This is a terrible, violent, racist video. Taken out of the context of the film, I hate to see it, when such a good film and message is butchered for pure, light, amusement.

[Bobzeaux]

A. It's only as violent as a single chop to a human sternum CAN be.

B. It's not racist. There are much MORE reasons for a guy to kill someone beyond skin color. It MIGHT be if it were Grady who killed him, but it wasn't.

C. There's no message to The Shining, and if you're condemning this video for taking something dramatic/horrific and making it into an entertaining, light-hearted music video, so must you do the same for EVERY music video mash-up in Cyberspace. Happy hunting.

[icemilk14]

Dear asshole

A. I would classify a chop to your human sternum as a violent act

B. Its not racist in the movie because Jack thinks Dick Holloran is a threat to his dominion and thats why he kills him. But in the context of this video it is if not racist in the realm of Tom Green funny- like funny to inmates.

C. There is a message to The Shining- true horror lies in mans paranoia and self deception. Like yours.

[Bobzeaux]

Yikes, what crawled up YOUR ass today? O_o

[Bobzeaux]

A. Never did I deny the violence depicted here. I was simply saying this isn't a "terrible, violent" video since it just shows the same thing over and over again. It IS terrible, but the instant replay causes it to lose its affect, as opposed to seeing multiple acts of violence.

B. What are you arguing if we're in agreement that it's not racist?

C. If TRUE horror lies in Man's paranoia and self depiction, they shouldn't have set it in a genuinely haunted house. "Like yours"? Meaning what? :S

[icemilk14]

OK here we go again- let me correct you-

A. This is maybe one of the sickest videos Ive seen on YouTube because of its repetition in various slo-mo and chromatic "funtime" playbacks.

B.If you were to watch this in a day cell filled with anglo saxon child molesters and meth users- you might get the crownd to laugh along with you. If you watched this in a mixed-race room- if you laughed- you'd laugh alone.

C. Youre a screwed up son of a bitch. The house wasnt haunted until they got there.

[Bobzeaux]

A. You're still new to youtube. With time, you'll soon learn that this vid is NOTHING.

B. You're associating child molesters and meth uses EXCLUSIVELY with anglo saxons? If you're looking for something racist, you need to search no further than a mirror.

C. I'm a screwed up son of a bitch? I'm not the one randomly insulting strangers. The hotel WAS indeed haunted. Can you explain to me how Jack got out of the freezer without any ghosts to undo the lock on the door?

[icemilk14]

A. You're a jaded dude- go look up beheadings

B. If you really think this video isnt racist- recommend it to a black man who lives in your neighborhood- no big deal right?

C. If you can tell me how the freezer door got unlocked then tell me- and then tell me why The Shining doesnt have any point to it.- is it haunted?

[Bobzeaux]

A. You're a sheltered dude. Go look up any horror film between 1980 and today.

B. Nope. No big deal at all.

C. The freezer door got unlocked by Lloyd, the ghostly bartender. There's no other possible explanation. Danny wouldn't be seeing ghosts if there weren't any "traces" (as Scatman put it) to begin with. I couldn't tell you about any point of The Shining as a book, but as a movie its only point is to be pure entertainment and nothing but.

[rudeboyfoodboy]

you do that A.B.C thing alot.

you sure know your alphabet.

[Bobzeaux]

No harm in being organized, is there?

[fullmetallover32]

I hate that the black guy had to die.. racist ppl O_o ( Im Black )

[Bobzeaux]

But if it was a black guy chopping an ax into a white guy's chest, that would be just fine, huh?... -_-

[fullmetallover32]

It was kinda sad for me i love the song tho LOL :)

[delman27]

This is an incredibly fine piece of theatre. Scatman really takes a whoopin' in this one.
