Biography

[a=John Larkin] AKA Scatman John was born March 13th 1942 and grew up in nearby El Sereno, CA. Due to his stuttering problem he never thought of becoming one of the top musicians of the mid 1990's. [a=Ella Fitzgerald], [a=Charlie Parker] and [a=John Coltrane] had influenced him most as an artist. "Scatman", released in December 1994 in Germany, was his first single. Combining Eurodance and scatting, it was received very well by the public and his albums sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. Scatman John has received 14 golds and 18 platinums for his albums and singles. He had a strong fan base in Asia. On December 3rd 1999, at 6:30 PM, [a=John Larkin] passed away at his home in California.

LYRICS

(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it so can you

Everybody's sayin' that the Scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings
But what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and the scat is the same thing
Yo I'm the Scatman

Where's the Scatman? I'm the Scatman

Why should we be pleasin' all the politician heathens
Who would try to change the seasons if the could?
The state of the condition insults my intuitions
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood

Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you
I'm the Scatman

Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you

I'm the Scatman

I hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat
Well I'm the professor and all I can tell you is
While you're still sleepin' the saints are still weepin' cause
Things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born

I'm the Scatman

(Scatting by Scatman John)

I'm the Scatman....repeat after me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
I'm the Scatman....repeat after me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
