In 1996 he said the following: "I hope that the kids, while they sing along to my songs or dance to it, feel that life is not that bad at all. Even for just a minute". I'm no longer a kid, but it is exactly how this song makes me feel

I sure hope each and every person in this crowd realized how much of an honor it was to see the Scatman live like this. I’d pay good money for this, no doubt! Rest easy, Scatman!
"Ratio" In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six. Similarly, the ratio of lemons to oranges is 6:8 and the ratio of oranges to the total amount of fruit is 8:14, and I see no math there
To be honest, before I wacthed this video, I thought "Maybe he sounds terrible live". Then I watched the video and I danced to it. He has an awesome voice. Now I can not stop listening and dancing to this.
Hear how nervous he is, even after he became famous, even at the start of the song; but hear as he progresses, the confidence grow and by the end he is rocking out without a care!!!! Super talent!!!!!
Me: “there’s no frigging way I’m listening to 7 minutes of Scatman” 7 minutes, multiple scat-solos, scat-jams, and just general excellent musicianship later Also Me: “that was too short start it over again. “
Scatman John looking at the guitarist as he was playing his solo just fills me with joy, because you could tell in that moment John was thinking, “Man, this cat can really shred!”
His background in Jazz really shines through here, I feel, with how incredibly smooth and seamless his improv is. A lifetime of experience and it shows.

I the 90s in Germany I didn't know English because I was just a child. I just recently understood the lyrics and learned how wholesome the Scatman was.
Why do we loose the best ones first😔 R.I.P. Scatman Someone later in time like my comment so i can come here and feel happy,dance like he wanted us to feel when we hear this song❤
I know it’s sort of a joke song, but Scatman John actually had a pretty inspirational life. He was born with a stutter that made him too nervous to sing, so he played piano for most of his career. It was only in his 50s that he decided to become a scat performer and made this song as a way to inspire kids with stutters. It made him a worldwide hit, (especially in Japan for some reason) and he did two more notable songs before he died of lung cancer a few years later at 57. He was completely at peace when he passed, declaring: ‘Whatever God wants is fine by me ... I've had the very best life. I have tasted beauty.’ Scatman John. Legend. Edit: Cheers to everyone who liked. May the Scatman bless every one of ye.
You can literally see how amazed they are by each other when they look over to them rocking their thing. The bassist especially getting into it when he starts his scat riffs, and the way Scatman just FOCUSES on the guitar like he's another member of the audience.
Must listen to this several times each and every year. One of the finest live performances by any artist that I have seen or heard and that guitar solo is performed with such love and respect for John, the whole thing is literally inspirational. Rest in Peace, Scatman John. You were a musical genius.
Someone in this next generation will discover this in a few years and they will never be the same again. Scatman is a legend - I still remember hearing this song in my high school class half a lifetime ago.
In this presentation John went crazy in a good way, he literally doubled the length of the song and with a more complex interpretation, perfect extended version.
Descansa en paz Jonh Scatman viejo amigo tu canción trajo muchas alegrías a mi infancia hoy por hoy al escuchar tu canción me hizo recordar todas la travesuras que hice!!!!! Gracias
He spoke to me at my school a day before he died.... I will never forget him.... We both had speech problems and we both over came it through singing and stuff.... It sounds silly, but....in spirit, he helped me through thick-and-thin throughout my own music career.... There is nobody so talented like him in today's music....
@@gyhio9 You would think.... Well, I do remember him saying he felt tired and he looked kind of sick and kind of pale.... I just thought it was due to old age.... Not something more serious.... The next thing I knew, I heard on the news that he died.... Anyhow, my older sister got me into lidyening to his music a year or so before.... It is kind of odd that all or most of the music greats die too soon.... I do not know.... That might happrn to me, too. If so, I might die by a plane crash or something if so.....
Fun fact. During my last year of college we had to make our final work, which was a video documentary about homeless folks and it was a hard time because half of our group quit college without warning and made it even harder. We thanked Scatman John in the credits because he was an inspiration for us. We used to sing his song in the car when we went filming. Good times. Thanks John.
The message seems to be that if you have a weakness, absorb it, accept it, then use it to display yourself as better than those without it (in some degree--depending on your needs; John was happy to get one song out there on the radio, it seemed)
Wyprzedzał swoje czasy. Do tych rytmów i remiksów bedą się bawić nasze dzieci. Bardzo żal mi artystów którzy zmarli przedwcześnie. Tacy zdolni, tacy zaangażowani tak jak widać w tym nagraniu wideo. Nie tylko łezka w oku się kręci, ale nawet płaczę żywymi łzami...
One true hero!! A Jazz artist, but adapted into one of the best tracks ever made!!! Utterly fantastic!!! Rest in peace Scatman John. You are still truly an inspiration!!
como comienza de menos a más y nos deja un en vivo magistral además se adueña de su propia versión y la lleva a otro nivel afortunados los que estuvieron en esa velada musical
Tears to my eye. What an inspiration. Cannot help but cry everytime I see this video. His initial nervousness that turns into a confident and phenomenal performance. The way his life went perfectly presented in this video. Not many will see past the memed persona, few will know the true greatness of John Scatman
People who never seen a guitar player be like: 🙀🙀🙀 😅 He is good, but level is average, between novice and legend. Melody is very basic pentatonic and minor from beginners exercises, but he played it good, with passion and precise.
i think my favorite part about this video is how he doesn't start out perfect, he starts a little off key, almost nervous but as he keeps singing, he totally loosens up and feels "it"and it sounds better than the album version in spots. i think that's why i like scatman so much he's visibly nervous and afraid but he still conquers those fears, and his stutter and jams the fuck out.
If I could attend one concert from the past that would be Scatnan's... I mean sure, Freddie Mercury was a legend, but Scatman songs just make me purely happy. And he performs amazingly live.
De momento me llegó a la mente este rola que marcó parte de mi vida , qué tipo tan creativo, me hizo llorar y más cuando supe que había muerto tan joven carajo ! Era un chingón , cuantos fuimos Felices con esta rola !! Ojalá y siga haciendo música donde esté !!
It’s crazy how much his stammer came through even though he controlled so much using music, makes sense why he made the music he did, almost using his stammer and repetitive words and lines to his advantage, absolute legend and nay he forever live in with his music
John Larkin was a prolific jazzman and swing and blues singer. This song got a lot of people off the well-worn paths of pop, rock, hip-hop, and rap and introduced them to new worlds of music that would **never** get coverage on the radio. A young person I know has become a HUGE Ella Fitzgerald fan specifically because of 'Scatman'.
I like this version very much and what a rare thing to hear and see acts from this era actually perform live without full playback. Nice. May you rest peacefully John, we will remember you everytime we hear your songs giving us a good time.
