Yeah, unfortunately he is one of those guys who makes one or two successful songs and disappear.
He became very famous in 1995 when he released his first successful single "Scatman", and the second one "Scatman's World".
I was only a child listening to my first hits, and these songs are simply unforgettable for me. Few years later, I heard the song once again and decided to look for the lyrics.
This kind of music is usually accompanied by terrible lyrics, which don't make any sense, or just talk about a kiss or something like that... But surprisingly theses songs are really meaningful and discuss a little bit about the way we live and behave. At the same stage, I looked for new releases and found out he had died in 1999, when he was 57.
It was really hard to choose between them, but today, I will give you Scatman's World, by Scatman John.
This is the most important Dance Music song of my Life!
Scatman John - Scatman's world
I'm calling out from Scatland
I'm calling out from Scatman's world.
If you wanna break free you better listen to me.
You got to learn how to see in your fantasy.
Everybody's talkin' something very shockin' just to
Keep on blockin' what they're feelin' inside but
Listen to me brother, you just keep on walkin' 'cause
You and me and sister ain't got nothin' to hide.
Scatman, fat man, black and white and brown man
Tell me 'bout the colour of your soul.
If part of your solution isn't ending the pollution
Then I don't want to hear your stories told.
I want to welcome you to Scatman's world
(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm calling out from Scatland
I'm calling out from Scatman's world.
If you wanna break free you better listen to me.
You got to learn how to see in your fantasy.
Everybody's born to compete as he chooses
But how can someone win if winning means that someone loses.
I sit and see and wonder what it's like to be in touch.
No wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutch.
I want to be a human being not a human doing.
I couldn't keep that pace up if I tried.
The source of my intention really isn't crime prevention.
My intention is prevention of the lie (yeah)
Welcome to the Scatman's world
