Scatman John

"Scatman" John Paul Larkin (March 13, 1942 – December 3, 1999) was a musician most known for his songs "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" and "Scatman's World". His songs are a minor joke on the LegoJKL channel with 6 videos as of writing.

History
On November 30. 1994, John Larkin would release his hit single, "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)", to critical acclaim. The song would reach number one on the music charts in many countries, effectively cementing its legacy in pop music.

After the success of his first single, he released his debut album "Scatman's World", which contained the title track of the same name. The album was a success, and the Scatman's World single topped almost as many charts as the his first single did.

In late 1998, Larkin was diagnosed with lung cancer and he passed away on December 3, 1999.

Nowadays, Scatman John has resurged in popularity as an internet meme, notably in Super Mario 64 videos using his songs as background music, such as Super Scatman 64 by Fleskhjerta. Scatman's World is also associated with the ironic demotivational poster meme.

On LegoJKL, his songs are a minor joke on the channel which have been used a few times. Its first use on the channel was the video We like to scatman, a mashup of both songs and ''We like to party! (Vengabus)'' by the Vengaboys.
