Whoa didn't know this guy was dead. Just having a nostalgic music session.

RIP Scatman John

What happened to him?

agw_01 · 9 Sep 2007 at 21:10

Is he?

Does anyone know the words to his song "The Scatman"?

It's actually about stuttering and the words were printed on the back of a leaflet that I used to receive, having a stutter myself. I'll always remember that song!

RIP Scatman John.

He's gone to Scatland!

G-MAN2004 · 9 Sep 2007 at 21:26

He died in 1999. :/

Must have been at least 13 years ago that single came out...

agw_01 · 10 Sep 2007 at 12:09

It was released in 1994, so yeah, 13 years.

Damn, those 13 years have gone quickly :eek:

Didn't he die in some comedy way? Like getting knocked over by a taxi or something?

Edit - Maybe not, lung cancer

If a little late

Yep, knew he was no longer with us.

Was more upset when I found out that Falco was gone too. Oooh, rock me, Amadeus.

What?! I didn't know that

Is it only me who had the 'wrong' sort of thoughts when noticing the thread title? :eek:

It didn't help that I'd never heard of the guy!

Yeah, his car got hit by a bus in the Dominican Republic back in '98. Shame really.
