I think #Scatman & #ScatmansWorld (by #ScatmanJohn ... 'survived' by @scatman_fan & @Scatman_ebooks) have My Favorite Lyrics ... #BaDaBaDaBeeBopBopBoddaBope & #BaBoBehBopBopahDopBaBaBahBaBaBeDi ... possibly replacing #YaidleDeedleDaidleDigguhDigguhDeedleDaidleDum or #BaWitDaBaDaDingDaDangDiggyDiggy ... heh

The title |Scatman| (part of John Paul Larkin's stage-name Scatman John) is a compound of the words #Scat & Man. The word |Scat| is probably of |Imitative Origin (imitating one of the |Syllables used by the #Scatting Jazz-Singer's |Nonsense |Patter) 
... if not the Interjection meaning "Go Away!" (usually addressed to a small animal)--built of 'a |Hiss' & the word "Cat" (related with the phrase #QuickerThanSCat "in a Great |Hurry")--or if not the ancient words for "|Filth, |Dung (see |Scatology)."
on which are also-built #Scats #Scatted #Scatmen
 ... okay, I 'coined' that last one; but wouldn't #TheScatmen
 be a good name for a #ScatmanTributeBand?
To Keep Up on My 'Research,'

I'm calling out from ScatlandI'm calling out from Scatman's WorldIf you wanna break free, you better listen to meYou've got to learn how to see in your fantasyI'm calling out from ScatlandI'm calling out from Scatman's WorldIf you wanna break free, you better listen to meYou've got to learn how to see in your fantasy
Everybody's talkin' something very shockin'Just to keep on blockin' what they're feeling insideBut listen to me, brother, you just keep on walkin''Cause you and me and sister ain't got nothing to hideScatman, fat man, black and white and brown manTell me 'bout the color of your soulIf part of your solution isn't ending the pollutionThen I don't want to hear your stories toldI want to welcome you to Scatman's World
Babobeh-bopbopahdop-babababaBabedi-babobeh-babopbedop-bababapiBabedi-babobeh-popbopbedop-babobehBopbopbedop-babobeh-popbopbedop-bababababehdi
I'm calling out from ScatlandI'm calling out from Scatman's WorldIf you wanna break free, you better listen to meYou've got to learn how to see in your fantasy
Everybody's born to compete as he choosesBut how can someone win if winning means that someone loses?I sit and see and wonder what it's like to be in touchNo wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutchI want to be a human being, not a human doingI couldn't keep that pace up if I triedThe source of my intention really isn't crime preventionMy intention is prevention of the lie, yeahWelcome to that Scatman's World
Babobeh-bopbopahdop-babababaBabedi-babobeh-babopbedop-bababapiBabedi-babobeh-popbopbedop-babobehBopbopbedop-babobeh-popbopbedop-bababababehdi
I'm calling out from ScatlandI'm calling out from Scatman's WorldIf you wanna break free, you better listen to meYou've got to learn how to see in your fantasy
Hey-yeah!Babobeh-bopbopahdop-babababaBabedi-babobeh-babopbedop-bababapiBabedi-babobeh-popbopbedop-babobehBopbopbedop-babobeh-popbopbedop-bababababehdi
I'm calling out from ScatlandI'm calling out from Scatman's WorldIf you wanna break free, you better listen to meYou've got to learn how to see in your fantasy
Listen to meI'm calling out from ScatlandI'm calling out from Scatman's WorldIf you wanna break free, you better listen to meYou've got to learn how to see in your fantasy
