==Early life==
"'''Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)'''" (often just called "'''Scatman'''") is the debut and most successful single from [[Scatman John]].

Sales were slow at first, but the song was picked up by many radio stations and eventually became very successful internationally reaching #1 in many parts of Europe and charting in Australia and in Japan.
