Scatman John Remix Album!
Project Overview
Do you like Scatman John? (Or possibly love???) Would you like to help make some remixes by having your voice be the center of some of the fan favorites of Scatman John? Then join the club! because i want to make some remixes of some of my favorite tracks! and seeing as that there are little to no official vocal tracks from the deceased legend himself, I want this to be an obvious fan album from you and I to the world!
I will take tryouts for a while, but I need everyone to please be as patient as possible! I make music as a hobby and passion, and am currently attending College as it is right now, so i would work on these little remixes on my own time~
As I was saying, Scatman John not only left a mark on those of us who wish for a better world, but also reach to us who were born into this hell hole we call Earth. To help relieve some of the stress of recent political outcries, I would love you to come together and help me make some remixes of a few of my (Or possibly YOUR) Personal favorites from the man himself!
Here Is the list of song vocals I would love to have sung:
1. Scatman's World
2. Mambo Jambo
3. Everybody Jam
4. Invisible Man
5. (I want to) Be Someone
6. People Of The Generation
As this IS a remix album, I will not be selling or making any profit from this album. Besides, the man deserves love even after death. This being said, i should also explain in which genre and tempos will be remixed. Currently I am thinking in the style of UK Hardore/Happy Hardcore (since it's my main focus in terms of genre) But i would probably also experiment in BPM's of 150-170. so put on that little metronome of yours and sing for me, guys! I hope to hear alot of great vocals! (also leave me a little message in your recording of your favorite song by scatman, and to how he has influenced you growing up!)
This will be a Work In Progress for a long time, but I hope everyone can pardon my schedule and will hang in tight! I'll leave updates nad hopefully i can have some love put into these vocals and songs all together! Anyone who also participates, you will be able to download the whole album in WAV format for those who DJ or just prefer whole albums in superb quality! All of these tracks will go to bandcamp as Free or as PWYW (where i will make sure people will not pay for it)
Can't wait to see if this heads somewhere, guys! Happy singing!

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
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
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
Everyone'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
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
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
Listen to me
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
I would also love some improv grunts and vocals in the style of scatman, listen to many of his songs and you'll know what im talking about : )
I would also love this one to have some form of chorus to it ("stop, look, and listen") in which i could layer it and have it sound like a crowd chanting : )
People of the generation
You can put an end to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future
You can make us stop!
[Scatting by Scatman John]
People of the generation
You can put an end, to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future
You can make us stop, look and listen... yeah
Stop, look and listen
Suppose they gave a war and hardly anybody came
The government would spread the news that we're all insane
Suppose the times have changed so much we couldn't follow rules
They'd take the stake and brand us 'generation of fools'
Suppose they planned a war and everybody stayed home
They'd fall apart, and that would start frustration to the bone
They gave a war - nobody came - imagine all the fuss!
They'd have to send themselves instead of sending us - yeah!
People of the generation
You can put an end, to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future
You can make us stop!
[Scatting by Scatman John]- Uh!
It's awful hard to follow rules, when rules are obsolete
No wonder there's so many robots walking in the streets
The 'sires of senility' have got to step down
The circus is the purpose and the place for old clowns
The situation's calling, and it's telling me and you
The time has come, what must be done, that's what we've got to do
You're the generation that can make the world see
Everybody join in and repeat after me, it's time to...
Stop, look and listen!
The revolution's over, everybody won!
Yeah - stop, look and listen
The revolution's over, it's time to have some fun!
People of the generation
You can put an end, to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future
You can make us stop!
[Scatting by Scatman John]
This is the generation
[Scatting by Scatman John]
You can be the ones to save the nations
[Scatting by Scatman John]
You can make us stop, look, and listen!
(Stop! people... people... we can make it stop)
Yeah - stop, look and listen
[Scatting by Scatman John]
You can make us stop!
Look at role one for characteristics, and also listen to the song. This is a fun one!

Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam yeh
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Follow me everybody
Let's head down south to the land
With the man with the message
His name was Satch
And he played on the match
Everytime he played the horn
Another blues was born
Everybody's saying
That the way he was playing
Had the whole world praying
That he never gonna stop
He taught the Scatman all about scat
He's the father of it all
As a matter of fact.
Louis was a legend in New Orleans
And the Louisiana Dixieland scene
He made a decision that the old time religion
To be played out the horn
And the blues was born
Satchmo's breathing deep In my soul
Let me sing it to you
Hallelujah hey hey whaddya say?
Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
Everybody come an take a ride with me
Hey hey whaddya say
Get out the way
Let Louis play
Take a lessons that I learnt
From Louis, he only give it to us
'Cause he knew it would renew us.
Love is the answer
Scat's where it's at Louis said
Even you could teach a cat scat
Shouldn't be talking about it
Talking to you
Louis was one swinging happy guru
If you wanna hear the greatest trumpet
In the world well sing along with me
Sing along
Now join me in the opening
And join me in the bow
Singing in the sunset
Singing at the dawn
You've gotta get it up
If you want to get it on
Scatmo's breathing deep in my soul
Let me sing it to you
Hallelujah hey hey whaddya say
Get out the way
Let Louis play!
Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
Everybody yeah
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Yeah c'mon!

Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
Hey hey whaddya say?
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
Hey hey whaddya say
Everybody come and take a ride with me

I know it's a cover of a queen song, but i very much would love to recreate scatman's version but in the style of his vocals, which is why this is on the list ; )
I'm the invisible man,
I'm the invisible man,
Incredible how you can,
See right through me,
When you hear a sound,
That you just can't place
Feel somethin move
That you just can't trace,
When something sits
On the end of your bed
Don't turn around
When you hear me tread.
I'm the invisible man,
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you.
Now I'm in your room
And I'm in your bed
And I'm in your life
And I'm in your head
Like the CIA
Or the FBI
You'll never get close
Never take me alive
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you,
Hah, hah, hah, hello,
Hah, hah, hah, hello,
Hah, hah, hah, hello-hello-hello-hello,
Never had a real good friend - not a boy or a girl
No-one knows what I've been through - let my flag unfurl
So make my mark from the edge of the world,
From the edge of the world,
From the edge of the world,
Now I'm on your track
And I'm in your mind,
And I'm on your back
But don't look behind
I'm your meanest thought
I'm your darkest fear
Put I'll never get caught
You can't shake me, shake me dear,
I'm the invisible man,
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you
Look at me, look at me
I would love to have the chorus lines sung for this one ("Woah, Woah") Another favorite of mine!
I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone
Be someone waoh waoh
Spending all your time never knowing what to say
Is my mode of operation day after day
Ain't got no money I don't even drive a car
And my Nike tennis shoes ain't takin' me too far
Gotta sexy girlfriend hot on the scene
Her home is page 20... Playboy magazine
She's gotta a great job on the hotel circuit if you
Press the right channel and you know how to work it
I wanna be someone I don't wanna be me
I'm always feeling less than everybody I see...
You ask me how I'm doing
And I'll tell you "Just fine" but on the
Inside, swear to god I'm losing my mind
I wanna be someone not just anybody
Want to be someone someone like you
I've got to be someone 'cause I don't know how to be me
I'm always so impressed with an American Express card
Picking up the ladies in a brand new Mercedes
Hop in my yacht take a cruise to Monte Carlo
Living for today never thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I know the very best met travlin' with the jet set
The only folks I ever meet live on the back street
Every day's another empty day in the life of a
Guy without a face always feelin' out of place
I wanna be someone I don't wanna be me
I'm always feeling less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doing
And I'll tell you "Just fine" but on the
Inside, I swear to god I'm losing my mind
I wanna be someone not just anybody
Want to be someone someone like you
I've got to be someone 'cause I don't know how to be me
Waoh waoh waoh I wanna
Be someone waoh waoh waoh
Be someone skep bob doop bop ba doba dop
I wanna be someone I don't wanna be me
I'm always feeling less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doing
And I'll tell you "Just fine" but on the
Inside, I swear to god, I'm losing my mind
Losing my mind
I wanna be someone not just anybody
Want to be someone someone like you
I've got to be someone 'cause I don't know how to be me
'Cause I don't know how to be me
'Cause I don't know how to be me
