Somebody may now explain to me why my MP3 collection includes “Scatman.”
Interesting choice in 90's techno.
Yes, but not only is it a perfectly dreadful song, but it also violates Jeremy's Big Rule #1 of Music.
Dare I ask?
The rule simply states that if the lyrics of your song include the name of your group, you have written a bad song. Obviously, there are notable exceptions to this rule, such as "Bad Company" by Bad Company, and "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston. However, these are much rarer than songs that fit the rule....such as "Wild Wild West" by Escape Club, "Cha Cha Slide" by DJ Casper, just about anything by Destiny's Child or Kid Rock, and the aforementioned "Scatman."
And yet, you have the song.
I do...and despite the fact that it made its way to Sametime Status territory, I'm reasonably certain it had something to do with it's appearance in the 1997 movie Nothing To Lose, with Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence. That's not a typo. It's actually a perfectly hilarious movie despite the plot holes you can sail a battleship through.
In fact, Here's the Clip!
Warning! The above clip contains strong language which may be offensive to younger viewers, spiders which may be offensive to arachnophobics, “Scatman” which may be offensive to music lovers, Tim Robbins dancing which may be offensive to just about anyone, and a Windows NT reference which may be offensive to computer professionals. Basically, nobody in their right mind should go clicking on that. Enjoy!!
