Scatman's World
was the follow up single to "Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)" entitled "Scatman's World". This was as successful as it's preceding single and maintained Johns status as a popstar. The track deals with his world view and philosophy based on a vision of a utopian society he calls "Scatman's World" in which we all co habit peacefully and help each other out. The video begins with a reporter interviewing a disillusioned boy who is on his way to visiting "Scatman's World" from then on the boy is submerged in water whilst idylic images of fields and trees play out, intercut with crowds traffic and general hustle and bustle. Scatman sings against these backdrops about the need to find peace inside of ourselves.
The single came from his debut album of the same name "Scatman's World
" , released in the summer of 1995, and sold more than 3 million copies. Th the same year, Scatman John was given the 'Artist of the Year' award in Japan, has received the Golden Europa award for single sales, the Echo Award in Europe for 'cross-over artist of the year', and an MTV Europe Music Award in the Best Male Artist Category, alongside Michael Jackson, Dr. Dre, Neil Young, and Lenny Kravitz. Scatman-mania has, without a doubt, circled the globe.
