The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

"'''Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)'''" is a song by American musician [[Scatman John]]. It was released in November 1994 as a single, and was later re-released in July 1995 for his second album, ''[[Scatman's World]]'' (1995). The song is described as "a blend of [[Scat Jazz|jazz scatting]], [[Rapping|rap]], and [[House music|house beats]]". It reached number-one on the charts in at least ten countries and also won the March 1996 [[Echo Music Prize|Echo Award]] in Germany for the best Rock/Pop single.<ref>((cite magazine|title=Echo 1996 - The Winners

==Background and release==
((more citations needed|date=November 2019))
Born in El Monte, California, John Paul Larkin suffered from a severe stutter by the time he learned to speak which led to an emotionally traumatic childhood. At age twelve, he began to learn piano and was introduced to the art of scat singing two years later, through records by [[Ella Fitzgerald]] and [[Louis Armstrong]], among others. Larkin became a professional jazz pianist in the 1970s and 1980s, playing many engagements in jazz clubs around Los Angeles. His first known performance on a studio album was in 1981 on the album Animal Sounds by Sam Phipps. In 1986, he released the self titled album ''John Larkin'' on the Transition label. This album was produced by John himself, along with Marcia Larkin.
((Quote box|width=22%|align=right|quote="In my opinion that song has a really strong message, I and John Larkin wrote the lyrics for old and young generation. Also, I think the track will go on to be an evergreen, because it's so catchy and original. On top of that, with old man singing dance music was not typical for the scene. I think this is such a positive song, that encourages people to do something out of their life and the message is AGE DOESN'T MATTER."|source=—Producer Tony Catania talking about the song.<ref>((cite book|first= Juha |last= Soininen |title= Move Your Body (2 The 90's): Unlimited Eurodance |publisher= BoD - Books on Demand |date= 26 August 2020 |page= 276 |isbn= 9789528026303 |accessdate= 14 May 2021 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=_WD5DwAAQBAJ))</ref> 
))
To advance his career in 1990, Larkin moved to [[Berlin]], [[Germany]]. From there, he discovered the appreciative jazz culture and started playing jazz gigs.<ref name="e">''[http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/famous/irascat.html Scatman John’s Interview with Ira Zimmerman]'', mnsu.edu.</ref> This was when he first decided to take a monumental step away from his insecurities and add singing to his act for the first time. His agent Manfred Zähringer from Iceberg Records (Denmark) thought of combining scat singing with modern [[Electronic dance music|dance music]] and [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] effects. Larkin was resistant at first, terrified of being laughed at and criticized once again, but BMG Hamburg was open. Larkin was worried that listeners would realise he stuttered, and his wife, Judy, suggested that he talk about it directly in his music.

Producer Tony Catania then received a [[VHS]] from Zähringer. On the tape, he observed Larkin playing piano songs from Fitzgerald, Armstrong etc. He told in an interview, "The sound was a little crazy but at the end of this tape, I remember it like yesterday, he starts his scat singing improvisation. I was thinking at the moment that this is a great idea. I say to his management to bring John Larkin from L.A. to my studio and in this moment, Scatman John was born!!!" In two days, working with producers Ingo Kays and Catania, the new single, "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" was created. Catania added, "Those days, the sounds were always the same, and I was coming up with an old jazz guy that had the talent to scat, something like that would shock the scene. I was right, Scatman John was a huge success worldwide."<ref>((cite book|first= Juha |last= Soininen |title= Move Your Body (2 The 90's): Unlimited Eurodance |publisher= BoD - Books on Demand |date= August 26, 2020 |page= 276 |isbn= 9789528026303 |accessdate= May 14, 2021 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=_WD5DwAAQBAJ))</ref> After the success of his first single, Larkin adopted the new name and persona of "Scatman" John.

==Chart performance==
The song was very successful on the charts all over the world, reaching number-one in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Switzerland, as well as on the [[European Hot 100 Singles|Eurochart Hot 100]] and the Canadian ''[[RPM (magazine)|RPM]]'' Dance/Urban chart. Additionally, it also entered the top 10 in Australia (8), Germany (2), Italy (3), the Netherlands (2), Scotland (3), Sweden (2) and the UK. In the latter, the single reached number three in its third week at the [[UK Singles Chart]], on May 21, 1995.<ref>((cite web|title=Official Singles Chart Top 100 21 May 1995 - 27 May 1995|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19950521/7501/|publisher=[[Official Charts Company]]|access-date=September 16, 2020))</ref> It climbed into the top 20 in Iceland (20) and Poland, and the top 40 in Japan (36) and New Zealand (39).

==Critical reception==
[[Larry Flick]] from ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' described "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" as a "novelty dance tune", noting that it "has a giddy [[Euro-NRG]] tone" and that Scatman John "bends his tongue to rapid, ear-popping effect."<ref>((cite magazine|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/90s/1995/BB-1995-07-22.pdf|first=Larry|last=Flick|title=Single Reviews|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=July 22, 1995|access-date=February 3, 2020|page=57|author-link=Larry Flick))</ref> Dimitri Ehrlich from ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' wrote that "this [[synth-pop]] hit defines novelty: A chintzy drum machine pitter patters at a frantic pace while John, a [[Los Angeles]] jazz vocalist who has stuttered since childhood, frees himself from his speech impediment by scatting for three minutes and twenty seconds."<ref>((cite magazine|first=Dimitri|last=Ehrlich|title=Music Single Review: ''Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)''|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|access-date=October 28, 2018|url=https://ew.com/article/1995/09/15/music-single-review-scatman-ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118201942/https://ew.com/article/1995/09/15/music-single-review-scatman-ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop/ |archive-date=2015-11-18 |url-status=dead))</ref> In his weekly UK chart commentary, [[James Masterton]] viewed it as "a bizarre part-rapped, part spoken, part-scatted dance hit performed by the enigmatic Scatman John who is almost as old as my father and really should know better. Still, a culpable hit it is and destined apparently for the Top 3."<ref>((cite web|last=Masterton|first=James|title=Week Ending May 13th 1995|url=https://chart-watch.uk/archives/1995/week-ending-may-13th-1995|website=Chart Watch UK|date=May 7, 1995|accessdate=September 19, 2021|author-link=James Masterton))</ref> Pan-European magazine ''[[Music & Media]]'' commented, "Try to say that title in one go without choking on your words.

==Music video==
The accompanying [[music video]] for "Scatman" was released in 1994 and directed by Kerstin Mueller. It was also produced by [[Ariola Records]].<ref>((cite web|title=Scatman John Music Videos|url=https://imvdb.com/n/scatman-john/videography-by-position/fiArtistPos|work=IMVDb|access-date=October 12, 2018))</ref> It was shot in black and white, and features a fractured screen with several boxes showing shots of John singing, along with various people dancing, miming and playing drums. The video was played in heavy rotation on music channels in 1995. It was later published on Scatman John's official [[YouTube]] channel in 2013.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy8kmNEo1i8|title=Scatman (ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop) Official Video HD -Scatman John|publisher=[[YouTube]]|date=November 20, 2013|access-date=September 2, 2021))</ref>
