The Scatman played at half speed creates an incredible listening experience. This is crazy.

The Scatman by Scatman John.

Few songs embody the 90’s more than The Scatman by Scatman John. Yes you know the song “Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop”. What some may not have known is Scatman John had a stuttering problem and turned it into one of his greatest assets. In the 90’s he sold millions of records and basically invented a genre of dance music.

Let’s slow things down a little bit.

So so this brings us to today. This video is of the song played at half speed. Doing this to a normal song would drag endlessly and not be entertaining, yet The Scatman when slowed creates an entirely different song. I guess I never really even thought about the fact that this song had actual lyrics.

Time to mix things up.

Music manipulation is quite interesting as seen here in this David Bowie and Queen clip. Enjoy the video and always remember the day you learned that even if you’ve heard a song a thousand times, a little tweak can make it entirely new.
