Scatman's World Album

Scatman's World is the first mainstream album from eurodance artist Scatman John, released in 1995.

The title comes from John's second single of the same name.

Being produced by producers Ingo Kays and Tony Catania for Iceberg records under the BMG Label, this was John Larkin's first album of his "Scatman Project", which was based on the previous singles and introduced more songs which will be listed down here. The majority of the lyrics were inspired by the obstacles and inspirations in Johns life. Scatman (ski ba bop ba dop bop) deals with the fact that John stuttered. Famously his main concern with recording was that people would discover he stuttered, his wife suggested he make it the focus of the song and declare to people that he was a person who stuttered. Time (Take Your Time) deals with Johns time at Alcoholics Annonymous, a concept which would be revisited consistently on John's first two albums.

This album was preceded by two singles; "Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)", "Scatman's World". It would present "Song Of Scatland" as a single after the album's release. All three tracks were accompanied by music videos.

The track "Popstar" was released as an promo CD, no music videos for the track were released.
