Scatman's World

it's about how the wourld should be a better place

I think the song for me is like, End of comparison for whom in prisonned. In the song of "I" doesn't mean John himself. This "I" refers to the Voice from Scatland, and Scatland is the one of area of heart, where area of relaxation and peace overlaps.

Why this song still reminds me always in time to time is because this song magnifies and touch area of my unpolluted heart, where he called Scatland.

We are almost stopped to be fooled around by Limited Media control by Lie like TV or magazine.

Treasure is not out there, just Dive deeper inside of you and you'll find your own real treasure.

I think this song is about being yourself. And how you shouldn't be a racist. I really like this song. Scatman John is a pretty cool guy. He has good songs.

This song posits the theory that our individual, subjective perspectives of reality constitute individual, subjective worlds. As Conrad said, "We live as we dream, alone." The Scatman believes that his world, "Scatman's World," is superior to the worlds experienced by his listeners. The listeners are imprisoned by their own perspectives and are thus unable to experience the superior state that is Scatman's World. But the Scatman has a solution, "fantasy." If there is no way for the listeners to directly enter Scatman's World (and there isn't), then they must recreate Scatman's world from inside their own consciousnesses through the power of imagination. "Scatman's World," the song, is an aid in this process, as in the final two verses, Scatman John gives instruction on interior world building. If the listeners follow these instructions correctly, then "the lie" that was their own worlds will have been effectively replaced by the Scatman's truth.

i find it interesting how he sais "if part of your solution ISNT ending the polution... i wanna welcome you to Scatman's World" thats like saying, if you dont want to make the world a better place, then come to mine

also human being not doing means he wants to enjoy life for what it is, not just do stuff and do stuff till he croaks

and by the lie he refers to, hes refering to the lies that some people befall, like racism, hate, and unforgivingness. by doing this he is targeting the causes for bad stuff, not stopping the bad stuff themselves from happening

for example, to stop a waterfall, he would be redirecting the water up stream, as opposed to putting a giant wall infront of the water and cutting it off, untill it starts overflowing

I use to think that this song is just a fun and a little stupid song until I translated this song in to Hebrew and I relized that this song has a lot of moral in it! However it remindes me of the time when this song was a hit and I was in 6th grade at the end of 1995.

lol scatman

He's dead too. he died in 1999 i beleive

LOL This song is hilarious. It's probably the most politically correct song I've ever heard apart from Captain Planet's theme song lol. Scatman, fat man, black and white and brown man Tell me 'bout the colour of your soul Tell me the color of your soul". I love this song, it makes me laugh every time I hear it. I kind of feel sorry for Scatman John though, he was just trying to fit in with the movement, and now I'm laughing at him... Sorry Scatman John...
