I sorta figured that not too many people would know Scatman John. Still he is a classic, I just wish he got as much popularity in the US as he did abroad.

I remember playing Counterstrike:Source and the Scatman song was one of the little audio clips we mods could play and I would love playing it as I was running around the map. :D

Heard it again a few months ago when one of my friends saw it in my iTunes library, championed is as the best song ever, and demanded I played it about 4 times in a row. I was never that keen it really.
