Details Lead Performance: Scatman John; Genre: Pop

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. Feel-good, forgettable, radio-friendly fluff. C
