"Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" is a song by American Eurodance artist Scatman John. The song was released in November 1994 as the lead single from his second album Scatman's World. Sales were slow at first, but the song was picked up by many radio stations, and eventually became very successful internationally, reaching number one in many parts of Europe and charting in Australia, New Zealand and in Japan.
Counter to standard practice, Larkin performed the song live on Top of the Pops. It was also used in the popular Good Humor ice cream advertising campaign of 1995–96, sung as "I'm a Good Humor Man".
The lyrics outline how Scatman John overcame his difficulties with stuttering.
Soundtrack was featured as background for some of the scenes in the 1997 film Nothing to Lose. It was also featured in the 1998 film BASEketball.
The American Dad! episode "Fathers Daze" featured the song quite prominently.
The music video appeared in the Beavis and Butt-head episode No Service.
