Comment:

Scat: [n] singing jazz; the singer substitutes nonsense syllables
for the words of the song and tries to sound like a musical instrument (for instance: skee bodeeliah whap dop a dabba zoot)

(thanks to Gerry McDonald for "Schnicklebop"!)

Cab Calloway said it best:
Don't give a hang what words you use at any time,
Sing this silly language, without any reason or rhyme.
If you feel like shoutin', advertise it just this way:
And skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!

This is a thing of beauty. I LOVE Flying Home!!! (And have it waiting patiently to use on a mix of my own.) Oh and look, it's the inimitable Shooby Taylor... (Does this track approach the glory that is Stout Hearted Men?) Bweep shooly-a-dwee! I mean that, Cat.

I'll bet you have a huge composition notebook just full of handwritten notes on "Possible Themes"...and this one's birth attests to it. Smack it! (I'm thinking of track #3 on the Stones "Emotional Rescue" right now...)
