The two 90’s giants in suits and hats, Scatman John and Lou Bega, have joined forces to release an infectious new single Scatman & Hatman, embarking on a musical journey through time! The single is out today across all streaming services exclusively on 9122 Records.

2019 is not only 20th anniversary of Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of…), which became an international smash in 1999 and turned Munich-born singer Lou Bega into a pop sensation, but it's also the 20th death anniversary of musical magician John Larkin aka Scatman John.  

Being from the same era, Lou Bega had always dreamt of collaborating with Scatman John. Unfortunately, John prematurely passed away in 1999…but Lou Bega did not give up on his dream! So while it couldn’t be done in its traditional way, the solution was to use old DAT tapes with vocal recordings of Scatman John.
Lou teamed up with the German producer Roland Spremberg (a-ha), and together they re-created Scatman John's 1994 hit and aptly titled it Scatman & Hatman. The track mixes the instantly recognisable original hook line with a brand new melody and lyrics…and then all dressed up in a modern hit cloak with Lou’s characteristic swing beat style!  The end result - an absolute Fresh & Contemporary re-creation of Scatman John's 1994 smash Scatman.

Says an elated Lou Bega on the re1lease of the single, “Twenty years is nothing, like a shadow, a vapor, it’s gone in one second. That’s why I am more than happy to have been traveling in time saying Hi to a new generation. A 90s ScatMambo punch for 2019!!! John Larkin would have loved it indeed!”

Scatman John, Lou Bega Scatman &Hatman is now available in India across all streaming services.
