90's giants release new song on 9122 Records

MUMBAI: 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 and contemporary re-creation of Scatman John's 1994 smash, Scatman.

Says an elated LOU BEGA on the release 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!”

9122 Records founder  Sunil D’Sa says, “Both these 90’s superstars have collectively sold a phenomenal 12 Million albums & 11 Million singles around the world…on CD! They were both pathbreaking and trendsetters in their time. Cut to 2019, a good 20 years since Mambo #5 created mayhem, as well as the passing away of Scatman John (1999) comes Scatman & Hatman – an insanely mind blowing re-creation of Scatman’s 1995 hit! This is as Classic as it is Fresh. It’s one of those instant HITS that will put a smile on your face and pull you to the nearest dancefloor…welcome to the Song Of The Summer!”

Scatman John, Lou Bega Scatman & Hatman is now available in India exclusively on 9122 Records across all streaming services.
