Scatman + Ultraman = Scatulraman
I’ve mentioned before here that the whole Scatman thing kind of flew right by me at some point.
Fortunately, due to TV in Japan, I’ve had a chance to see and understand it since. And thank God for that opportunity. Because I can now properly put the clip below into the bucket of absurdity it deserves.
Something I’ve been noticing a lot in these clips. That drawn out ‘Eeeehhh!?’, like the one at 2:48 in this one. Is that mostly restricted to Japan, or is it generally Asian? I can’t recall ever hearing that kind of exclamation before.

Oh my god, it’s full of scat singing.

Hahaha, this video is too good for everyone who has heard Scatman!!
Evan: Yes, the “Eeeeeh” is a japanese only thing. Chinese or Korean people doesn’t do it.
It’s used to show surprise for something.
