Hey guys, do you know of disco / funk / acid jazz songs that have scatting in them? I mean when the artist sings 'pah dah bah dah bah' or something like that instead of lyrics. My favourite examples are:
'September' and 'Badiyah' (mislabeled as 'Brazilian rhyme') by Earth, Wind & Fire
'Ride like the wind' by Christopher Cross
'Leads me back to you' by James Taylor Quartet
'Cars and girls' by Prefab Sprout (That's not disco at all, but I love it)

"Hot Shot" by Karen Young
"I Remember Yesterday" by Donna Summer
"Mr. Melody" by Natalie Cole (not sure if this classifies as disco, but it has a beat and she scats throughout the song).

It's amazing what moist towelettes can clean up (even easier if you wear PVC, of course I don't :roll: ) Blanche. BTW, it's a suede pochette with drawer string rather than a purse if u don't mind. :evil:

Oh Sandy, I'm sorry I asked. I thought it was a perfume or skin cream. Or a bug repellent!!! I'm not up on all the latest perv accoutrement, I guess!!! :oops:
Did you learn about PVC at The Hoist????

How did u know that Blanchie, that's spooky! Of course I never visited that particular venue as a 'punter', no, someone happened to tell me about it when I was employed there in an equipment dusting capacity via the Prissy Cow Employment Agency Limited. :-? Those men in chaps & harnesses etc.were always very sweet to me & often gave generous tips. :o I had to leave in the end after a misunderstanding with a rugby player in the darkroom. :cry:

Ah, SD I once mentioned a video I have that was filmed at The Hoist. You commented that you'd been there, done that.
But as a guest or an employee??? Are you yanking my plonker again?
Who was the chap who "dusted slings"??? I've forgotten..oh wait "BLAME MY PECS", right???? Or was it Blame It On My Pecs???? Where she be????? :D

I think Blame My Pecs must be in some sauna in Amsterdam 'cos he does't seem to visit here any more. I used to like the quizzes he set.

A few L.A. Boppers cuts have scats. Their version of 'La-La Means I Love You', for example.
Wynd Chymes' 'Alakazam' is scat-tastic.
