For the best videos in the history of YouTube. All sh.itjust.works server rules apply here. This is an archival community so moderation will be strict to keep the quality of posts at a consistently high level.

Some Rules

  1. No reposts unless it's been over 12 months and the original post wasn't highly upvoted.
  2. Tag NSFW
  3. Videos must be from before 2018. If they have been deleted and reuploaded, please make a note of that.
  4. Videos need not be originally from YouTube. If they were uploaded to some other platform (atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds) but fit the definition of an internet classic, that's fine. But you must post a link to a YouTube reupload, not to another website.

[Post-Chorus]

[Refrain]

Everybody stutters one way or the other

So check out my message to you

As a matter of fact, I don't let nothing hold you back

If the Scatman can do it, so can you

[Verse 1]

Everybody's saying that the Scatman stutters

But doesn't ever stutter when he sings

But what you don't know, I'm gonna tell you right now

That the stutter and the scat is the same thing, yo

[Break]

I'm the Scatman

Where's the Scatman?

I'm the Scatman

This song is over a decade older than YouTube.

I'm a scatman ... but in the sad way.
