Scatman's World is the debut major-label studio album (and second overall) by American musician Scatman John, recorded after the worldwide success of his debut single "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)". It is something of a concept album dealing with an imaginary Utopian society named "Scatland". He speaks about this at length in the liner notes, as well in several tracks on the album, most notably the track "Song of Scatland".

Scatman’s World ist ein Musikalbum von Scatman John aus dem Jahre 1995. Es erschien nach dem Erfolg seiner Debütsingle Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop). In dem Album wird eine imaginäre Utopie-Gesellschaft namens „Scatland“ beschrieben. Er beschreibt das mit dem Satz: „If you’re wondering where Scatland is, you don’t have to look too far; it’s between your deepest dreams and warmest wishes“ (Falls du dich fragst, wo Scatland sein soll, musst du nicht lange danach suchen; du findest es zwischen deinen geheimsten Träumen und größten Wünschen).
