"That Loud-Assed
Colored Silence: SCAT."

00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:05.880 align:middle line:84%
You know, there's a
great story that--

00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:08.100 align:middle line:84%
it's apocryphal,
apocryphal story,

00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.100 align:middle line:84%
that Louis Armstrong
invented scat

00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:13.028 align:middle line:84%
when he was performing
and recording.

00:00:13.028 --> 00:00:15.570 align:middle line:84%
And he was doing a really good
take but he dropped his music,

00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:18.360 align:middle line:84%
and so instead of stopping
and ruining the tape,

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:22.128 align:middle line:84%
he's just like [SCATTING],,
like that kind of thing.

00:00:22.128 --> 00:00:23.670 align:middle line:84%
And it's interesting,
because there's

00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:26.850 align:middle line:84%
a similar apocryphal story
in "Planet Rock", that Afrika

00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:28.320 align:middle line:90%
Bambaataa song.

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.920 align:middle line:90%
[SCATTING] Right?

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:32.670 align:middle line:84%
That was because of
forgetting the lyrics.

00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:39.216 align:middle line:84%
But anyway, "SCAT, That
Loud-Assed Colored Silence."

00:00:52.430 --> 00:00:57.730 align:middle line:84%
Scat is a shitty way
to say it is shit

00:00:57.730 --> 00:01:00.140 align:middle line:90%
that falls down which that.

00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:06.530 align:middle line:84%
Scat is a shitty way to say
it is shit that falls down

00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:11.300 align:middle line:90%
which that to be shit.

00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:18.830 align:middle line:84%
Isn't there something
of nothing to be shit?

00:01:18.830 --> 00:01:23.750 align:middle line:84%
Isn't there
something or nothing?
