	7:06pm cat: if shooby had lived in finland instead of newark he would have been the yoiking champion of the world
	7:07pm Jesus: I love Shooby!
	♥ 7:10pm pinholga: Wait, are there people who don't love Shooby?!?
	♥ 7:11pm dale: i would love to see the lyrics sheet for this pennies from heaven.
	7:12pm Richard S: Shooby is translating English into an alien language.
	♥ 7:12pm coelacanth∅: i Love Shooby; and sometimes i tolerate his music too.
	♥ 7:12pm Webhamster Henry: He sounds really smooth here!
	♥ 7:13pm Switchblade Batman: From wikipedia, fascinating. Shooby Taylor was born in Indiana Township, Pennsylvania, on September 19, 1929.[1] Shortly thereafter he moved with his family to Harlem, where he spent the majority of his life. Besides Shooby's several decades of pursuing a career as a scat singer, he also worked 21 years as a New York City postal worker. Shooby recorded as Shooby Taylor, the human instrument. There is at least one "arcade recording", a two sided 45 rpm record of the acapella scat Expressing Myself parts 1 & 2 from 1971. This was given as a gift to Beverly Anderson who worked at the veterans hospital in Staten Island where, according to Beverly, Mr. Taylor was an intermittent psyche ward patient
	♥ 7:14pm coelacanth∅: (for the record i tolerate shooby's scatting more than Ella's or most anyone else's)
	♥ 7:15pm Webhamster Henry: So Irwin, are there isolated Shooby tracks so we can enjoy him in all his pure Shooby-ness and remix him on top of other arrangements?
	♥ 7:15pm dale: WHY was scatman caruthers a success? wouldn't it be great if shooby was the guy who knew the kid had the shining and got an axe in the back?
	7:18pm glenn: i pretty much can't stand scat
	7:18pm Richard S: "Key of Z" is a great book!
	♥ 7:21pm dale: i have that book. where i learned of the shaggs, shooby, the 'oh, canada' lady....
	♥ 7:22pm coelacanth∅: glenn, yeah. i'm trying to think of what scat singer i dislike less than Shooby Taylor, and i can't think of any that i have more than a bit of tolerance for.
	7:22pm cat: shoobie yippie yoik meow newark horn and human scat
	7:24pm steve: this is riveting
	♥ 7:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Lucky he could remember where he kept the key to that apartment and also that he found the key, at that.
	7:26pm glenn: it just seems pointless and frankly ridiculous.
	♥ 7:26pm coelacanth∅: hahaha! it is good for its comic value. - i don't know how it was a mystery to him that they didn't take him seriously. ...if he'd marketed himself as a comedian, they would've taken him seriously.
	♥ 7:27pm dale: if englebert humberdink had scatted a bit his version might have been memorable
	♥ 7:29pm dale: is ella's or mel's scat singing pointless?
	♥ 7:29pm dale: my wife just asked me 'is it called scat singing because it's shitty? like scat?'
	♥ 7:30pm coelacanth∅: Hahaha! dale that's hilarious!
	♥ 7:31pm dale: irwin - turn incorrect music into a netflix series.
	♥ 7:33pm coelacanth∅: i don't know if Ella or Mel scatting was pointless; but in my case, at least, listening to it is. it's something any child can do.
	♥ 7:36pm dale: geesh, this part is sad.
	♥ 7:37pm Switchblade Batman: I'm not a fan of the music, but this story is amazing.
	♥ 7:38pm coelacanth∅: yeh. i have things to do but i can't leave.
	♥ 7:42pm Webhamster Henry: The Shooby tape was in the WFMU Catalog, back in the day.
	♥ 7:43pm Webhamster Henry: "Shooby is a proven effective analgesic for temporary relief from existential pain."
	♥ 7:43pm Switchblade Batman: ok, I'm sorry, How the hell is this not funny?
	♥ 7:44pm coelacanth∅: so -going back to Webhamster Henry @7.15, are there any isolated/a cappella tracks of Shooby? i wouldn't mind giving them a treatment!
	♥ 7:44pm dale: people bought peter lemonjello - yet scoffed at shooby taylor.
	♥ 7:44pm Webhamster Henry: If RSM had one ... perhaps!
	7:44pm Sean: All this anticipation and it sounds like an Italian man having a seizure.
	♥ 7:45pm dale: gwilley edmondez took a page out of shooby's book.
	♥ 7:45pm Switchblade Batman: lol, I wouldn't put it that way @Sean, but you're not far off the mark either.
	♥ 7:46pm coelacanth∅: true...and it's not any less bearable than justin beaver or, well, nearly everything on the bill-bored top (of the bottom of the barrel) 100.
	♥ 7:47pm dale: what's wrong with you naysayers? IT'S GENIUS!! just the pursuit of the style is genius.
	7:47pm McGreivey: Shooby is upsetting my cat. I'm not sure if she's good-upset, or bad-upset. She doesn't usually care about music, one way or the other.
	♥ 7:47pm coelacanth∅: ...okay - maybe a little less bearable.
	♥ 7:48pm Switchblade Batman: I suppose. It's interesting, it's heartfelt @dale. But it's also very very funny.
	♥ 7:48pm Webhamster Henry: @Dan: get Dave The Spazz in here to discuss the Shemp Meditation Tape. (Which was actually the break-out hit of the WFMU Catalog)
	7:48pm Richard S: You can TRY and sing like Shooby - go ahead, I dare you to try - but he's impossible to copy. And like Florence Foster Jenkins, what comes through all of it is the sheer love for and enjoyment of music.
	♥ 7:48pm dale: i'll name my next cat shooby. or taylor.
	♥ 7:48pm coelacanth∅: haha! dale, i'm sorry! but i was doing shit like this when i was 7 years old. i don't think it's genius!
	♥ 7:49pm RomanDogBird: well it is
	♥ 7:50pm dale: THIS deserves to be heard at carnegie hall. alas too late.
	♥ 7:50pm zopa: Thanks for this, Dan.
	♥ 7:50pm Switchblade Batman: I wouldn't want to sing like him. God bless him that he loves it. But come on, it's unintentional comedy genius. It's the stuff of the finest mockumentaries
	♥ 7:52pm zopa: Oh... thanks be to Irwin too!
	♥ 7:53pm chris: so fun. thanks, Dan and Irwin. thanks, Irwin for following the thread on the guy; thanks, Dan, for having a show where Shooby fits right in.
	7:57pm Garbaggio Toblerone: thought he sounded familiar...department of eagles sampled him in "we have to respect each other"
	♥ 7:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: That's a nice way to end the story. Wow, and thanks.
	♥ 7:59pm dale: so much of music history is people getting discovered and people getting ignored and people getting screwed and people dying and people getting rediscovered
	8:00pm cat: the ghost that never walked
	♥ 8:00pm Webhamster Henry: Shooby would have done a great cover of "Let It Go".
	♥ 8:00pm coelacanth∅: jeez, Irwin, as much as i don't need to hear Shooby Taylor more than once every few years, Thank you for what you did with him. very respectable.
	♥ 8:00pm dale: good show - thanks dan, and thanks irwin for coming out after dark.
	♥ 8:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Dan. tchau
	♥ 8:01pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah, the regular jazz stuff is good. Just when he scats to Johnny Cash it's hilarious
	8:01pm Richard S: Thank you Irwin! Thank you Dan! Thank you Shooby!
	♥ 8:01pm Webhamster Henry: No Shooby polkas to segue with? Thanks anyway!
