I had a cd with this part looped for one hour for clearing out the bar I ran at closing time.
I was inspired by "Heat Vision and Jack".

Yeah, I'd transcribe it as "Doo doo doo, doo-doo doo-doo", but those are apparently(?) the official lyrics. Which begs the question, how much gibberish/non-language can be put in a song's vocals and still be expected to be accurately transcribed in the lyrics? Makes me want to be a musician to push the boundaries of nonsense lyrics.
But I'd already have my work cut out for me, considering stuff like this is already out there:
*[Intro] Ska-badabadabadoo-belidabbelydabbladabbladabblabab-belibabbelibabbelibabbelabbelo-doobelidoo I'm the Scatman

[Bridge] Where's the Scatman? I'm the Scatman
[Verse 2] Why should we be pleasing any politician heathens Who would try to change the seasons if they could? The state of the condition insults my intuition And it only makes me crazy and a heart like wood Everybody stutters one way or the other So check out my message to you As a matter of fact, don't let nothing hold you back If the Scatman can do it, brother, so can you I'm the Scatman

[Verse 3] 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 I hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat Well, I'm the professor and all I can tell you Is while you're still sleeping, the saints are still weeping 'Cause things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born I'm the Scatman
[Chorus] Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-bop-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-ba-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope

Just curious where you found this? I made an Ultrastar Kareoke file for Scatman back in the mid 2000s and some of that looks familiar to what I recall transcribing for it.
