Scat Singing


Form of singing used in jazz, where nonsense words and syllables and improvised sounds are used instead of normal words. Its invention is credited to trumpeter Louis Armstrong in the 1920s. Many singers use it from time to time to extend a phrase or to cover up a forgotten lyric.

Anglo-American vocal group Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross (1957–64) specialized in scat singing. The songs of Scottish pop group the Cocteau Twins (formed in 1982) are composed almost entirely of meaningless syllables chosen for their sound.
