Scat singing became a pop novelty with Scatman John in the mid 1990s, while Hatsune Miku launched as a Vocaloid voice in 2007 and exploded online in the following years.

The clip circulates as a short soundboard joke rather than a full song, shared for its retro internet feeling and the contrast between rapid scat syllables and a cute synthetic vocal tone.
