I don't know Fatman Scoop, but I presume he is famous for his twist on the Postman Pat theme song.

I can hear the Postman Pat theme with Fatman Scoop so eloquently singing

It can be great! If the radio is on and the first thing of a track I hear is "Jason derulo" or alike I get a nice audio que to turn it off!
