I think it would be worth the effort. At least it would be something a little different. I've always found scat singing pretty interesting, myself. But I've heard mastering scat singing (actually having a rhythm and method to the madness) is quite a feat, so good luck to you.

I've got something for you. Check out a song called "Dat Scat" by The Roots. See if it helps in your quest.

I'm not sure about this one, but does Jason Mraz do some minor scat singing? It seems like it to me, but I'm not completely sure.
