Bobby McFerrin had the right idea when he sang those simple, yet undeniably catchy, wise words back in 1988. I still love this song. I remember how my mom and I would load Mr. McFerrin's "Simple Pleasures" LP onto my portable Punky Brewster record player in our kitchen and listen to this song over and over while we did fun things like bake cookies. It's a really awesome song that always takes me back to a gentler time when my life revolved around my hair crimper and New Kids on the Block.
BTW, did you know that "Don't Worry Be Happy" won the 1989 Grammy Award for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance? Also, did you know that Bobby McFerrin was born in Manhattan? And he performed the theme song for the opening credits of Season 4 of The Cosby Show. Wow, I think I love Bobby McFerrin.
80s songs=good advice=good news...and the video rocks.
