LOCATION: Unknown , America

YEAR: 1999

TAGS: Don't worry be happy

PUBLISHED: February 4, 2008

This is my guildeline.This is the sole reason that with all the hard times that I’ve faced and have yet to face I’ll be ready be waiting, I’ll be ready. Believe it or not but the whole reason that I know this song is because my dad had a singing fish that sang only two songs; Don’t worry, Be happy was one of those songs.

I just love this song; Bobby McFerrin did such a great job at singing this song. It’s really simplistic and the message it's saying is the title of the song, not to worry and to be happy. Throughout the whole entire song talks about bad situation that happen and wants to enlighten you and say that it will be perfectly fine.

This song is not a song that I will just get up and start dancing to be when I’m facing a tough time or know someone who is. It gives me an encouraging lit that help me get through whatever I’m facing. The song is just so sweet and so heart filling; I just can’t help but smile and rethink about where I am in life and if it’s really worth worrying about.

alynn said: How can anyone not be happy when this song is playing--it is almost childlike in it's innocent refrain, but it reminds us worry changes nothing. Thanks for sharing. By the way I remember that fish--silly, but cute. (2/5/2008)

David said: It is a great little song. You can't help but wonder what was involved in actually recording it. What seems like a simple ditty actually touched many people... again, simple is hard. (2/5/2008)
