Don't Worry Be Happy - One man a cappella trio

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" is one of Bobby McFerrin's most popular songs. I hope you'll enjoy my original 3-part TBB a cappella arrangement of this little gem.
"Don't Worry Be Happy" was the first a cappella song to reach number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a position it held for two weeks. The Indian mystic Meher Baba often used the expression "Don't worry, be happy" when cabling his followers in the West, and the expression was printed on inspirational cards and posters during the 1960s. In 1988, McFerrin noticed a similar poster in the apartment of jazz duo Tuck & Patti in San Francisco, and he was inspired by the expression's charm and simplicity. He wrote the song that was included in the soundtrack of the movie Cocktail and became a hit single the next year. At the 1989 Grammy Awards, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" won the awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

--- LYRICS
Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now
The landlord said your rent is late
You may have to litigate
But don't worry, be happy
#behappy #dontworrybehappy #bobbymcferrin

    I LOVE Bobby McFerrin! It's driven me nuts my whole life how so many people misattribute this song. Anyone who's unfamiliar with him should absolutely look him up, he's called the One-Man Voicestra for good reason! His album Circlesongs was one I grew up listening to all the time, and I think it contributed a lot to my comfort with unusual rhythms and creative/tricky songs in general. Absolutely love your arrangements and production, and this one is as lovely as ever! Thanks for all your hard work!

    I hope you enjoyed it. :) Yes, KZread's algorithm is sneaky. Many of my subscribers are no longer even notified of my releases, even with the little bell activated. This channel has close to 160,000 subscribers, but view count doesn't reflect it at all. I guess there's too much competition for content these days. That's why it's important folks interact (like / comment / share) with content they enjoy, just to avoid going under the radar altogether.

She said she'd help me today so I can walk out of court tomorrow and this is was the only notification I had "Don't Worry Be Happy". It's going to be okay 😌😊
