Listen, despite the odvious evil associated with the terrible, terrible song "don't worry, be happy" Bobby McFerrin is actually super rad. Or at least this record is rad. I don't know where this falls within his discography and it would likely deplete my energy and sap my resolve to like this if I were to do any background research. I mean what if this falls after the aforesaid "don't worry, be happy"? Anyway, this record is great. Put it on, take a shower. Flip it over, put on your clothes. Fin. The perfect shower record? You barely even have to listen to the thing...Thats it. It passes the time and you get to hear a guy with a relatively deep voice scatting about who knows what. Here are some facts you need to know about this particular release which I think will bring you over to my way of thinking:
1. he is shirtless and shoeless on the cover...funny stuff
2. Herbie Hancock is on this record (HH wrote Axel F, dude)
3. Bobby covers The Beatles, Joan Armatrading and Richard Carpenter
4. Robin Williams (yes, him) is on this in all his super annoying mid '80's glory
5. I found this on the street...I got it for free...also important
