Don't Worry Be Happy

This is the name of a song from the 80's that i like. I like it because it says don't worry about everything in life just be happy. I used to worry about everything even the tiniest thing in life that wasn't so important. Then my brother showed me a book called Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. What that is saying is don't let every thing upset you if it's not that important just try and be happy. What do you all think of this?

This hasn't come at a more better time. It's really hard when you can't keep yourself in positive moods. This looks like beneficial when applied every time we're sad.

Does anyone know what happened after this song became a hit back then? It's clear by responses that sadly no one does know. The singer of this song killed himself after writing and singing it. Obviously he didn't take his own advice, which is sad. But it is a good song, and I still hear it on the radio every once in a while.

I like this song - I like its message and its vibe, too, it's so laidback and catchy (however, my mom thinks its horrible, because she thinks the melody is too enervated for a song with a positive meaning - I don't agree with her at all). I like the message a lot... I think it's something lots of people should bear in their minds, that life is short, and you have to be less stiff to enjoy it to the fullest.

I like this song because it has an upbeat tune to it! However, "Don't Worry Be Happy" is sometimes easier said than done. Thanks for the reminder, I need to remember this when I have an anxiety attack.

I know that song too. It is really a happy song. Another happy song I heard is the song from Lion King 3, the "hakuna matata" it means no worries. :-)

I remember this song as well and it really is a feel good kind of song, the best part about it is there isn't any music it's just a really happy guy snapping his fingers and singing. But the lesson in this song and sayings like don't sweat the small stuff are great things to live by. There are plenty of small things that can go wrong daily but we need to learn to not let them overcome us. When you aren't upset by the little things people will like being around you better because you won't be taking out your frustration on them. It is a great lesson to learn to try and not get so upset about everything.
