Does That song about be happy really inspire you?

Actually worldwise, sometimes those songs make me dwell on things that make me unhappy. Now that's silly.

I think it's a silly song that I happened to LOVE when I was younger. It puts a smile on my face and reminds me not to take things so seriously.

Do you mean the Bobby McFarin song Don't Worry, Be Happy? I like that song! Songs can make me happy but the best thing I do for myself is when I first get up I tell my dogs it's a beautiful day and it'll be a great one. Then I thank God for giving me another wonderful day. That sets the mood for day and helps me handle stress and feel good about things.

Hi Hatley, No, I don't think its a sill song as I love it myself, I love these happy songs and when you sing them, it does make you feel happy, at the moment I have got this song, in my head and ca,'t get it out, I know you would know this one,"Beautiful, beautiful Brown eyes, Beautiful beautiful Brown eye, I'll never love blue eyes again,", I just cannot get it out of my head, lol! hugs.

Hi Hatley, I'll just go with what I think that it's a really annoying little jingle and if I was feeling happy and I had to hear that it would irritate me.

Hello my friend I use to like this song i have not heard it in years, I get my inspiration through books I have read a few good ones that really made me see things differently. Thank you my friend.

That song has always lifted my spirits. You can't help but smile and feel good when you hear it. If we all listened to those words and lived by them, we'd feel a heap better!

Lol no it certainly does not and I do not like it either lol I need to apologize, I have been wondering why I got no Discussion through from you and when I checked the Notifications was of I am so sorry my sweet Friend

The words do not really inspire me, but the tune is one that absolutely commands a smile and a lift to your steps.

Hi Hatley! I think it does in some ways because of how the song goes but then again, depending on my mood, it could be very irritating but it's kind of trying to say, be happy because being sad or upset isn't going to change anything which is true. But there again, it really depends on what mood I'm in and whether that mood wants to accept the song or not.

you know when it came out, i thought it was catchy and i did kind of liked it then cause i was fairly happy. but now i could just choke him cause so many people cant pay their rent or mortgage and its not good at this time who can keep from worrying right now?

I recently played it for my daughter along with “Always look on the bright side of life” as a means to cheer her up after a bad day and for her, because she is only seven it worked like a charm; she sang and danced to both songs. “Don’t worry be happy” is not so motivational but I admit the words in it make a lot of sense, it is not worth it to spend life stressing about things and always waiting for nothing to be wrong because that time will probably never come!

I think it is a bit silly but it cheers people up and gives you a lift and lets face it we could all do with that.

I like that song. I do think it's a silly song but has a deep meaning to it. It's catchy. Honestly I think the writter was brilliant because it's one of those tunes that is easy to catch onto and after you have it stuck in your head you start to take it a step further. I don't know that I feel inspired by it, but it makes me smile and that in itself is the whole purpose. Smiles are contagious ya know and I don't mind spreading a disease like that

If you are referring to the song Don't Worry, Be Happy, it's just a silly song to me When I was much younger such a song might have motivated me more, but now days, not at all
