📺 Don’t Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin

Watched Don't Worry Be Happy from YouTube
Music video by Bobby McFerrin performing Don't Worry Be Happy.
Most will think that Robin Williams’ cameo in this video is the headline, but to me it’s Bill Irwin! I’ve been enamored of his work (and clowning) since watching My Blue Heaven in my youth. There’s nothing better than running into his work anywhere on film and television. I hope he ultimately gets the recognition he deserves for his work, which I think is sadly underrated. If you haven’t seen his Mr. Noodle work, go out and track it all down.

One thought on “📺 Don’t Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin”

  1. I’d been looking for something like this for a long time too.
    For the past couple of months, I’ve been using an IFTTT recipe that takes anything I watch on YouTube, which I designate essentially with their thumbs up, and it creates a draft post on my site. https://ifttt.com/applets/46019464d-if-new-liked-video-then-create-a-post-on-your-wordpress-blog
    Some things I keep privately while others get posted publicly. You could write most of the format of your “like” within the IFTTT interface, including the u-like-of.
    For a while I’ve been using the Post Kinds Plugin to parse the URL and pull in the meta-data as well as wrapping it with the u-like-of. Despite being more of a PESOS workflow, it’s pretty quick and simple. Here’s a recent “watch” post: http://boffosocko.com/2017/11/06/dont-worry-be-happy-by-bobby-mcferrin/ Though you could easily change the “Watch” metadata to a “Like” without a lot of work.
    Post Kinds Plugin is theme-able so you can modify things to display the way you’d like, though I generally find the default is pretty solid.
    Alternately, Post Kinds also allows you to create a bookmarklet that imports the URL directly to quickly create a post (of almost any type). I’ve detailed how to do it here: https://boffosocko.com/2017/08/11/post-kinds-plugin-for-wordpress/#Bookmarklet+Configuration
