Bobby McFerrin by Bobby McFerrin


Fresh off his success from this 1988 single "Don't Worry Be Happy," Bobby McFerrin was tapped by Pixar to compose the backing track to their 1989 short Knick Knack. McFerrin did the music for free, citing that doing the project would "be fun." The music for Knick Knack has never been released commercially. However it was released as part of a Bobby McFerrin promotional CD by Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) in 2004.
