DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY Lyrics


I was driving, driving, driving down the 101
Singing 'California Dreaming' at the top of my lungs
Unaware, not a care
And then he appeared...
Thought he was winding down his window just to say 'hello'
But he started cussing at me, saying I'm going to slow
Then he yelled "Go to Hell"
And flipped me the bird...
Is it really that bad?
Really that bad
I don't think it's really that bad
Come on, get with it...
If you only think of things that you haven't got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don't worry... (don't worry), be happy... (be happy)

And if you're trying to make a move
But you're stuck in mud, under water
And you don't know which way's up
Yeah, don't worry (don't worry), be happy (be happy)
Another day, another plane, another interview
Just trying hard to get thru my list of things to do
What's the use, might fake the flu
Coz I've had enough...
That's it - screw the low carbs, where's my KFC?
Ain't gonna think about the bills or the GFC
Life is short - live it up
Coz we live it once...
Is it really that bad?
Really that bad
I don't think it's really that bad
Come on, get with it...
If you only think of things that you haven't got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don't worry (don't worry), be happy... (be happy)
And if you're trying to make a move
But you're stuck in mud, under water
And you don't know which way's up
Yeah, don't worry (don't worry), be happy... (be happy)
Yeah life is short
We only get to live it once
So live and love
And give it all you've got
Yeah life is short
We only live it once
So live it up...
Yeah life is short
We only get to live it once
So live and love
And give it all you've got
Yeah life is short
We only live it once
So live it up...
Is it really that bad?
Yeah I don't think it's really that bad
If you only think of things that you haven't got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don't worry (don't worry), be happy... (be happy)
And if you're trying to make a move
But you're stuck in mud, under water
And you don't know which way's up
Don't worry (don't worry), be happy... (be happy)
So don't worry (don't worry), be happy (be happy)
Don't worry (don't worry), be happy
Be happy, yeah
Don't worry, be happy, don't worry, be happy
Be happy, yeah...

MONGOL800 (モンゴル800) is a Japanese rock band that has found popular success over the past years. The melodic punk rock band from Okinawa broke into the mainstream with their 2001 release MESSAGE. Ever since then, their works have been highly anticipated. So is the case now, shortly after the release of their 4th full-length album, Daniel.

The trio consists of vocalist Kiyosaku Unzu, guitarist Takashi Gima, and Satoshi Takazato on drums. Thier notable LP, MESSAGE was actually originally an indies released. It stunned all when it sold an unprecedented 2,600,000 copies. In 2004, MONGOL800 released MOMO (Peach). The album was very successful and reached #3 on the Oricon charts. Following up their success they played a show in Los Angeles in March of 2005.

MONGOL800′s brand of melodic punk rock mixed with pop has put them on the map. Their lyrics often read like poetry and the vocal harmonies that they pull off are amazing. Dominant bass lines and unique song progression are also notable.

Daniel was released August 8th, 2006. Though it created buzz after-the-fact, the release was a rather abrupt. MONGOL800 found the spotlight in the early 2000′s and doesn’t show any sign of wanting to give that up.

Ever since I heard MONGOL800′s MESSAGE LP, I’ve been hooked. It is on eof my overall favorite albums. I recently got to listen to Daniel. I’m just as impressed as I was with MESSAGE. In their latest installment, MONGOL800 does drift a bit away from the heavily-pop/punk likings of MESSAGE. It’s surely a good thing. They explore a different musical route while remembering all of the elements that make them famous.

One of the touches that made MESSAGE so memorable were the beautiful vocal harmonies. To my slight dissapointment those were seemingly absent in Daniel. While it’s there, harmony is not emphasized nearly as much in the new release. Despite that fact, Daniel is stellar. Read more on Last.fm.
