Don’t Be Happy Worry

While the classic Bobby McFerrin song urges us to “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” this t-shirt design takes a different approach with its slogan “Don’t Be Happy Worry.” Whether it’s a case of misremembering the lyrics or a deliberate twist, the result is a design that may leave some scratching their heads.

Is this a simple case of bad design, or is there a deeper, albeit humorously dark, meaning behind it? Perhaps it’s a nod to a fictional relative of Bobby McFerrin, Bobby McFrettin, whose melancholic tunes never reached the same heights of popularity.
