Comedian Mike Goodwin here for our Buzzyblog Twofer Tuesday and it is a good one (or two!)

The way I once heard it went similarly. In life, it is a fact that a bigger worry will invariably drive out a smaller worry. Given that there is always a bigger worry coming along to drive out the smaller worry, you really do not have anything to worry about!

The Buzzy take was even more distilled (no alcohol-related pun intended.) He would say “I don’t worry about anything that has happened. I only half-worry about what is going to happen. But I am totally concerned with what’s going on right now.” (I would always come back with “Dad, I think they call that take-it-one- day-at-a-time.”)

I have not played this tune in awhile but it sort of fits in with today’s “Don’t worry theme.” It remains the only a capella song to have ever reached Number 1 on the Billboard charts. It went on to to win both Song and Record of the Year Grammy Awards in 1989. (In case you are wondering what is the difference between Song of the Year and Record of the year (click here.)

Full disclosure, seeing Robin Williams in the video did not make me too happy given how he went out of here. Maybe he should have listened more to what Mike, Buzzy and Bobby had to say about not worrying.

But hey, I am not going to leave you on that semi-downer of an observation. So, back to music for a minute: I always thought that The Lion Sleeps Tonight was an a capella song that hit Number 1 on Billboard’s list.

Turns out that it did make it to Number 1 courtesy of the Tokens in 1961. However, because it does have a couple of instruments in it, technically it was not entirely an a capella tune. Bobby still has that distinction (click here.)

However, since it is a Twofer Tuesday, here is The Lion Sleeps for you – Wimoweh and all. The Tokens were a Brooklyn, New York doo wop group that initially featured Neil Sedaka as one of their members. He left the group in 1958 to pursue his solo career before the Tokens then hit it big with the Lion tune in 1961. Warning if you listen – you are going to be “Wim-o-weh-ing” the rest of your day.

Anita Darlan is the female vocalist featured in the tune. (click here.)
