-
- I seem to remember the music being credited to Bobby McFerrin, of "Don't
- Worry, Be Happy" fame.
-
- Bobby is famous for his innovative musical style, and the technique used for
- Knick Knack (and one of the Cosby Show themes) is to treat the human voice
- as an instrument. He arranges the piece for multiple instruments, then
- "sings" each instrument himself and builds the recording up in layers on a
- multi-track system.
-
- Of course, I've never seen Bobby McFerrin and Al Jarreau together, so
- who knows?
