The Kenya Shilling - Bobby McFerrin Firmly in Control of Analysis

So the 12th August 2017 edition of the East African (a Nation Media Group publication ) is reporting that the Kenya shilling is unshaken by poll jitters. I am not surprised. Actually I argued two days ago that such pseudo analysis will fill the air as business media looks for content that will make it look serious and analytical.

A better perspective would be reached if one was to take a deep dive beyond what the Shilling is trading at today. But don't bet on that happening; you will lose. Bobby McFerrin is firmly in control with his powerful message of "Don't Worry Be Happy". It worries me!

    1. "Don't Worry, Be Happy"


      Here's a little song I wrote
      You might want to sing it note for note
      Don't worry, be happy
      In every life we have some trouble
      When you worry you make it double
      Don't worry, be happy

      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry, be happy)
      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry, be happy)

      Ain't got no place to lay your head
      Somebody came and took your bed
      Don't worry, be happy
      The land lord say your rent is late
      He may have to litigate
      Don't worry, be happy
      (Look at me I'm happy)

      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be Happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      Here I give you my phone number
      When you worry call me, I make you happy
      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh

      Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
      Ain't got no gal to make you smile
      But don't worry, be happy
      'Cause when you worry your face will frown
      And that will bring everybody down
      So don't worry, be happy
      Don't worry, be happy now

      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      Don't worry, be happy
      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      Don't worry, be happy

      Now there, is this song I wrote
      I hope you learned it note for note
      Like good little children
      Don't worry, be happy
      Listen to what I say
      In your life expect some trouble
      When you worry you make it double
      Don't worry, be happy, be happy now

      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      Don't worry, be happy
      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      Don't worry, be happy

      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it, be happy)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      (Put a smile on your face, don't bring everybody down)
      Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (Don't worry)
      Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
      (It will soon pass, whatever it is)
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      Don't worry, be happy
      Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
      I'm not worried, I'm happy
