Which artist is responsible for the 1988 ear worm "Don’t Worry, Be Happy"?

Respected jazz musician Bobby McFerrin hit it big with "Don't Worry Be Happy," the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a position it held for two weeks. The song also garnered a coveted spot on Rolling Stone's prestigious "Best Whistling Songs of All Time" list, among many other accolades. But the song's snappy catchiness (and utter ubiquity) quickly rubbed many the wrong way, transforming the title from a cheerful message into a Pollyanna irritation.
