Always wonder if African songs translate as "kill the white men kill the white man" XD

And as Louis CK so eloquently puts it, we totally deserve it lol.

Finally!!! I have waited for someone to share this I heard this many many years ago and I have never forgotten it. This is so precious to me!! I love this!!! A million thanks to you!!!!!

I was so fortunate to have the ability to listen to this every night while being lulled to sleep by our record player as a child. This is, and has always been, my favorite story! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to relive some of those memories! :^)

Love it! It was absolutely brilliant having Nicholson read this story. Heard it on NPR in 1997 and liked it so much I ordered a copy of the broadcast, and burned it onto mix cds for friends -- It was a huge hit with all.

I am so glad you uploaded this!

@forforfos Is there not a lengthy recording of Bobby McFerrin that comes with this recording? Would it be possible to upload that as well?

Thank you so much for sharing this! It is a beautiful performance/ interpretation and seems to be out of print.. How wonderful to be able to hear this classic story with grandchild immediately. Many thanks.
