Bobby McFerrin does Wizard of Oz

Bobby McFerrin singing condensed version of the Wizard of Oz for a late-80s PBS pledge drive. If anyone knows where the original video can be purchased, please let me know (I've called KQED and the conservatory, and both doubt that an original copy exists).

I think Bobby is the Wizard of Voice

The entire orchestra is like, "What the fuck are we even doing here...?"

McFerrin also performed this at what was going to be the last episode of "A Prairie Home Companion" in 1987. Although APHC is a radio show, the episode was was also broadcast on the Disney Channel (IIRC - pretty sure that it was Disney and not PBS). In fact, I think the last *few* episodes were on TV.

At any rate, there's another outlet to pursue to try to find an original video of this performance. Far be it from Disney to pass down a buck. ;-)
