Remember that song. It came out in the late 70's or early 80's from what I can remember. It had kind of a Jamaican flavor to it. I HATED IT! Times were not easy. Economy was worse in many ways and some clown was telling me to walk around and SMILE!
FAST FORWARD....
I look at today's economy and it isn't much different. But with age, I have learned instead of dwelling on the bad...look for the good. It's OK to smile. People like it when you smile. A smile can open many doors.
What this song is implying is very simple...Chin up...smile...have a positive attitude. Things could be worse and for many are. Forge ahead to better days.
The basics of that song still hold true, even though "I" still find it annoying.
