McFerrin shows his musical prowess yet again. No smart ass, i'm not talking about "Don't worry be Happy," although yes that song rules too.

I got to see him conduct the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra once. During intermission he did an abridged version of the Wizard of Oz in which he played all parts.
It was pretty awesome.
That was cool as shit.
It just goes to show you, there really is something TO the idea of the Jungian "collective subconscious." I guarantee you that the entire audience wasn't musicians. But once you establish the intervals, people understand en masse where the next step is without having to be told. We've all experienced enough music to understand how these things relate to each other without having to think about them. Fucking fascinating, when you really think about it.
badass.
i actually had goosebumps.
