Cringe Alert: Watch as Maduro Sings ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’ to Americans
Breitbart ^ | 12/11/2025 | CHRISTIAN K. CARUZO

Posted on 12/11/2025 6:32:48 AM PST by SmokingJoe

Socialist dictator of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro on Wednesday sang a modified version of Bobby McFerrin’s iconic song, Don’t Worry, Be Happy as a “message” to American citizens amid growing tensions between both countries.

Maduro, wearing a Venezuelan straw hat, delivered his latest “artistic performance” during a regime event commemorating the 166th anniversary of the Battle of Santa Inés, a pivotal battle in Venezuela’s mid-19th Century Federal War.

“To American citizens who are against the war, I respond with a very famous song,” Maduro prefaced in Spanish before singing “Don’t worry, be happy” in English.

“Yes peace, not war,” Maduro continued, referencing one of his recent “English” messages, which have now become the subject of several parody remixes.

“Peace and love,” Maduro exclaimed while making peace signs with his two hands as the original song played on stage. “Not war. No, no, no crazy war. No, be happy.”

At first glance I thought the headline read “Mamdani” and not “Maduro”..it actually being Maduro makes it just that much sadder, and more cringe.

The landlord say your rent is late,
he may have to litigate
Don’t Worry - Be Happy
Ain’t got not cash, ain’t got no style,
ain’t got no gal to make you smile
Don’t Worry - Be Happy

It is a Venzuelan tradition. Hugo Chavez sang all the time. Here he is singing about Mrs. Clinton.

President Trump is truly bending over backwards to give this clown an out to leave the easy way, but he seems utterly determined to do it the hard way.

Memo from a not worried, happy American to Maduro: the hard way will go very, very badly. Especially for you.
