In their defence, the story goes that the “RUSH” was supposed to be in a deep red but came back from the printers in the pink.  
Coincidentally, the “Caress of Steel” cover was meant to be a in polished steel but came back from the printers in that awful coppery colour.

Other than his displeasure with the Bush campaign for using his song without permission in 1988, I’ve never heard it said that McFerrin wishes he hadn’t recorded it: [Don't Worry, Be Happy - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Worry_Be_Happy)

Elvis told the producer and the engineer at the studio, “What am I supposed to do with shit like this?” This song may have helped inspire Elvis to start making GOOD records again in 1968!
