I seem to remember the music being credited to Bobby McFerrin, of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" fame. Bobby is famous for his innovative musical style, and the technique used for Knick Knack (and one of the Cosby Show themes) is to treat the human voice as an instrument. He arranges the piece for multiple instruments, then "sings" each instrument himself and builds the recording up in layers on a multi-track system. Of course, I've never seen Bobby McFerrin and Al Jarreau together, so who knows?
