[JKeats82]

I never knew Judge Alex was a musician...

[krakenwave]

They way I heard it was that they met every Wednesday afternoon in the top back room over the Mecca bookies on the Lea Bridge Road for a threesome. Something about custard cremes as well.

[Sabatinitennis]

Poor lip-synching (in fact his voice was over-dubbed) by the lead-singer!

[Tweetypie175]

@Sabatinitennis The lead singer is my uncle...



[Durrah1999]

OH MY GOD

[tracegnet]

I luv this blast from the past funni and funni

[bunglebonce]

Up above the streets and houses

Bungle flying high

Opens up his hairy arse

And shits in Geoffrey's eye.

[acheface]

@bunglebonce Funny as hell! I'll nick that if you don't mind!

[bunglebonce]

@acheface

I just realised that my last comment has no relevance to the video. I meant to say this:

In the jungle, with George and Bungle

Zippy's having fun

Geoffrey's swimming with naked women

and you can see his bum

In the jungle with George and Bungle

The lion sleeps tonight

Geoffrey's swimming with naked women

And Zippy's done a shite.

[acheface]

@bunglebonce Still rampantly funny!

[Durrah1999]

@bunglebonce this is plain genius 

[jessicarose2k8]

[sampras19]

[bonesstorage]

Paul Simon based his whole career on this one track.

[michelleuk]

Great video and singer, love this novelty song, and yes a double for Van Persie

[AnAutumnsDay]

The girl is happy at the appearance of the Gorilla and then slips into the bushes with him for a bit of ?????? right that makes a lot of sense , doesn't it!

[Francis1930]

OMG this so takes me back to High School in the 80's, I used to fancy the leopard skin off the lead singer back then, the falsetto voice used to put me off a bit, but he's still cute!!!!!

[Theodorus5]

[Stube437]

[karmakaoskomedian]

love the song still - but didn't know one of the krays sang it !

[StNige]

Always liked this, but it's a shame it's such a close copy of the Tokens 60's version. They sound almost identical.

[Truimphful]

It's the start of a London riot if you ask me.

[Ericano6]

i used to quite fancy the singer steve erm something, cant quite remember but i know i had a couple of there songs this 1 and fantasy island

[5AU5AGEROLL]

My dad threw up all over this guy when drunk when this guy was singing in a club in 80s. True story.

[philcbr600]

[bigttim1]

[poersing]

[jimbobyrne1]

[SuperUsernameunavail]

[argdbz]

[matthewJmaloy]

Fair enough

[Kokoots]

I like the way the brunette is lured into the jungle by a fucking great hairy gorilla! Jelous or what?

[ianuk2008]

Great song from my younger days

[38dragoon38]

The best version ever!

[waterskippers]

That guy at 1:49 looks like Borat!

[poplova]

everything about this song is a bit freaky. especially the guy's singing, lol. really good song though

[Omegax9000]

Youll never see ppl this happy again

[Insolution55]

@Omegax9000 True, i was happy when this came out and alot of people i knew were happy despite being poor,the early 80s were good times, i mean im fucking suicidal nowadays what with one thing and another, i wish i could go back to 1984 and stay there

modern life in 2011 truly is a living death

[spezial18]

@Omegax9000 LOL!!

[Omegax9000]

This version is dope!

[paulvsmith]

I didn't know Robin van Persie was moonlighting in an 80s band.

[snorben]

@paulvsmith lol

[MrJMR2]

@paulvsmith

hahahahaha

[SonOfAsimov]

@paulvsmith robin van persie, he is a dutch footballer

[Bryann2345]

@SonOfAsimov yeah he pretty good he play in aresenal

[Kelly14UK]

Oh bloody hell. Early 82 and I was still wearing navy blue flarey denims. Had to pester my Mum for burgundy trousers. Looking back, I prefer the denims....

[sweepdisco7]

was it true that Steve Grant (the guy in tight fit) and eartha kitt had a relationship of some sorts?!

[branie99]

this reminds me of Carry On Up the Jungle

[stunninglad1]

My favourire record from 1982. A classic!

[misskitti7]

if yer can' t sink to this when pissed you need a check up from the nech up:p

[noproblem53]

God --I love gay pop--my description and maybe I should know better at close to 60 years old but this is so bloody brilliant----------------

[RayRoark2011]

@noproblem53 Dude its called Drama. It doesn't meen they are gay.

[noproblem53]

@RayRoark2011 No inference intended and certainly no critisism I think this is brilliant

. The "gay pop" referance is just a name I like to use for a class of music I love-- that few others have identified or enthused about. I have some gay friends an find a quality in them that most men lack--that quality comes through in this music. You sure as heel don't need to be gay to enjoy and celebrate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Omegax9000]

@RayRoark2011 simple minded aren't they?

[KELLYSWEBSITE]

this track is out omm dec 13th 2010 on i tunes new version is fantastic

[jobber25v]

classic song needs to be played more in clubs

[mytranslife]

THIS TRACK I ALL MINE MINE MINE MINE JUST FOR ME ''THUMBS DOWN'' SEE I sEND MIXED MESSAGE TO YOU TUBE AH HA ! NOW WHAT AM I THINKING YOU TUBE ? WHAT DO YOU RECOMEND now ? yes i am evil ! mine all mine !

[Truimphful]

The girls are so sexy. I wish I had married the blonde in the jungle hat. Instead of the blood sucking, wrinkled faced, money grasping, gossiping, non driving, £40 steak eating, night farting, mother inviting, dress trying (3 hrs) horror that I did. She looks so pleasant, pretty, curvy and fun.

[Infidelerious]

@Truimphful Hearing you on FM bro. I had similar including doing a runner and leaving me with the baby and the mortgage, and then years later having the front to force me through the courts demanding half the value of the property after I'd spent those years paying it off (she didn't win).

To any guys reading this, I'm not saying DON'T, I'm saying AS YOU LOVE YOUR SANITY BE CAREFUL.

[noproblem53]

I love GAY POP no excuses no regrets it is just so brilliant ------- I am nearly 60 years old and feel privaleged to be around when this music was current

[chewblued]

it's a nice tune though..ok its not cool but it hits something

[carloota2]

i love this version the best.

[JoeBall95]

knobheads

[JoeBall95]

complete twats

[jezz2k]

@Topmostpop Google 1939 mbube. The first known recording.

[larrykoopa67]

lol borat at 1:50

[ThatChrisGrubicShow]

When I first heard this song I thought it was a woman singing!!

[Crissbaby2008]

The singer reminds me of a friend of mine I worked with at Cedar Point. I like this version. Its pretty cool.

[MASTERMIKY4]

great song wish i was bak to that time againe !!!

[mekeskimfe]

Do tou know Bob the scratch ?

[etlcstn]

check out the Jimmyt Cliff version of this song 100% better that tight fit ever were

[WWEsuporterZ]

Singer reminds me of a soccer player in my country... Robin van Persie, Google him!

[mytranslife]

I LOVE THE LION TAIL SWISH LOL NOW THAT IS FUU HONEY CAPITAL !

[MukyMagic]

Sometimes when looking back on vids and music I liked as a 12 year old I wonder how could I not notice this Vid was not camp - am I hiding from my innerself - oh no do I like Liza Minneli ! Nope - its just the 80s had the best tunes - just uncomplicated tunes - whos cares this a brilliant tune as is Wake me up before you go go - sounds said just saying it but what a tune :-)

[mrsdaipunk]

dont make them like this anymore fabbbbbbbb x

[allisonfair]

that gorilla is a bit suspicious too!!

[fustyans]

I dont think thats a real Lion......:)

[Forserean]

Daddy, whats that girl gonna do with that gorilla?

[allmightydouche]

@Topmostpop

The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

It's on here, I just heard it for the first time. Think I prefer this version still ;-)

[MachinePhilby]

What!? 39 dislikes!? They should be sent to the lion....

[paws4thort]

a blast from the past. great : )

[ghostit101]

god this brings back a load of great memories.

[ingridfromholland]

Nice to see this again!!!! 1982 right? I was about 12 then....

[michellesvideosuk]

Steve is so sexy, Lol xxx

[KazzaTV]

Are they using autotune? So CAMP I love it XD!

[syvee45]

Bugger this was the first record I ever bought embarrassing really... My second record was madness night boat to cario..

[pet1892]

[OLDANDFAIRLYBALD]

@pet1892 Me too pet, me to x

[RoonJazz]

Ah, top stuff! What time it was to be young...!

[kurtmartial]

in the jungle with george and bungle, zippy bit my leg,'i limped away i limped away'

[pandy280677]

LOL :)

[NikBlack20]

The video is so ridiculus, that it actually is really funny.

[khaadimone]

Filmed on location on 80's Island!!!!

- I wanna go back there!

:-)

[margords]

its a great song loved it but he was lip sinking another guy sang it he was alot older and ethnic !

[fodder687769]

go on on ths is more like it

[carloota2]

I love this song's version.

[kopite4]

Impossible not to smile at this tune.

[SuperCoolEggbert]

I always thought this was a black or african-american group or something.. i feel retarded....

[herbaliser555]

@SuperCoolEggbert Don't feel that way. This song was originally done by South African group Solomon Linda & The Evening Birds, way back in 1936. So you were correct in that assumption.

[dave19711998]

I remember when it was released and even though I was young, I loved this song.

[croft84]

in the jungle the mighty jungle the 3 lions sleep tonight.in the village the quiet village the 3 lions prove there shite.in memory of the england national football team 2010.

[welchit]

@croft84 I second that notion.

[horrorboy1994]

At the summer camp I attended last summer, the other school that we were camping with blasted this song from their site at 5 in the morning, it was hilarious but at the same time very annoying, especially for the time in the morning.

[RayRoark2009]

1:25-1:27 there swords are not sharp enough to cut the weeds

[jerry303]

@RayRoark2009 - Fuck Me Ray Mears, Give the Lasses a chance, its their first time tackling each other's bush

[RayRoark2011]

@jerry303 O.o

[faricallas]

Esta canción tiene un ritmo estupendo; suena muy actual y se pega en seguida. N o me extraña que fuera su mayor éxito.Además, los videos de los 80, se interpretaban, quiero decir que los cantantes también hacian de actores y eran más artesanales que ahora, que son todo efctos especiales. Este videoclip, justamente por lo bien hecho que está conserva toda su frescura , a pesar que ya tiene 28 años.

[eddie23a]

Whoever wrote this song is an uneducated retard, lions don't live in the jungle, they live on open plains in sub Saharan Africa and South Western Asia, just thought I'd point that out.

[mikethefoto]

@eddie23a

And the majority of Tigers are in the Indian sub continent but Americans still expect to see them when they come on safari to Africa, so what does that prove.

[RayRoark2009]

Me tarzan you jane. Hahaha.

[Eyeball1711]

he sings like his pants fit very very tight.

love the song and the clip

[dannydvts]

1 hit wonder but so great

[TheZuf7]

@dannydvts

Yeah, one hit wonder with not orginal song. It's cover

The Tokens: Lion sleeps tonight

[Pulsar1867]

@TheZuf7  They are actually a 2 hit wonder! ;) Loved this when i was a kid btw

[woodster1965]

@Pulsar1867 Yeah i think the follow-up was called Fantasy Island.

[Pulsar1867]

@woodster1965 Correctamundo! :) Still fancy the birds too.Mind you,i might think different if i saw them now? :x

[discreditor]

@dannydvts sorry fella 2 hit wonder, didn't you see Fantasy Island?

[TheZanipolo]

This the official theme tune of Birmingham, UK. It is now officially a colony of Africa. 

[nialllewis]

AWFUL DEATH... THE LION WOKE UP.

[nialllewis]

this poor guy died an awful death

[Hondaboy27160478]

@nialllewis by 'this poor guy' I take it you meant, Steve Grant, the ex model who fronted the band for this single. He's very much alive and well and living in Spain, although he does now & then tour as TIGHT FIT. The actual vocalist on the track is Roy Ward, who's alive & as well as anyone can be whilst living in Wales.

[nooberr23]

@Hondaboy27160478 how do you know this. does steve grant actually sing then?
