Solomon Linda a Zulu musician original 1939 song "Mbube" (Zulu for Lion) was recorded as the popular song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and later used in the 1994 movie "The Lion King."
So sad that the original creator Solomon Linda song "Mbube" (which Pete Seeger mispronunced "wimoweh") earned him less that one dollar!
This version by the Tokens became a worldwide phenomenon.
I'm glad his family was awarded royalties reverting back to 1987.
Es una canciòn preciosa que contagia, por su ritmo y letra, felicito a los compositores y a los que hicieron este video, es tan gracioso, como hermoso.
@Zardoc54 You sir, are wrong. God did not create this song. This song was created by The Tokens. You really should give credit to those who deserve it and also exist.
@masterhady You are the one who is wrong here. The Tokens DID NOT creat this song. Ity is a traditional African folk song covered by the Tokens. So if you want to "Give credit where credit is due" at least get it right.
@masterhady You are the one who is wrong here. The Tokens DID NOT creat this song. It is a traditional African folk song covered by the Tokens. So if you want to "Give credit where credit is due" at least get it right. Solomon Linda brought the song To America. Just check Wikipedia. But I still stand by my original statement.
@Zardoc54 Thank you, that is much better. I'm glad to see that you promptly educated yourself on the subject. And you are correct. This version/cover/what have you, was in fact created/sang/produced by THE TOKENS (the caps means i don't want you to miss it, just like your reply) Either way, you have still proven my blasphemous point. This song was created by traditional African folk/Solomon Linda/The Tokens. It was not created by your man made god. I'm glad we as an evolved species can agree 8^)
@LelouchLamperogue The nostrils are accurate but the eyes are too close together. A hippos eyes are far apart and look like they can see out the sides. Still a cute video.
This is a favourite with my 1 yr old ( and husband) I just watched again as they danced to it together .Don't know which was funniest the video or them
this reminds me when i was 4/6 it use to be something they played on a program called TOGO! it was advrtisement for a chocolate hippo called happy hippo i love this one it reminds me on my youth
its funny how the dog is dancing in the background
