Elton John, Circle of Life

[wiisalute]

does this make anyone cry?

[IThinkILoveParamore]

@wiisalute Yes ,everytime!

[TasteMyFish]

lion king is best movie of disney

[zhhyr]

To my sister Carol:

Thanks for the link. Just after Mom passed, Codi also has.

Love you and be strong.

..Elton John IS the DUDE !!!

[donmacish]

he is gay

[GatsbyHater]

@donmacish NO WAY, REALLY? -_-

[MyJan63]

@donmacish being gay is not a big deal as long as he makes people happy because of his great songs and great talent in singing... he deserves respect !

[SuperGuilamo]

nice video

[aveebaba]

i love this

[KleineMaus954]

diese neuen disney filme haben es gar nicht erst verdient als disneymeisterwerk bezeichnet zu werden. in den 90er jahren hat man sich noch angestrengt was gutes hinzukriegen...siehe könig der löwen usw. aber der heutige 3d shit ruiniert einfach alles.

[arvinian01]

look like an old muddy man

[nigt7]

The best version of this song ever!

[Bo618]

Beautiful song and movie thanks

[studentinberlin]

a wonderful movie!

[supertamal2000]

hu.. Elton is British...

[weylin6]

I think he means that the movie was made and first released in america, idk

[tylerwar3]

Elton is British

[RistixBerlin]

lol epic fail....

[Jibjub80]

I'm curious why the lyrics are somewhat different in this version from the version which was used in the Lion King? The part which goes, "some say eat or be eaten, some say live and let live, but all are agreed as you join the stampede, you should never take more than you give" is not in the Lion King.

[ryomafujieiji]

I think because when it came out it was geared towards younger kids so they couldn't make the movie thast long so they couldn't use this version beacouse its longer. I don't know thats just what i think. Preferably i like this version better than the one they used in The lino king. But i like them both.

[daryl991]

@Jibjub80 this is the full version its what he wrote and is in the musical

[cooljoeh13]

i want a pet lion cub :)

[daryl991]

@cooljoeh13 dont we all

[cooljoeh13]

XD of course

[xmethadoneprettyx]

he's a freakin genius.

[Lehnerd57]

but they did have elton songs at end of credits of the movie

[supertamal2000]

thats right!, the first version they did in my country,didnt have the new song, but just the original song of the movie in english.

when I finally seen the IMAX version years after, they had finally put this version of the song as the ending.. weird isnt it?

[jvfunn3000]

Elton John did good with this song and the Trail We Blaze song from Road to El Dorado!

[gvendurst]

After you hear this song you don't want to hear any other song. This is too good, words can't describe it.

[FloridaJim100]

This song always reminds me of the time I swam underneath a waterfall in northern Costa Rica.

[007jbond007no1fan]

how come its diffrent then tthe1 in the film?

[supertamal2000]

Elton John had to please disney execs to get the songs in the movie, but Elton felt he could do better I bet, thats why theres 2 versions, one with african style for the movie. and one in Elton's pop version.

[peterk87]

Elton John - what a legend.

As you say supertamal2000 Elton's version has much more rythm to it than the original.

Thanks for posting

[halyfantitanic]

a grate song sung by a grate brittish singer

[Ag3ntW1nd3x]

i wish i had a pet lion :(

[NotedStrangePerson]

This is an especially good video. For once I actually watched it instead of just listening to the music.

[RandomGuy4234]

DISNEY IS THE BEST

THIS IS A GREAT SONG

so inspirational and so emotional

[supertamal2000]

this song isnt from disney, this is Elton John's personal version with Tim Rice lyrics.

[Gracechild24]

This song is very very inspirational, and gives us all a new meaning of life when you really listen to the lyrics. I myself am a Christian, and while Elton John might not be a religious man, he has written a song that moves Christians around the world. Thanks for posting this wonderful song!

[3RDIDGUY1]

All of you Socialists Libtards he did say you should never take more than you give.

[supertamal2000]

at least we socialists liberals can type somewhat better than you, retarded neo liberalist :P

[Cervezasi]

Because communist socialists think at a retarded pace.

[WASP021]

Left wing socialists are the thorn in the side of the progression of the human race. Take take take.... lazy bastards. They need to stop moaning about successful people and start fucking contributing and progressing.

"To anger a conservative, tell him a lie. To anger a Liberal, tell him the truth".

[mukeforpeace]

EIn unvergesslicher Track zu Lion King!!!

Elton you are the greatest!!!

[ganzobenstehn]

Yeah, missing words.. Annoying.

[supertamal2000]

like.. wich words?

this is Elton's version of the song created by Tim Rice and Elton himself.

so not sure wheres the "change"

[ganzobenstehn]

Hm, maybe that´s just why and because of that hack at 1:23 but I don´t know if that´s the video or the song.

[supertamal2000]

yeah its the damaged part, I might try to reupload it someday, maybe ill find a better version somewhere.

[ganzobenstehn]

Nothing very wrong with this one though..

[laurajaine1978]

is it just me or is there words missing ;)

[supertamal2000]

what do you mean with words missing? o_O

[duranReuben]

the little lion cub is so incredible cute !!! :D

[Kokoots]

It will grow up and eat you!

[yunova]

thats the circle of life lol

[Kokoots]

Yep. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

[Steve130489]

bella

[Bergajivel]

i love this song, when my friend passt away thay played this on his funeral :'(

[FunKittie]

The lion king are the best Disney's ever...

but now we only get stupit shit :(

[supertamal2000]

you must have missed most of pixar stuff, the only one that I didnt liked was CARS.

[FunKittie]

yeah may your right xD

[NevergonnaNEDM]

The Lion King had incredible music. What the hell happened to Disney?

[eatenvik]

yea i hate the new shit, they lack personality

[kimmijrockdork]

@eatenvik I guess you haven't watched anything recent...

[22choji]

@NevergonnaNEDM it got hanna motana that what happened i want the old disney not the new crappy vesion

[DarkPlauge241]

@NevergonnaNEDM They got sucked in to the fucktard black hole known as reality t.v. O_O

[kimmijrockdork]

@DarkPlauge241 What reality TV? they don't play reality

[nebuwolves]

elton john is really good

[PorchDinkey]

uh-oh uh-oh..

[XxxMaddieLovesYouxxX]

i just played this at a concert on the steel drums

[Minan3]

you know, this song lifts my spirit when i have a stressful day at work

[2pac4life400]

he kinda remindes me of Steve Irwin RIP dude we sure gonna miss u....Crickey did u see that

[AkumuKeayo]

...Wow. I don't pay attention at the best o' times. With all the times I've re-watched Lion King again and again, I never noticed that Simba's voice is the home improvement kid. I recognized his face thru this video.

Huh. Now it makes MUCH more sense that the "morning report" doesn't sound like Simba.

[gothyoda]

Morning Report was something added in the anniversary addition release, which I think was back in 2003, entirely new person.

The person who sang "Can't wait to be king" wasn't JTT either, but compare Morning Report to Can't Wait to be King and you can tell that its two different people.

[chickenpl17]

amazing, wonderful, simply the best :)

[Sabineisduhnaam]

Great Song.

I Really like it. =D

[MrMatto91]

WTF is timetraveler2006 babaling about?

[mrjoker3000]

Best Song ever! Elton John Pwns!

[daffurn]

epic...

[schneider91]

ein genialer musiker, der neben phil collins die disney filme noch schöner gemacht hat! große klasse!!!

[Djksgsler]

hast vollkommen recht möcte dieses lied immer hören

[cl0wnwill3atm3]

This song shall be used if I ever decide to make a Haibane Renmei AMV.

[Emina0308]

beautiful! *-*

[froststream123]

Yes, this is a really nice song, Elton rocks!

[nattytorrezao]

as Lions are King Of The Beasts, they also represent Christ The King, King Of Kings & Lord Of Lords, whose Birthmonth & Astrological sign is rightfully a Leo. Christ = The Conquering Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah!

[blushadow08]

Lion became the king of beasts through terror...I would rather think he is a representation of Sekmeth, Tyr or Ares...

[7thswan]

does anyone listen anymore

[yuxiang16]

This is nicer than the original? I AGREE!

[SweLink88]

Ditto

[ChipMaplewood]

LIVE LONG ELTON!!!

[a99z69]

I love this song

[andres7598]

lo mejor hace llorar

[texico11]

"live and let live"

STOLEN from McCartney :O

[KujasLover]

...It's a way to live, so it's not stealing it.

[texassteak]

well its live and let die

[timetraveler2006]

it's not just mccartney who coul'dve had this idea.

my grandma who couldnt speak english used to tell me this...

[Fixas1029]

Amazing song

[beatlesforever65]

We sang this in our choir last year...it was one of the best things I've done in my life! I hope we did this song justice. :)

[Kokoots]

I think it could just be a fault with the video.

[supertamal2000]

it is, there is a small corruption in one part of the video

[amanda690]

why does this song always cut out the wheel of furtune at 1.23 mins? its part of the song and you can totlly tell its missing

[catcherper]

MAYBE ELTON DIDNT LIKE THAT LINE

[amanda690]

we played this song at my dads cremation, i will never forget it, its a fabulous song and neans alot to me and my family :)

[xDylanG]

Nice Song.

[mew1157]

this was absolutely beautiful! 5 stars!

[Evilhamster13]

my fave song from elton john ^^

[nomie2005]

I prefer this version

Such a nice song

[darthguy3]

This version is nice, but I have a relation with the Lion King version. This doesn't have the same charm.

[Romesh0001]

love this song, the cub is cute, but be careful when handling cubs they can be as vis (speaking from expierience)!

[misspingu07]

I love this song...

[Headfirst4Romance]

This version is allot better ^.^

[StarBoy62]

I agree!^^

[Headfirst4Romance]

(high 5} ;)

[Headfirst4Romance]

I never Finished This Movie :p

[fruitroll7]

well you should!!! it's by far the best disney film!! =))

[Headfirst4Romance]

:P

I did right as soon as I posted that comment

I though It was about time.

[steffieiih]

haha at the biggining i was like "aww what a cute cat" and then i was like "omg its a friggin lion!" xD

[wishingstar22]

Jonathan Taylor Thomas at 3:18 or so. Cute.

[RikiFaS]

Beautiful... I prefer this version too... Elton John is great! His voice is so beautiful. And the lion cub is so cute!!! ^_^

[kathy950]

luv his voice! btw is the lion cub his or part of the video?

[KennysDeaths]

who the hell is allowed to own a lion cub?

[Kokoots]

Elton has lots of lion cubs, he only keeps them for about a year, then gives them to a zoo and buys another one!

[littlesongbird1]

Where did you get this info? I wrote a thesis paper on the exotic animal trade and I heard no such thing!

[Kokoots]

He obviously keeps it a secret.

[fruitroll7]

if he kept it a secret then no one would kno about it.... hence u would NOT kno about it

[Kokoots]

Oh you Americans are so astute.

[detroit20081]

This song live forever.Look at how emotion Elton was when the time he sing this song.Simple the best of the best.

[JMH2285]

The lion cub is really cute.

[Kokoots]

Don't be fooled it's a vicious killing machine, and would rip your throat out given half a chance.

[JMH2285]

Please, think about that statement first. It is just a cub, and NOT full-grown yet. When they get grown, THEN you should worry about it wanting to kill things.

[Kokoots]

You obviously, don't understand sarcasm.

[JMH2285]

Actually, I DO. I just prefer not to use it.

[boroboy99999]

well thats the circle of life nob head

[Kokoots]

W.T.F barrowboy?

[paradeaddict]

fortune was bleeped..

[marysssa1]

magic ! both the song and the cartoon

[rozeryn]

love this song, love his voice!

[musiqcrazy]

I LOVE this song!! Back in about 1995 we danced to this at our Dance Recital!!!! :)

[liamsullivangbr]

I think this song is amazing and the little Tiger cub is so adorable, This song suits the film perfectly. Elton John is amazing.

[Ukraine1986b]

its a lion cub!

[Silbermondie]

i really love this song! And in English it's much better than in German! :)

[padude64]

I have a true blue friend dying of Alzheimers disease! Say a prayer for my friend Bob Boothby! A great man!

[IceAlchemist886]

and you write this... becauuuse?? o.O

[diddykong8]

why the hell did you post this here? it has nothing to do with this video and then you get mad at someone else who asks you why you posted it? sounds like your friend isn't the only one with a mental condition.

[brivanas]

I agree. Sucks for your friend, but why the hell would you just throw that out there? He has alzheimers, and you are psychotic lol.

[opqrt75]

This song has been played at more funerals than you can imagine. It really does sum life up and Elton does it great. I guess you can say Elton John has sang at more funerals than he will ever know

[gold2040]

so much heart, so much soul, so much everything :)

[paddlesh]

this song rules!!!

[kathastic]

perfect way to start a movie

love love love this song!

[fatty1yoyo]

love this song! he is talented even though he is old

[thre1third]

Eat or be eaten, Never take more than you give, you name it Elton!

[supertamal2000]

so bad the rich bastards and the top guys who rule the world just knows how to act"deaf" to good intentions.

[thre1third]

wow, this song is just fantastic!

I never thought about it as in this lyrics before, man it's just fantastic.

[59771006]

The video's out of time with the singing. Has anyone else notice that?

[nowayout001]

so???

[59771006]

So? in a music video the artist is ment to mouth the words in time with the song.

[59771006]

Reginald Kenneth Dwight aka Elton John does a excellent job at singing this song he is such a great singer. Do you want to know another singer who is gay? David Bowie.

[DMR3000]

Oh my god this song made up the movie. I'd like Scream if I saw Elton John he's just a singer you can enjoy listening too.

[Bigfehn]

Matthew Broderick from Godzilla is the voice of Simba...wow, thats new for me..

[texassteak]

i never knew that matthew broderick was the voice of older simba. thats neat!!

[vanagace]

great song... I remember the first movie seen in the cinema "Lion King"... Gosh at those times it was amazing, I was like 7 years old. Good memories :)

[Mietin]

"You should never take more than you give"

Somehow this thing these copyright holders do, sue and threaten people for stuff like this, doesn't seem right. If not anything else, this video and song, is old, and the majority of people who view it, propably have some day paid for it, say, watching the movie in a theatre. It's not about justice, just selfish people pumping money out of a corpse at the expense of others. The actual owner of the video might as well post it and not spit on the fans.

[brightblonde57]

One of the best from Sir Elton xx

[padude64]

I dedicate this song to Glenn Deming, a true American!

[padude64]

Go Elton!!!!!

[nero91]

copyrights suck balls. it's not like they don't have enough money -.-

[Betinka21]

Great:)

[mokske19]

Why would someone be banned for this version? I mean, it's even better... ♥♥ love it!

[swatofficer86]

It violates copyrights someone holds on this version. Plus part way through the sync gets messed up and the sound appears before the words are spoken.

[DefLepRock83]

I loved this movie so much, i called one of my cats Simba, unfortunatly she ran away, i still miss her......
