[Gurizin]

[lucyandnyuuatonce]

@Gurizin

ba dum tish

[nicomg1295]

@Gurizin he's gay, but that doesnt make his music bad

[Alleyhellcat]

I'm thinking that this is most definitely the Version that Aaron Carter had done on Disney Mania because of the instruments in the background sound exactly like what Aaron Carter had done when he did his own remix of this song :P lol XD sorry just had to say it :P

[TaryBelmont]

Oh! I LOVE THIS VERSION!

[Theriot6592]

I bet Prince William sings this to himself all the time. I sure would

[XxLuvMJForeverxX]

[yancini]

[torysama]

They used Bryan Adams in Spirit, but he can eat his heart out. Elton John's the man <333 sort of

[jackiehallam62]

[dracothedrangonful]

@celestialwolf93 I know right?

[WhiteLioness100]

@dracothedrangonful One time they played this song in the courtyard in New Orleans Square in Disneyland, and everyone got up and started dancing. I was pulled in XD

[dracothedrangonful]

@WhiteLioness100 I haven't been there. You are SO lucky!

[WhiteLioness100]

@dracothedrangonful Oh my god, it's the best place ever! And when they played it there, it was so much fun! One day in D-land is the most fun ever! You should go there sometime!

[dracothedrangonful]

@WhiteLioness100 I don't have the funds right now.

[WhiteLioness100]

@dracothedrangonful One of these days you will :)

[dracothedrangonful]

[bruxinhaas]

i've remember of hearing this version before!

elton john forever!, from portugal

[JMatOos]

Very good version!

[henrik174]

It would have been awesome if Elton John actually was a king :P

[smash91]

awesome version

[RodStewartfan1]

I agree Joekiddo1990!! =)

[origamipein18]

I love this version!

[BeachballSU]

The assortment of instruments and background singers sounding like the Beach Boys makes this song seem like it's performed on a beach.

[zephariacallisto]

I did too. I had the soundtrack on cassette and this song was on the second side and was the last song. I didn't even know it was there for the longest until I forgot and left it in the player. It came on and I started dancing right there while doing dishes. Sad....I know *sighs*

[maligoodguy]

this is the original, but i dont like it

[sarahsjb1]

I love this! hahaha

[MusicGuru4]

It might not of been "in the movie" but this is the original from the movie soundtrack. I own the soundtrack and this is the same version by Elton John (Not by Simba).

[1991012369]

Who cares if this is the original or if it isnt! Elton Johns just awesome and both songs are equally awesome in their own way!

[someonespecial1994]

you cant rewrite classics =[[[

[ThatsGoodTellivision]

They're both the Original, just different versions

[someonespecial1994]

this isnt the original. the original is the one from the movie...

[ThatsGoodTellivision]

Um, both versions were written by the same people (Elton John and Tim Rice), and both versions were released at the same time, on the original soundtrack.

[someonespecial1994]

uhm look, the song in the movie is the original.. okay? cant you accept that?

[ThatsGoodTellivision]

It's not that I can't accept it, I totally can, I can see your point, just I don't think you can accept that both this and the film version were made by the exact same people, at the exact same time. Look it up.

[someonespecial1994]

yes i understand that.. but the one from the movie is the actual song

[ThatsGoodTellivision]

But how do you know that? The soundtrack was released at the same time as the film. So for all we know either of them could have been written before the other.

The point is that they are both the original neither are re-written, the reason is because they're different, this one is Elton's take on it, the other is the way the movie used it, I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that they deserve to both be called "Original".

[someonespecial1994]

because the movie is the original lion king.. the sound track isnt!! its as simple as that..

[ThatsGoodTellivision]

Hah! You really don't get it, do you? Look at the fricking CD cover on this video, look at the bottom, it says "Original Songs", doesn't that prove to you that they're both original? Probably not because you're stubborn.

Just because a song is in a film doesn't mean it's the original (I'm not saying the one in the film is not original, I'm saying both versions are original) that's like saying a song in a film that was written 30 years earlier is the original, but it's not always that way!!!!

[someonespecial1994]

okay listen little girl, the lion king is a MOVIE not a CD!!!!!!!!! this song was NOT in the MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!! a DISNEY MOVIE never had this song in it!!!!! NOT ORIGINAL!!!!! got it, get it, GOOD!

[someonespecial1994]

okay first, i didnt know they didnt rewrite that. and i got over that before. but the one in the movie is the ORIGINAL!! deal with it k?

[ThatsGoodTellivision]

I totally can deal with it!

Okay, so lets just say (for the sake of ending this worthless conversation) that this isn't the original. It's still a different version of the same song, released at the same time, written by the same writers, who performed it as well.

Are we both happy? Good!!!!

Wow, I almost had a heart attack from this.

[ragsmel]

@someonespecial1994 actually, I agree with ThatsGoodTellivision, both the songs are original works of art. this song is just Elton John's version of the song used in the movie. oh, and the cd that's being discussed is the album for the movie. the producers of the cd included Elton's version because it provided a different look at the same song.

[someonespecial1994]

yes. a remake. exactly what it is. not the original song.

[sarahsjb1]

@someonespecial1994 its not rewritten

[sidmanp]

omg thanks for the post... i used to listen to this version on repeat when i was little

[joekido1990]

Yeah man, of course. I still kinda' do. lol

Some songs demand repeat.

[sidmanp]

lols

It's begun again. played it like 20 times yesterday.. off to a good start for today too.

It ain't just my right, even my left will be divine!
