Nathan Lane singing 'King of the Forest'

[noel888]

Perfect rendition of Bert Lahr's version. I saw Nathan Lane on another show where he sang songs just like Danny Kaye, and just as good. The guy is funny and talented.

[WillScarlet16]

Move over Simba.

[71crm]

@WillScarlet16 XD Ya got that right!!!!

[mcmptn]

@WillScarlet16  Yeah. "Timon" is apparently taking over Simba's kingdom.

[BarbossasWench]

Nathan has the world's greatest personality!

[QueenBeatlesWings]

they all are great as the cast of wizard of OZ. great musicians/actors on their own too, together they're awesome!

[ComedicArtist866]

Roger is a better tin man

[71crm]

You know what's funny...not too long ago I was watching the Fox dub of My Neighbor Totoro and they kept referring to Totoro as "The King of the Forest" and I was just picturing in my mind Nathan Lane singing that part about "Or the Artist Formly Known as Prince"! XD

[XsaviorofthebrokenX]

That shaky thing he does with his voice, not the vibrato, but the one that sounds like he's on a vibrating bed...? That takes EXCELLENT breath control. Well done, Nathan!

[PeterPanDisneyDork]

@XsaviorofthebrokenX i don't think so... it's kinda like laughing in key... it's pretty easy actually :) but, yes, well done to him, anyway :)

[XsaviorofthebrokenX]

@PeterPanDisneyDork I tried it once, and I had a hard time of it. But maybe that's just me, I have horrible breath control. Have you done it before?

[PeterPanDisneyDork]

@XsaviorofthebrokenX i think i did... it sounded pretty much like what he did, so i assume i was doing it right...

[WibSkelDS9]

The REAL Lion King, ladies and gentlemen.

[TheEpitomeofDarkness]

I just died of awe. XD

[billsurf101]

[PinkPunkyKat]

The cowardly meerkat.

[RosesNightengales]

[RosesNightengales]

"Not Queen, Not Duke, Not Prince! Or the artist formally known as Prince" lmaol

[wallywardsgirl]

[fozziefan]

[wickedlyaddams]

omigod i have this vhs lying around somewhere. i want to watch it again!

[PeterPanDisneyDork]

@wickedlyaddams me too!! i have no clue where it is, though! :(

[Jstruzz]

if anyone understands this statement, The wizard of Oz in Concert really took the music from the original and put it right in it's PLACE!!!!!!!!!

[Jal8919536]

Lane sounded like his characters Preed from "Titan A.E." at 0:33 and Spot from "Teacher's Pet" at 1:02

[Hewylewis]

Oh my god, this is too good!!

[Taxgirl38]

Thanx for posting - had the audio for years but have never seen it !!!

[Bellview]

[SnugglySara]

"...or the artist formerly known as Prince" Classic!
