I like the song and the beach boys, but they have nothing to do with each over, honest spoken. The person who put this up and 90% of the world population seriously gotta learn music history.
@OllianusIV even youtube it self recons this song to the tokens.... youtube wins.. everyone else lost...
PEOPLE! if you dont know who theh ell made the song. dont fucking post it.. this was like saying gary moore was the leadsinger for queen.or farokh bulsara was a drummer for slade...
Actually according to Wikipedia the song came out in 1939, so that was before the Tokens in 1961. True, they are the ones who drove it to the top of the charts, but they were actually doing a cover and they did not write the song, just performed it better than anyone else.
Definitely the Tokens singing this!! The original title of the song was "Wimoweh" first recorded by the Weavers in 1952....re-recorded by the Kingston Trio in 1959.
the ideal vacation u can have is bein in a Hawaiian sunset by a beautiful beach with a bunch of friends chilling smoking some weed while this song is playing in the background. This song is how i imagine heaven to sound.
@BILLYFOXx93 No way did they sing this. Once upon a time a time the Tokens did. Lion King's Disney waited until copy right ran out. So it goes. Thanx, BILLYFOXXx93.
I think someone's just having a laugh. So it's the Tokens, but a great song & really well sung, the Beach Boys would have been proud of it... much worse are the later versions of the Beach Boys, like that led by Mike Love, or even Brian WIlson with his band, sadly his voice is not what it used to be. These guys are pretty good musicians but for me they just don't have the vocal magic of the original Beach Boys.
I'm definitely going to sing this for my college talent show. Have some backup dancers painted as zebras and antelopes, while i'm in a lioness costume. Just need to find a "mate" to sing it with me :)
Lyrics - UPDATED!!! Bawinbeweh (x16) In the jungle, The mighty jungle, The lion sleeps tonight, In the jungle, The mighty jungle, The lion sleeps tonight, Eeeeh-aaah-weeeeeaah-eeh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Eeeeh-aaah-weeeeeaah-eeh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Bawinbeweh (x16) Near the village, The peaceful village, The lion sleeps tonight, Near the village, The peaceful village, The lion sleeps tonight, Eeeeh-aaah-weeeeeaah-eeh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Eeeeh-aaah-weeeeeaah-eeh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Repeat!
who the heck sang it??? what a voice!!! howcum he sings in such a high pitch? AND get the might to sing like it? i would b sooo embarrassed if i had to!!! don't get moi wrong.
is this a conspiracy to spread the lie that the Beach Boys sing this??? It's the Tokens.... NOT the Beach boys... That's kind of Rock and Roll 101 sort of stuff... Are you a communist or something.
"Mbube" (Zulu: lion) written in 1939 by Solomon Linda and performed by his group, the Evening Birds. "Mbube" became a hit throughout South Africa: it sold about 100,000 copies in 1940s. Pete Seeger (The Weavers) In November performed it for a year in concerts. They recorded an adapted version entitled "Wimoweh", a mishearing of the song's chorus of "uyimbube" (Zulu: you're a lion).Their version became a top-twenty hit in the U.S. The Kingston Trio sang it too.
You 14 people who disliked this video........were you not love as a child? And never learned your thumbs up from your thumbs down? You thums down this video and song, so imma find u, break ur thumbs into an upwards position, and SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASSES!
This is a great song that i like but when someone is posting a Beach Boys video with a Beach Boys song with a Beach Boys title, and when i see that this guy put The Tokens instead, I DISLIKE!
But you surely didn't saw that! You heard that and you thought : "Mummm, the beach boys.... whouaou, cool song.... what? they dislike? houuuu, i'm upset!!!! why don't they like the beach boys?" BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT!
OPEN YOUR EYES AND USE YOUR BRAIN BEFORE INSULTING PEOPLE!
@altairassassin17 Maybe the people you told to go fuck themselves disliked the video because it was mislabeled. Maybe it has nothing to do with the song. Also, maybe I disliked this video out of contempt for you.
