In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.
In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.

If you're gonna make just one great record, then be sure sure it's as great as that one. With that solitary little tune, the Tokens cemented their place in rock 'n' roll history! :headbang:

...all I can think of is the very funny skit on the Tracey Ullman Show that made good use of it.



edited because I left out a key word - "funny"!

5. Oh, yeah! I remember that skit.
It took place at a bus stop. Out of a clear blue sky, one of the people said something like, "You know, we all come here every day, but we don't even know each other." Then she bursts into the first verse of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," and the other people follow suit.

A very good skit, indeed! Thanks for reminding me. :yourock:
