bob jr Lyr Req: Lion Sleeps Tonight (77* d) RE: Lyr Req: lion sleeps tonight 30 Jul 00


but as it turns out (and this is a true documented fact i went out and read all about it) the lion sleeps tonight contains more of the original lyrics for mbube (which translates as lion) the trad version has the villagers trying to sneak up on a sleeping lion to eat him ..honest...many traditionalist in north america were upset with the doo-wop version (dont know why i personally like it) until it was discovered that they had actually done their homework!!
