Pete Seeger was interviewed on PBS on Labor Day, and he talked about Wimoweh, among other things. I think he said that the chanting "uyimbube, uyimbube " (pronounced "wi mbube") means the lion (mbube) is sleeping, but that most people in singing it slurred it into "wimoweh."

By the way, Mnzy, I loved the "Wienerwhack" song. Is there more of it?
