"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by doo-wop group The Tokens is a 1961 hit that has its roots in the South African Zulu song "Mbube," originally composed by Solomon Linda in 1939. After several adaptations, including a popular version by The Weavers, this rendition by The Tokens brought the song international fame. Produced by Hugo & Luigi and arranged by George David Weiss, The Tokens's version features Jay Siegel's soaring falsetto and rich harmonies. George David Weiss added English lyrics, transforming the traditional folk tune into a polished pop anthem with vivid orchestration. The lyrics evoke a serene night in the jungle with lines like, "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight," creating a magical and tranquil atmosphere. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and became a global hit. Its catchy melody and unique sound have ensured its lasting popularity, leading to numerous covers and its iconic feature in Disney's classic The Lion King.
