"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" began as a 1939 African popular music hit "Mbube" that, in modified versions, also became a hit in the US and UK.The Tokens are an American male doo-wop vocal group from Brooklyn, New York. They are best-known for their chart-topping 1961 single, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". "The Twist" is a twelve bar blues song that gave birth to the Twist dance craze. The song was written and originally released in 1959 by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters . The song, and the dance the Twist, was popularized in 1960 when the song was covered by Chubby Checker. His single became a smash hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 19 in 1960 (one week), and then setting a record by being the only single to reach number one in two different chart runs when it resurfaced and topped the chart again on January 13, 1962 (two weeks). "Peppermint Twist" is a song recorded and released by Joey Dee and the Starliters in 1961. Capitalizing on the Twist dance craze and the nightclub in which Dee performed ("The Peppermint Lounge"), the song hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in early 1962. The original recording of the song was considered too long for release on a 45 rpm single, so it was split into two parts. It was this first part, "Peppermint Twist (Part 1)" which became the No. 1 hit; the mostly instrumental second half of the recording is rarely heard today. "Duke of Earl" is a 1962 #1 hit song, originally by Gene Chandler. It is the best known of Chandler's songs, and he subsequently dubbed himself 'The Duke of Earl'. "Duke of Earl" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on January 13, 1962, and held the #1 spot for three weeks. It was on the Hot 100 for a total of 15 weeks.

Ein kleiner Einblick in das Lied "Mbube ah Yimbube", das Lied des Löwen, das später vor allem mit der Popversion "The ion sleeps tonight" bekannt wurde. Wir (ich in grün) sangen eine Version von 1939 von Solomon Linda, in Pomeroy geboren. Das Lied basiert auf einem Hochzeitslied aus der amahubo-Tradition, das Linda von Mädchen aus seiner Heimat Msinga gehört hatte. (Konzert vom 30. Mai 2008)

His father was a jazz pianist/composer/arranger of Jamaican descent, while his mother was an African American schoolteacher from South Carolina who sang gospel. His grandfather married a St. Kitts woman. His sister was Carole Fredericks. In his song titled "Ain't It Funky Now", he talks about his past and where he grew up. In the early 1960s he studied agriculture and animal husbandry at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and graduated in 1964. (The same university also gave him an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree in 2006.) While there he formed Taj Mahal & the Elektras; using a stage name of the Taj Mahal was inspired by a dream. After college, he moved to Los Angeles and formed the group Rising Sons with Ry Cooder in 1964. The group signed with Columbia Records and released one single and recorded another album which was not released by Columbia until 1992. Taj, frustrated with the mixed reaction to his music quit the group and went solo. Still with Columbia, he released a well-received, self-titled album in 1968, and based on its success released a second album, Natch'l Blues that same year. The two-record set Giant Step, released in 1969 firmly established Taj as an American blues artist, with its title track becoming a cult favorite still popular with today's audiences. Taj and guitarist Jesse Ed Davis are also known for their performance in 1968 on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. His music blends various sources: blues, reggae, Cajun, gospel, bluegrass, Hawaiian, African and Caribbean musical traditions. He plays an assortment of musical instruments. He has received two Grammy Awards in the category Best Contemporary Blues Album, the first in 1997 for Señor Blues, and again in 2000 for Shoutin' In Key. In 2002, he featured on the Bo Diddley tribute album Hey Bo Diddley - A Tribute!, performing the song "Bo Diddley". He has performed on various movie soundtracks including Sounder and Blues Brothers 2000 in which he also appeared. He also appeared briefly in the motion pictures Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (as the gatekeeper), Six Days Seven Nights (as the singer at a resort hotel), Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (as the leader of a swing band performing at a party), Outside Ozona and The Song Catcher. He can also be heard singing the theme song and playing the acoustic guitar soundtrack on the children's cartoon Peep and the Big Wide World. In addition, he wrote and performed the title theme song to the Star Wars spinoff cartoon series, Ewoks. He is also the composer of the famous song She Caught The Katy (along with Yank Rachel) which is the first song performed by Jake Blues (John Belushi) at the beginning of the movie The Blues Brothers. In 2006, he appeared as a guest musician on the Ladysmith Black Mambazo album Long Walk to Freedom, playing an electric guitar backing for "Mbube" ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight"). On February 8, 2006, Taj Mahal was designated the "official Blues Artist" of Massachusetts by Chapter 19 of the Acts of 2006. On December 16, 2006, he appeared with his band, Taj Mahal Trio, at the 18th Annual Warren Haynes Xmas Jam in Asheville, NC. The appearance was recorded for an upcoming DVD which is to be released in early 2007. In 2006, Taj Mahal moved from Hawaii, where he had lived during the peak of his career in the 1970s and since 1992, to Berkeley, California, where he had lived previously, during the days of the Free Speech Movement (1964--1965). Earlier, on 8 February 2006, he was named the official Blues Artist of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

This video is a very old song in a newer version (by the Tokens), interpreted by an hilarious duo, Pat the Hippo and the Stanley, the Dog; by Pierre Coffin. The song is based in an African popular myth that says that Shaka (Zulu's last king a.k.a. The Lion, for people who didn't play Sid Mayer's Civilization), wasn't dead, he was just sleeping and someday he would wake up. *** Animation and interpretation is (c) of Pixar, Original song by Solomon Linda *** Song Lyrics: We-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de de, we-um-um-a-way We-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de de, we-um-um-a-way A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight In the jungle the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight (repeat Wimoweh chorus) Near the village the peaceful village the lion sleeps tonight Near the village the quiet village the lion sleeps tonight (repeat wimoweh chorus) Hush my darling, don't fear my darling.
