Alphabet Music Meme - L is for Lion

[aragarna]

How about another song from the acappella group Pow Wow? Le Lion est Mort ce Soir (French version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight)


Dans la jungle, terrible jungle
Le lion est mort ce soir
Et les hommes tranquille s'endorment
Le lion est mort ce soir

wiiiihihihi O Wimoweh (x2)

Tout est sage dans le village
Le lion est mort ce soir
Plus de rage, plus de carnage
Le lion est mort ce soir

wiiiihihihi oO Wimoweh O Wimoweh (x8)


L'indomptable, le redoutable
Le lion est mort ce soir
Viens ma belle, viens ma gazelle
Le lion est mort ce soir

wiiiihihihi O Wimoweh O Wimoweh (x8)

Dans la jungle, terrible jungle
Le lion est mort ce soir
Dans la jungle, terrible jungle
Le lion est mort ce soir

O Wimoweh O Wimoweh (x8)

Oh cool! And it sounds different to the UK version too, more African-sounding! :)

EDIT: I should clarify I mean the Tight Fit version, though the version by The Tokens also sounds different to the French version.

True. I think the lower voices of this French version and the acappella style make it more original.

[leesa_perrie]

Yeah, I think it does.

Though I can't help preferring the Tight Fit version, probably because that's the one I grew up with! Nostalgia and all that! :D

Btw, hubby and I have just spent the last few minutes doing this meme together *all your fault* Guess I'd better start posting it... though darn it, what do I do for 'lion' now?!!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Yes! \o/ *happy dance*

Iron Lion Zion ? Or.... Hakuna Matata ? (or anything from The Lion King)

[leesa_perrie]

Good ideas - though I have that feeling that there's something in the back of my mind! I just hope it will reveal itself soon!

I'm also hoping we don't have the same song for umbrella or yellow (though I do have a back up one for the latter one, just in case)!! :)
