The pair struck gold with “Hakuna Matata” – an upbeat ditty sung by a meerkat named Timon (voiced by Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa the warthog (Ernie Sabella). Listen to “Hakuna Matata” from The Lion King soundtrack now. The plan was that we wouldn’t write the usual Broadway-style Disney score, but try to come up with pop songs that kids would like.” Apparently, Disney were making their first animated film based on an original story rather than an existing work, and I was intrigued…. In his 2019 autobiography, Me, John recalled Rice’s original pitch, “Ten years after we’d last written a song together, Tim Rice phoned up out of the blue, asking me if I was interested in working with him again. When it came to writing the songs for The Lion King, Menken was otherwise engaged, so Rice turned to John. Rice was no stranger to Disney, having contributed lyrics to composer Alan Menken’s songs for the 1992 hit Aladdin after the passing of original lyricist Howard Ashman. The Lion King’s songs were written by rock great Elton John and the celebrated lyricist Tim Rice ( Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph & His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat).

But all great Disney films need some comic relief, and there’s few better examples than “Hakuna Matata.” “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” is a highlife-infused romp, “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?” introduces some romance to proceedings, and “Be Prepared” is a slinky and foreboding slice of villainy.

“Circle Of Life” was a philosophical introduction to the story of Simba, a young lion, and his journey as he succeeds his father as King of the Pride Lands.
