The Duttons - The Lion Sleeps Tonight #duttontv #branson #duttonmusic

The Duttons Cover the iconic "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with a characteristic Dutton flair! The Dutton 3rd generation go wild and become African jungle animals! In fact, one of the Dutton children doesn't fair so well in this stage version of the classic song - you're going to have to watch it to see the surprise outcome.

We found the history of this song super interesting so we wanted to share. From the Wikipedia article found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_Sleeps_Tonight
""The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is a song originally recorded by Solomon Linda[1] under the title "Mbube" for the South African Gallo Record Company in 1939. Linda's version was written in Zulu, while the English lyrics were written by George David Weiss. The song was adapted and covered internationally by many pop and folk revival artists in the 1950s and 1960s, including the Weavers, Jimmy Dorsey, Yma Sumac, Miriam Makeba, and the Kingston Trio. In 1961, it became a number one hit in the United States as adapted in English with the best-known version by the doo-wop group the Tokens. It went on to earn millions in royalties from cover versions and film licensing. The pop group Tight Fit had a number one hit in the UK with the song in 1982."

Enjoy.
