Song of the Day: The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Today’s song is The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens.
Doo-wop.
Wanted to throw in a classic. This has a ‘fun-nature’ that never gets old.
There is something so soothing about the sound that it always cheers me up.
Hush, my darling, don’t fear, my darling,
The lion sleeps tonight.
The track is over sixty years old, but many still appreciate it. I think it’ll stick around for a few more decades.
Most recognize this as the song for that old video with the singing hippo and the dancing dog.
Yeah, it was an EXTREMELY old meme. Very ancient Internet Humor.
