This song was written and performed by Soloman Lindo in 1939 under the title "Mbube," which means "lion" in the Zulu language. In 1951 a version was released by Pete Seeger and the Weavers, who called it "Wimoweh." In 1961 The Tokens released a version called "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."

Who beat boxes to the lion kings the lion sleeps tonight?

I Believe you are on the wrong , err jungle trail. the song (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) also known as wimoweh, was originally recorded by the Tokens. unfortuneatly for its (Sleep tight, the situation is secure) motive, Lions, like most jungle animals tend to prowl about int he nocturnal hours! Lion King is an atheist Disney production. The song Lion sleeps tonight was recorded by the Tokens and I believe also Robert John which was actually a group.
