I will openly admit, I am not a fan of Disney’s live-action remakes. I also did not care for The Lion King that much when it was an animated movie. Therefore, I have no intention to see the live-action film that is out now. Especially, after they cast Billy Eichner to play Timon and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa. Why did they think that was a good idea?
Then today my friend, Michael, sent me the audio of them singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight. How bad is it? Where is a Trump kid or that dentist when you need one? I normally am against trophy hunting, but in this case, it is OK to kill meerkat and warthog like they murdered the classic tune.
Since it is one of my all-time favorite tunes, I will listen to my favorite version of it from The Tracey Ullman Show. I think you should do the same. This way it will numb some of the pain caused by that movie version that sounds more like a hyena being eaten by a boa constrictor. Damn you, Jon Favreau, for doing this to us.
