The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Most children know this song from South Africa, performed by musicians such as the Weavers, The Tokens, and the Kingston Trio, from Disney's The Lion King and perform the melody and rhythms easily.  It can be sung simply, or, with the addition of xylophones, recorder, percussion instruments, and dancers can become a show-stopping performance event.
