In 1961, two RCA Records producers, Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore, hired Juilliard-trained musician and lyricist George David Weiss to arrange a Doo-wop and Rhythm & blues cover of "Wimoweh" for the B-side of a 45-rpm single called "Tina", sung by group The Tokens. Weiss wrote the English lines "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, The lion sleeps tonight ..." and "Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling ..."

He tells the animals that no one can harm another until the drought has passed. A zebra speaks up, saying that since the first law wasn't followed and was violated by Mohatu's own kind (the lions), he wants the protection of the wildebeest. Nevertheless, Wildebeest refuses to go, as he doesn't trust the hippos near the river. A hippo testifies and claims the crocodile is the only animal that should be feared. And then, Mohatu shouts to the animals to be silent. The animals begin to debate amongst themselves with Zebra concluding that it is every animal for themselves. 2ff7e9595c
