Wow guys, it’s the 20th anniversary of the best ‘in-betweenquel’ – The Lion King 1½ was released (direct-to-video) February 10, 2004
Let’s start by hearing the covers that were featured in the film, like Raven-Symoné’s cover of The Friends of Distinction’s version of ‘Grazing in the Grass’;
Then we get ‘Jungle Boogie’, originally performed Kool and the Gang, covered here by Drew K. and the French;
And a simply beautiful cover of ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ (which appears on several Lion King soundtracks and albums, and a little snippet in the original film as well) by Lebo M;
and we’ll end with a cover of ‘Diggah Tunnah Dance’ by The Mosaica Singers
