If you think about it, this is the ‘Be Careful What You Wish For’ song. Simba is basically saying “I just can’t wait til dad dies.”

Dude he's literally on a beach with his friends all they need now is pizza

My son has autism and i played this today just hoping to get a moment to fold laundry. He has been playing Jonathan Young on loop since. Not complaining here!

We hang out with females. We swear.

how people could dislike this? Who can think that hearing Simba's cute voice becoming a bass voice in a rock cover is not one of the funniest thing in the internet?

As a Lion King fan I must say.... dude.... you nailed it

As a old lady from the era of punk rock, I must say I really enjoyed this! Most of the bands out there just call themselves punk. You guys are great! I'm a old/new fan! 😊

That moment when you realize this is the 'be careful what you wish for' song in the movie. The tears were real.

This video is absolutely adorable - YOU ARE ALREADY KING, in my opinion. :')

Alternative title for this song: "I Just Can't Wait Til Dad Dies"

Well you don't need to wait any longer, Jonathan! As far as I am concerned, you are already the King of Music on KZfaq in My Book! HAIL TO THE KING!

"Darling, it is that maniac again, kicking air and playing guitar on the evening beach. Should we call help?" Nah just kidding, amazing work!

Man, after rewatching this and actually paying attention to the video, I absolutely love the energy that everybody gives off! Great performance for a great cover man!

I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware Well, I've never seen a king or beast With quite so little hair I'm gonna be the main event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my roar Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing Oh, I just can't wait to be king You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think No one saying, "do this" Now when I said that, I No one saying, "be there" What I meant was No one saying, "stop that" Look, what you don't realize No one saying, "see here" Now see here! Free to run around all day Well, that's definitely out Free to do it all my way I think it's time that you and I Arranged a heart to heart Kings don't need advice From little horn-bills for a start If this is where the monarchy is headed Count me out Out of service, out of Africa I wouldn't hang about This child is getting wildly out of wing Oh, I just can't wait to be king Everybody look left Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm Standin' in the spotlight Not yet! Let every creature go for broke and sing Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling Oh, I just can't wait to be king Oh, I just can't wait to be king Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Maaan, maybe this is how we should all sing? I don't mean with the same voice but with the same energy, this guy's bouta explode, he feels like he's the king, this is the way to success isn't it?

This song might as well say I just can't wait till mufasa dies

I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware! Well, I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair I'm gonna be the main event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my Roar Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing Oh, I just can't wait to be king! (You've rather a long way to go, young master if you think...) No one saying do this (Now when I said that, I -) No one saying be there (What I meant was...) No one saying stop that (Look, what you don't realize...) No one saying see here (Now see here!) Free to run around all day (Well, that's definitely out...) Free to do it all my way! I think it's time that you and I Arranged a heart to heart Kings don't need advice From little hornbills for a start If this is where the monarchy is headed Count me out! Out of service, out of Africa I wouldn't hang about This child is getting wildly out of wing Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Everybody look left Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm Standing in the spotlight! Not yet! Let every creature go for broke and sing Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, I just can't waait... to be king!

I'm so happy to hear this song! It is definitely one of my favorites! I sang it a couple of times in my singing lessons last year and I was a bit ashamed because my classmates sang other songs and I was the only one singing Disney songs but anyway I sang it, my classmates help me with the last part of the song and it was an amazing moment in my life! 🥲

I swear your videos keep breaking my replay button.

no matter what cover I listen to I always end up listening to this one every time

His coolness is so far off the chart that it’s unbelievable. I love his videos as much as the cover.

Oh wow, you and Travis are actually TOGETHER in this one! Epic cover from one of my favorite movies, never stop doing what you're doing dude!

Jonathan Young is already a king. King of music covers. All hail the king. (Bows)

I love that guy who pops into frame to give Zazu's lines.

I love these kinds of music videos cause you can always feel the passion and that they had loads of fun making it

This guy just keeps getting more awesome

The nostalgia is real. I can't even tell you that my sons watch this movie like I did as a kid. They loved this cover and so did I lol amazing.

Rich and Jules in the background slayed me every timeeeee. Awesome cover Jon!

Keep doing what you're doing and you'll have a gold plaque from KZfaq in no time ^_^

This was Charles' song when the Queen was alive!!! Now He's King!!

Honestly didn't know what to expect with this, but after listening to it I like it.

When Jon becomes king Pizza will a mandatory daily meal and there would a holiday dedicated to playing Skyrim

Zazu: Yes Jon, u ARE king, n u totally ROCK!!! 🤟🤟🤟

It's like Suburban Legends without the horns! I love it

Now to hit replay over...and over... and over... until I get sick of it; which will be NEVER. Then I will hit repeat on the Disney album, over... and over... and over...

Jonathon can you please to a cover of "Life is a Highway" from Cars? Pretty please?

DANG IT JONATHAN! I WANNA ROCK OUT TO THIS BUT I'VE THROWN UP 3 TIMES TODAY AND I DON'T WANNA AGAIN! Cuuuuuurse you and you're epic music!

I have two daughters, both married, and three super-granddaughters, 18/7/2 years old. They like your music too! Merry wine and a happy, successful year for you and yours. LG Grandma Anni

" Everywhere you look I'm standing spotlight" -Gets shoved out of the way-

Johnathon Young is legit French Brendon Urie.

the memories are flooding back this was my second favourite song from the classic lion king favourite being of course Akhaunmattata

I like listening to Jonathan Young's songs. I whistled the tune of this song when I became High King of Skyrim on the video game I played for 2 days! Oh I just can't wait to be KING!

You're already my king.

Love it as always! This is very well filmed! Caught all the beautiful colors :))

My all time favorite songs. I am very particular about it. This is actually better than the original.

I've been sick all week and this just made my day! ^-^ This is awesome, why is it that every cover is better than the last one? You're making it hard to pick a favorite one.

I love this version. I can't stop watching it!! :)

I love this version of I just can't wait to be king!

I just can't wait... for more Disney covers!

2:20 I AM WHEEEEEZING OMLLL I LEGITIMATELY CANNOT STOP LAUGHING

Yes, this is what one would call epic! Crazy good dude!

My inner six year old self is squealing with delight as she punches through and I'm back in 1995 singing along with my VHS. Thank you for letting me time-travel back to that moment. 😀

BEST EVER VERSION FOR LION KING

Yes im 31 and yes I still love this movie but this version is better.

My brain cannot physically even begin to appreciate the ungodly brilliance that is the guitar in this song!

Goddammit, Jules' mannerisms in this were cracking me up, man. Great job with this!

Possibly my favorite Disney song by one of my favorite singers!!! Amazing!

Why isn't this more popular?!

I want to see Jonathan young sing the dramatic song

You have a voice of the gods :)

I bet you can’t wait to be king and Jonathan Young is a badass guys

It took me like a minute and a half to figure out that Jules was in the background because I've never seen him with non-spiked hair xD. Awesome cover!

YAAAAAS, I was keeping my fingers crossed hoping you'd end it with a high note and I'm not disappointed. *claps x1000.*

ANOTHER FLAWLESS COVER

We need this fun loving version of you back.

I love how energetic you are in your videos
