The one musical where one can proudly shout, "I played grass!!"

My friend and I are in the Lion King musical for my middle school and my friends were angry they had to be grass so I yelled in the middle of rehearsal "BE ENERGETIC GRASS DANG IT!" and they died of laughter.

"Rule this land" "Rule with love"

I feel like whoever plays grass in any lion king show, they become apart of a new cult, a new brotherhood. And when Mufasa says "When we die our body becomes grass and the Antalope eat the grass" like we kill Mufasa, we're the antagonists, fear the grass.

When 1:30 hits, I start shuddering from all the chills, remembering the scene in the movie when Simba runs through the Serengeti to get back home.

I still get chills hearing my voice. thank you Disney xoxoxoxoxoxo

Meaning of the lyrics (based on what I remember from my research): The song is written in Zulu. “Zum zum zum/mama ye” is just an ad-lib, like a scat or something. It doesn’t mean anything. “Woza mfana”, means “play, little boy, play”. It’s a reference to how cub Simba skips around on the grass, following his father as he leads him up to Pride Rock through the savanna. The lyrics of “Busa” from the second half of the song seem to be familiar with everyone, so I won’t mention anything about that. It’s a very simple chant, but the way it is performed on stage is so haunting and beautiful.

MAMA YEAAAAA

Lion king Is the most Beautiful Disney movies ever made! :")

I was originally put off by the strange combination Tim Rice, elton and John and Disney. How wrong I was. This is one of the best shows I have ever soon - don't miss it!!!

I have seen the musical in London and I was particularly mesmerised by this piece. You can basically feel the spirit of Africa glowing from it, if you ask me.

2:06 Me when I’m laying in grass

Holy shit, this is where the vocals from that song in LISA are from.

2:06 embrace the joy

I played Nala one night and Sarabi the other night in my high school's production and this is literally my favourite musical ever. So much nostalgia ❤️

This brings back so many memories of being in a dance recital long ago. The theme was Africa/African animals, and my dance teacher used this song as the opening song and it was amazing to be in. And just last night, I went to see my school’s play of lion king, and remembered my dance recital when this came on. If I could turn back time, I’d do it all over again.

Zum zum zum Mamaye Zum Mamaye Zum Mamaye Zum Mamaye Zum zum zum Mamaye Zum Mamaye Zum Mamaye Zum Mamaye [the above is repeated as a chant under the lyrics below] Woza Oh woza Woza mfana Oh woza Woza Oh woza Woza mfana Oh woza Woza (Woza) Oh woza (Woza mfana) Woza mfana Oh woza (Mfana woza) Woza (Woza) Oh woza (Woza mfana) Woza mfana Oh woza (Mfana woza) Woza (Woza) Oh woza (Woza) Woza mfana Oh woza Mamaye Busa le lizwe bo Busa le lizwe bo Busa le lizwe bo Busa lomhlaba Busa ngo thando bo Busa ngo thando bo Busa ngo thando bo Busa lomhlaba Busa le lizwe bo Busa le lizwe bo Busa le lizwe bo Busa lomhlaba Busa ngo thando bo Busa ngo thando bo Busa ngo thando bo Busa lomhlaba Ha mmm Hem Ha mmm Hem Yeah oh ah Ha mmm Hem Ha mmm Hem Yeah oh ah Ha mmm Hem

This song is so beautiful it made me cry and I rarely cry

Tallgrass Tussle

One of my personal favorites! Great job by Broadway and Disney!!!!

2:07 holy shit this was sampled in lisa the painful called tallgrass tussle

I’ve seen the Lion King show a total of 3 times. Or maybe 4 I can’t remember. But this song right here, the music is what inspired me to learn African dancing. And I LOVE IT!

2:06 lisa the painful

I teched this show twice, and it was amazing both times

I would’ve liked if they included this in the remake as the soundtrack for the scene where Mufasa shows Simba the kingdom (“everything you see exists together in a delicate balance”). With more scenes of Mufasa showing Simba this and that around the Pride Lands.

Someone good at editing, please make a 10 hour version of the last part of the song (Busa le linwe bo, busa ngo thando bo, busa lomhlaba)

2:05 Lisa Intensifies
