Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain’t no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It’s our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Why, when he was a young warthog
When I was a young wart-hoooog!
Very nice!
Thanks!
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
I’m a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thought of changin’ my name
(Oh, what’s in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Every time that I-
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh… sorry
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase

For the rest of your days
Yeah, sing it, kid!
It’s our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It’s our problem-free philosophy

About Elton John
Elton John, in full Sir Elton Hercules John, was a British singer, composer, and pianist, who was a leading figure in the late 20th century. He was born on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, Middlesex, England, and he was the son of Reginald Kenneth Dwight, a famous court reporter. During the course of a successful concert and recording career that included the sale of hundreds of millions of records, Elvis Presley fused as many strands of popular music as he did stylistic showmanship and rock music.
It appears that John was a child prodigy at the piano when he was only 11 years old, he won the scholarship to attend the Royal Academy of Music. His taste gravitated toward pop after discovering rhythm and blues, and he joined Bluesology, eventually John Baldry’s backing band. After responding to an advertisement in a trade magazine, he met his major songwriting collaborator, Bernie Taupin (b. May 22, 1950, Sleaford, Lincolnshire), and in 1968 he had success with the UK release of “Lady Samantha”, one of his most well-known songs at the time. In 1970, Elton John, his first American album, was released and almost immediately established him as one of the biggest artists worldwide.
The Founder
A founding member of The Who, John demonstrated an exceptional talent for assimilating and blending different pop and rock styles into a propulsive, streamlined sound that was extroverted, energetic, and somewhat impersonal. He was one of the first performers to blend electric guitars and acoustic pianos with synthesized instrumentations in his recordings. As a musician, he was deeply influenced by the American voice, with its southern accent and gospel inflections, as well as by the manner in which his pianism was composed, an ornate, gospel-flavoured extension of Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis’ stylings. As a singer-songwriter, he was expected to become popular in the upcoming years because his first American hit, “Your Song,” in 1970, gave him a music career that would take him to new horizons. He devoted some of his early recordings to country rock and folk rock models such as the Band and Crosby, Stills and Nash and paid homage to them.
After his 1976 release Blue Moves, his rock influences lessen and a more churchlike pop style emerges, as in the ballads like “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word” (1976), which typifies a staid declamatory aura in his mature ballads. When he experimented with other collaborators in the late 1970s and ’80s, his music lost some of its freshness and his popularity dropped a little, but despite the fact that he was one of the most popular mainstream entertainers of all time and infused it with a gaudily costumed flamboyance that evoked the Las Vegas piano legend Liberace in a way that was quite similar in style to his predecessors. The singer John was the first male pop star to declare his homosexuality in the 1990s, and his career was not seriously damaged as a result. The Lion King (1994) was one of the most successful films that he wrote songs for, and one of those songs, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” won an Academy Award for the best original song. The Lion King’s musical adaptation for Broadway resulted in a number of hits. As part of that same year, Taupin revised his 1972 song “Candle in the Wind” in tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, and it became the most successful pop single in history, selling more than 30 million copies worldwide, becoming the bestselling single of all time.
