Behind the Scenes
The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is a song that has been published under a number of different names. It was originally written and recorded by Soloman Linda in 1939 under the name of "Mbube" (African for 'Lion'). The song was sung in African. The two most famous English-language recordings were "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", as originally recorded by American group The Tokens in 1961 as well as being covered by Tight Fit, a British band in 1984 as "The Lion Sleps Tonight". The name for the 1961 version has become arguably the more dominant in English, if only because of the song's inclusion in The Lion King. Because the song was not credited in the end credits of Rise of the Cybermen, and dialogue only calls it "track number 90", it is difficult to know with precision what the name of the song is in the Doctor Who universe — or to know which of the many cover artists is singing the song, as heard in the episode. But I can tell for sure it is Tight Fit's vesion of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" as I am good at telling differences in music.
