In the original soundtrack version of the song, Timon and Pumbaa's sobbing at the end is prolonged, eventually cutting to them snoring, implying that they cried themselves to sleep.Part of that demo appeared in a behind-the-scenes teaser trailer for the film on the 1994 VHS release of The Fox and the Hound, which viewers will not find anywhere else except in the storyboard. Another demo was recorded by Joseph Williams and Sally Dworsky as Simba and Nala, but it was also scrapped as it didn't connect with the African-themed music for the film. One demo was sung just by Timon and Pumbaa, but Elton John disliked the comical nature of the concept part of it is used for the final film. Several demos of the song were recorded during the film's production.It was only through the insistence of Elton John that the song was included in the movie.This song was the first song Elton John wrote for the film.Throughout the song in the film itself during the verses where an offscreen singer is heard, background Zulu vocals can be heard saying, "Lalela thuli" (Listen to this quiet person) and "Lalela lelando we" (Hey, listen to this history).Plus, it wouldn't make sense to waste such a grand number on secondary characters. The song originally was storyboarded to be sung by Timon and Pumbaa in a comical fashion, but was changed at the insistence of Elton John to be the film's "Prince and Princess" moment.The ones that eventually made the cut were: " When You Wish Upon a Star" (#7), " Someday My Prince Will Come" (#19), " Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (#36), Wind Beneath My Wings" (#44), " Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" (#47), " Beauty and the Beast" (#62), and " Hakuna Matata" (#99).
