What song do Timon and Pumbaa sing?

Timon and Pumbaa sing “Hakuna Matata.”

The song appears after Simba's exile, when Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog take him in and teach him their carefree philosophy. Its Swahili title is commonly translated as “no worries,” and the musical sequence follows Simba as he grows from a cub into an adult.

Elton John composed the music and Tim Rice wrote the lyrics. In the 1994 film, Timon is voiced by Nathan Lane and Pumbaa by Ernie Sabella; Simba also joins the number, with Jason Weaver and Joseph Williams providing Simba's singing voice at different ages.

The song replaced an earlier number called “Warthog Rhapsody.” It is sometimes confused with “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” which Timon and Pumbaa briefly open and close, but “Hakuna Matata” is their signature song.
