Disney never dies, I'm twenty years old and I still cry when Mufasa dies. This is one of my favorite Disney songs. A true classic that should never be forgotten.
This song brings back a lot of memories. Still a good movie at my age. Still a good song too. My mom even remembers when she saw this in theaters a year before I was born, she remembers when Mufasa died, a little kid started crying. Disney movies like this shall never die!
+Myka Switzer once again that doesn't mean he wanted his dad to die, he was just a cub at the time and was still learning how monarchy works, and actually a king can step down from the throne, they don't always have to die
+AJ V ummm no, a king can step down from the throne of they want to, the king of Spain stepped down because he was getting to old and allowed his son to become the king, so they don't always have to die, and he was just a cub, he didn't fully understand the situation of how monarchy works, when his dad died he's was devastated so no
I was born in 1989 and was five years old when The Lion King came out. My parents bought me all the Disney soundtracks on cassette when I was a kid. My favorite was "Bare Necessities" from the Jungle Book. My mom had a 1990 Toyota Camry and my dad had 1993 Chevy Blazer when Lion King came out in 1994, and after taking me to see the movie they inevitably bought me the soundtrack tape. One time, it was just me and my mom in the '93 Blazer on a trip up to Connecticut to visit my Grandma in about 1994 or 1995. I was riding shotgun, and I can remember playing this song (I just can't wait to be King) over and over again during the drive (My poor mother!).
I feel like The Lion King sequels are the only Disney (DISNEY PICTURES, *NOT* PIXAR. I know Disney owns Pixar, I'm not stupid) sequels that are worth watching; idk it's my opinion.
Those are Pixar movies! :DD It's different ;) I did like Toy Story 2 & 3. However, Finding Dory and The Incredibles II are not released yet, so I can't tell c:
Disney owns pixar and finding nemo was release by disney so was the incredible but those sequels are worth watching for even if they are not even out yet
um are you trying to start an argument? I'm talking about sequels for the classic movies (Pocahontas II, Beauty and the Beast Christmas or whatever, Lady and the Tramp II, The Little Mermaid II, Cinderella II & III...) Of course I know Disney owns Pixar, I'm not stupid, c'mon...
Whenever I heard this song as a kid, I used to daydream about me being a superhero who gradually fights a villain through the course of the song, then I unleash my ultra move on him during the big ending and send him flying into the next dimension.
Me and a bunch of friends sang this during karaoke at one of my friend's high school graduation party. Even though I can't sing, but it was still a blast! Good memories :)
I'm doing this for my musical theatre class I'm best at kings don't advice from little hornbills for a start I love this song seen this movie heaps of times its amazing
guys, don't think this song means simba can't wait till his dad dies. it really means he's excited to be the king. in fact, he would grow to become the greatest lion king of all time. also, I'm not gonna say the lion king or frozen is the greatest disney film of all time. how about I name the greatest beauty and the beast, the hunchback of notre dame, or fantasia 2000 to stop all the arguing.
I was watching this the other day with my mum and my baby sister it brings back memories to badly and this was the first disney film i watched when i was a baby :)
Why is everyone so pessimistic in these comments? Has everyone seriously grown to look at the negative side of everything??I for one love this song and it does not mean Simba can't wait for his dad to die. He's excited to be king and have it his way.
Christian Nunez Nah,there are plenty more. Honestly I haven't seen this movie since I was really little....but from what I remember about it it's good.
I remember in elementary school, when we had to have music class every time we had a substitute he would always make us sing this song. I miss it to be honest. I'm a junior in high school and moved like 2x.
Moral of the song: Be careful what you wish for.
true
Zeruckiven Too soon.
Robyn Allen It's been 21 years
Same thing goes to the movie lady and the tramp
+Duchess Adelaide Bonfamilie true
This is 1000000+ times better than radio music. I'll never get tired of this song!
no shit it is :)
IKR
Scar got pissed that he'll never king and so for revenge, he with the help of the hyena's made 537 accounts just to dislike this.
To hell with those dislikers lol
Disney never dies, I'm twenty years old and I still cry when Mufasa dies. This is one of my favorite Disney songs. A true classic that should never be forgotten.
This movie is almost 20years old and I still know it word for word

Sorcerer Vaati64 ikr
I just can't wait to be QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! I use that instead all the time!!! XD
I did that too
I did that too
Samee!😊💅
I was obsessed with this song when I was little. I'm currently singing along in my room.
My friend was trying to describe this song and her description was, "that one song from the lion king about how no one likes the bird."
Yeah basically
Izzy Marie same
This is definitely one of the best disney classics, the songs never get old! ♥
and people still don't know Zazu is Mr. Bean lol
+HospitalmanMikey Wait what D:
haha I know that was my reaction too. Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) is the voice of Zazu!
*childhood explodes*
+HospitalmanMikey no wayyyyyyyy XD hahaha, oh dear
yep i did thank u deezer
"I'm gonna be the mane event" is, is that pun intended or?
Considering the leaf-mane he's wearing when he sings the line, I'm gonna say yes.
Amanda Smith Okay good because that's pretty funny
i might be wrong but i think its because he has a bright orange mane
pink gamer123 yea no shit that's why I asked if it was a pun or not...that is the pun, the orange mane...
+Natalie Molena well sorry I guess
This song brings back a lot of memories. Still a good movie at my age. Still a good song too. My mom even remembers when she saw this in theaters a year before I was born, she remembers when Mufasa died, a little kid started crying. Disney movies like this shall never die!
2:10 - 2:22
You know, I've never really knew what they were singing until now.
THANK YOUUUU.
I can't understand either
This was my childhood
I'm sorry that your childhood only lasted two minutes and fifty five seconds :(
+Alluring Manslave HAHAHA
i don't care what other people say i'm going to be listening and watching Disney FOREVER!
Picture Prince Charles prancing around Buckingham Palace in his underwear singing this song and try not to laugh. Go ahead, try.
oh my god, hahaha XD
XD

I failed :(
Eddie G how?
I'm transgender ftm and I play this song everyday around my parents
You are now the best person ever
vote hillary
I cant even vote yet
+Devvan Butler you suck if you vote for Hillary
+Patrick Robinsob yesssss thank youuu I hate her guts and I have not met her
All I'm hearing is "I can't wait for dad to die"
That's not what he is saying, he just can't wait to become ruler after his dad, he never wanted his dad to die...
+Alyssa Germon In order for him to become king his father has to die, that is how a monarchy works.
+Myka Switzer once again that doesn't mean he wanted his dad to die, he was just a cub at the time and was still learning how monarchy works, and actually a king can step down from the throne, they don't always have to die
+AJ V ummm no, a king can step down from the throne of they want to, the king of Spain stepped down because he was getting to old and allowed his son to become the king, so they don't always have to die, and he was just a cub, he didn't fully understand the situation of how monarchy works, when his dad died he's was devastated so no
Tell me about it. "I just can't wait till dad dies!"

Simba: greatest disney hero ever
Well lol
I would have to say mulan
Alyssa Germon That would be heroine at the best case. And I prefer Simba
Napa was the true hero. Think about it
"Im gonna be the mane event"

Ellen Standford Lol thanks xD!

Anna Jake me to
Whenever I heard this song as a kid, I used to daydream about me being a superhero who gradually fights a villain through the course of the song, then I unleash my ultra move on him during the big ending and send him flying into the next dimension.
Me and a bunch of friends sang this during karaoke at one of my friend's high school graduation party. Even though I can't sing, but it was still a blast! Good memories :)
I love Disney it never gets old

I'm best at kings don't advice from little hornbills for a start
I love this song seen this movie heaps of times its amazing
This is the song I have been listening to lately since I'm becoming a Senior! Class of 2018!
One of the good things about being King is getting everyone to sing along with you
Prince Charles in a nutshell
Thumbs up if you're not much of a Disney fan, but that you think "The Lion King" is one of their better projects!
dude im 15 i miss this disney needs to make more of these classics
2:08 when the choir kicks in it gets me hype every time.
I love how he says monarchy lol
this is the moment he realized...he was hit by nostalgia
This song just brings me back to when i was young playing the game on my snes...good times.
Awwwwwww! I love Simba, he makes me smile!!!!
he sounds like Michael Jackson when he was little
That's what I was thinking!
Taylor R.
+khori Well they both end up the king
The guy who played Simba played Michael jackson (young) in a movie
Johnathan Taylor Thomas voiced Simba as a cub. Jason Weaver played Michael Jackson as a child in the movie.
song never gets old
I used to love the lion king so much! Im 12 and I will sometimes watch it :)
My marching band is playing this in our show this year, can't wait!

Literately my favorite movie and song ever i love Simba and the lion king best movie ever thank you so much Disney
I somehow got a cup stuck on my face while watching this.
guys, don't think this song means simba can't wait till his dad dies. it really means he's excited to be the king. in fact, he would grow to become the greatest lion king of all time. also, I'm not gonna say the lion king or frozen is the greatest disney film of all time. how about I name the greatest beauty and the beast, the hunchback of notre dame, or fantasia 2000 to stop all the arguing.
My top 5 are the Lion King, Tarzan, Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Emperor's new Groove and the Little Mermaid
He's a kid, he hasn't thought over the ramifications, he's just excited to be in charge.
Tim Cosgrove amen!
1.Lion king, 2.Pocahontas, 3.Little mermaid, 4.Mulan 5.Petes Dragon 6.Tarzan 7.Jungle Book
Haha, love this~ Disney Classics will live forever!
Their voices are just so.... flawless, blew me away!

+Jason the Otaku Luffy. Get outta here!
Why is everyone so pessimistic in these comments? Has everyone seriously grown to look at the negative side of everything??I for one love this song and it does not mean Simba can't wait for his dad to die. He's excited to be king and have it his way.
+Christian Nunez I'm not. I'm just nerding out about Anime...like seriously the Sinja feels I'm getting from this are freaking amazing!
Raven Hopkins Glad to hear I'm not the only one! I have loved this movie since forever and I agree, it IS freaking amazing.
Christian Nunez
Nah,there are plenty more. Honestly I haven't seen this movie since I was really little....but from what I remember about it it's good.
Literally have not seen this movie in years and it got stuck in my head
One of the BEST disney songs EVER!
"Let every animal go for broke and sing."
Well that sums up Disney.
when just listening to the song, I like to close my eyes and imagine simba, nala, and all the herd animals standing up on twos and gettin' down..
The Lion King Is One Of The Best Film That I`ve Seen On My Life....
If people don't like this song then they don't no what a classic is.
Simba just made me drop my headphones
Young Simba= Young Michael Jackson
+Rian Roriz

Lion King holds particular sentiment to me, as it was the very first movie I ever saw in theaters.
