I was a member of this choir... I was the one of the smallest there and I still remember, I was just enjoying it as though we are just playing with my friends
This is one of the happiest songs ever - and all the different jungle sounds are amazing and I so appreciate how much the different parts were explained - the base, the tenor, the alto and soprano but I also love the falsetto - truly a joy to listen to and I think a true masterpiece !!!
Commenting from Nairobi, Kenya.. Grew up in the early 2000s, we did not have a lot of radio options. KBC is kinda like our BBC and they used to play this song first thing at 5am. My mum used to taunt me, just turn the radio and play it. The version we had contained extra lyrics (the lion never sleeps). My mum passed on when I was 11, been looking for this song all my life and finally found it today!!!!
I was a member of this choir, not anymore though, singing this song was such a miracle, even hearing our conductor say that we're now gonna sing it was so joyful.
It's cute but not the best I've ever heard. One thing that has always bothered me is that Lions do NOT live in the jungle so any version celebrating that part of the lyrics (written well after the original song) just sounds silly to me.
The opening of this beautiful performance is the closest thing we’ve got to a real jungle. Closer than the sound from any zoo. Just a talented blend of souls bringing a beautiful song to life.✨
When I was a little girl I used to drive my mother crazy making all those same jungle sounds with my mouth. It kept my brother and sisters highly entertained. Especially when our mothrr started chasing me around the house.
Incredible! This is a stunner. I can even imagine the initial practicing - all the fun these boys must have had when each had a go to their animal sounds. I really enjoyed listening to this. Very creative. ♫
Listened the original one? Sorry, but I love love love the original still better. Bur it was the 1960's the record came out and it caught me, hook, line and sinker, and is still the one to give me goosebumps and shivers every time I hear it, no matter who are performing it.
European nations learn English (ESL) all throughout their school years. Especially in larger cities. And I would say most of these kids have had English training. Also, like others mentioned when I was in choir, we had to sing in Latin, French, German, & Spanish even though we'd never been trained in the those languages. With the gift of singing comes the gift to memorize the words and sounds in the lyrics. I can't recall any one of us having any difficulty memorizing the lyrics in Latin or other languages. We all embraced it enthusiastically. It's part of the giftedness of singing.
First time hearing this version...i thoroughly enjoying it..listening to it for the fourth time...love the jungle sounds ...beautiful to hear...this song will never get old.
I've listened to this song ever since I was a little kid. I never thought I would ever get emotional and cry hearing this song but this version just made me bawl my eyes out. This choir is simply the best !
I am a librarian at a school in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. I never get tired of showing and hearing this performance to my children in Preschool. It is so beautiful. Congratulations Mr. Weiss to you and the boys.
*_Sadly, I took ill in San Pedro Sula some years ago, ending my career in teaching. I have fond memories of my students in a very poor and most violent city._*
I am so thoroughly impressed with this magnificent choir! Their performance was just awe-inspiring and make me love this song even more than before. Well done to such a talented group of singers!
I remember the first time I heard this song when The Token recorded it in 1961. I loved it then and love it still. This was a great rendition by this awesome choir.
Tami Collins I hope you find other versions they did a decent job - great on the sound effects but this def has been done better - they kinda sucked the soul out of it - possibly bcz they're a younger men's group, learning about technical vocal skills - rather than a seasoned group, who understands when to drop certain formal language in singing they'll continue to do better, if they keep practicing best I ever heard was Ladysmith Black Mambazo live - but their version is closer to the original, and doesn't have any words - you can feel everything in their voices - the English words kinda change the tone of its original meaning
Can't stop crying watching these kids making a savage wiildhome on stage.. It's awesome, that profesor has all the power and a over all their voices a d discipline, well talented boys. God bless you all
Although I am almost turning 75 y/o, I never saw or hear anything like this. I would give some years of my life to have belonged to something so beautiful, so celestial... God bless these boys and their director/conductor.
Marvellous! I grew up in Africa and this song accompanied my youth. No one could sleep during our dawn choruses, and a walk through the bush late afternoon was often very noisy too especially if you were in forest areas.
A wonderful presentation of this song ! Thank you to the Boys Choir Dagilelis, their conductor, and to Lithuania.Vielen Tausend Dank an Euch alle !!!☺😇
I would like to express my gratude, first to the God and, the amazing musical director, and musicians and singer to have giving us this lovely music of comfort, hope, hope and rest. May I encourage the young people you are creating mericle of hope, peace. Keep singing and heal our world.
I just watched about 15 versions of the same song, but i still like this version, this choir the best. I tried to sing along, but my dog got frightened. The kid does a much better version of hyena, and the elephant sound didnt do anything for her either.
Its good....its really good it brings tears ...my papa used to sing this song for me... This choir made me feel like my papa is standing there beside them... Thanks..im really greatfull
Wow!!🤗🎶🤗🎶...I am mesmerized!!...This is a classic performance of this wonderful choir...oh my gosh, so amazing and so uplifting...Thank You for your beautiful talents🙏...lots of love from Ohio 🎶❤💜🧡💛💚💙👬🎶...
The most amazing thing was that everyone was dead serious while making all the funny jungle sounds.
Discipline breeds success.
Yes that’s what I admired too.

The elephant voice was incredible !!! 😀
birds warbling, apes groaning, insects singing...they made a perfect jungle.
Don’t forget the Always-annoying hyena sounds! Truly amazing! 🤗
Must be a lot like Congress.
Yeap....precisely
Their sounds were fantastic.
Snake?
Very unique! I love the jungle atmosphere they created with just their voices!
also try listening to The Circle of Life by the Philippine Madrigal Singers.. they brought the african savana to the stage with their voices
This is hands down the best version of this song I’ve heard

Given that these are not native English speakers, the performance is that much more impressive.
English is the international language of the world .
Where are they from ?
We are from Lithuania

It would be nice for our language to be sung and not some made up word… no plagiarized version of a song can be the best version.

Handsome guys all dressed up and super talented..... what’s not to love!!!! And those jungle noises are the crowning touch!
I was imagining how terrifying would it be in a jungle when suddenly these kids started to surround you while hiding and making those animal sounds
I remember the first time I heard this song when The Token recorded it in 1961. I loved it then and love it still. This was a great rendition by this awesome choir.
This is certainly an amazing and touching performance. Would anybody believe me If I say that I have watched this more than a hundred times. Bravo
Well put together young men! There is just something very special/great, it’s healing and a blessing being in a choir.
Blessing? Again with the religious bullshit. Fuck off.
That was a awesome performance!

I hope you find other versions
they did a decent job - great on the sound effects
but this def has been done better - they kinda sucked the soul out of it - possibly bcz they're a younger men's group, learning about technical vocal skills - rather than a seasoned group, who understands when to drop certain formal language in singing
they'll continue to do better, if they keep practicing
best I ever heard was Ladysmith Black Mambazo live - but their version is closer to the original, and doesn't have any words - you can feel everything in their voices - the English words kinda change the tone of its original meaning
