I had such a bad day today. My neighbor passed away from a heart attack. Requiescat in pace (May he rest in peace.) My charge card was compromised and three heavy charges were fraudulently put on my credit card, which fortunately the credit was dropped. But it shocked me to see it at first. Then I listened to this group sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and it just brightened my day. Bravissimo to Straight No Chaser. What a great job. And they seemed to be having such fun performing this song..
These guys are my favorite a-cap group of all time. They look like they're having so much fun and that joy for life is definitely contagious. I need more of this stuff...just hook it to my veins!
Saw these guys in person at 3 separate concerts, and each time they were great! Great singers, "intrumentalists", dancers, and comedians! Wonderful entertainers loaded with talent. A must see!
Absolutely love this version. What better way to enjoy the old music then to find a way to do it to bring back memories while making your audience laugh. Watching in July 2020 during the Coronavirus pandemic. Just what I needed.
This is the first time I have seen this video. I have been finding lots of videos I never saw before and they are songs I have not seen them do in concert either. Thank God for You Tube!!!!
I've started calling this up every morning to start my day. It puts a smile on my face and reminds me that hard times can't destroy beauty or laughter.
Excellent harmonies and comedy! Absolutely great A- cappella music ! I've never heard 'Straight No Chaser' but I'll look for them now. In Christ Jesus, Michael
It's been a long time since I got chills from listening to someone sing but when he started I got chills all over. They are crazy and having so much fun.
Yeah I know what you mean alright. I got chills with the Carlton dance at the end it was so right on. Lol! That song never gets old and with this twist it got a makeover too!
I agree with you so much, I'm a 63 yr old fat straight guy and these guys gave me goosebumps. It's inspirational and intergenerational and probably even international. It was amazing...
This is a beautiful song We seems like to forget but to listen again it bring those times back in our minds So nice memories good times then. No covid free times
An all-time dynamic performance, brilliant choreography every instant, humour and singing and dance talent showcased forever - Increases optimism and energy levels.Therapeutic music beyond belief. This is thoroughly enjoyable incredible talent.
6:30 in the morning, having my 2nd cup of coffee, and I run across this video.....just AWESOME! One of my favorite songs and this brought on a mountain of smiles and laughs. Thank you for bringing such good vibes to me this morning!
1960 Those were such good days, must be what we will experience in heaven, hearing all our fav groups anytime. 'Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end; we thought they'd last forever and a day.'
I'm not old enough to have grown and enjoyed the 50s and 60s. But I used to work with my dad and that's all he listened to. I come to enjoy that era of music. I caught that feeling that you are trying to express
Harmony at it's BEST!! Music got me through NAVY! Love and loss! There were not many TV's on a ship! Make the best of what you have! Appreciate! P.S. listen love your family and friends, people! One day you will see that! This is pure music!
One of the best stage performance i have ever seen in my life.! So relaxing. kind of a emotional roller-coaster! and the humor is outstanding! and yes I am listening it in 2017 !!! Love you guys.. :D
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was originally written and recorded by Solomon Linda in 1939. And the songs original title was "Mbube". Recorded under the South African, Gallo Record Company. Linda's original was written in Zulu, while the English version's lyrics were written by George David Weiss.
It is wonderful, hearing these men sing and bounce around, all in "k"! So fun and beautiful, continues to give me goosebumps. This is such fun to send to friends for a real treat!
I attended an "Oldie but Goodie" concert in the early 90's and saw the Tokens perform The Lion Sleeps Tonight. I enjoyed it very much. They sounded just as good as I remembered when hearing it as a kid sometime during the 60's. But I enjoy this one even more! Great job guys! So glad I found this!
Love it! The lead has a very nice and pure tenor and falsetto voice. Choreography was fun too!! Side note: This song has special meaning to me. My sister and I are both Leos. She loved this song. When the Lion King came out, it was a joy to learn this song was included in the sound track. After my sister passed away, whenever I would hear this song, it would bring tears to my eyes. It was fun to hear the song done with such fun and passion for acapella (another favorite of mine). Thank you gentlemen of No Chaser.
I gotta say that every year since I discovered their "12 days of Christmas" version, I listen to it like every day during Christmas season, and I keep looking for more videos. But mostly only around Christmas. So weird.
2010: This takes me back to my younger days. We used to play this on the jukebox all the time. Good memories of sock hops and drive-in movies. Kids these days don't know what they're missing. Real music, not like all that noise they listen to. 2024: This slaps, low-key a vibe. Still a banger after all these years. Ngl, the lion still snoozin' tho. Deadass iconic. 2074: Mega throwback vibe, this vid slaps. Holo-proj of gramps jamming to this back in the day - cray-cray. Defs pre-metaverse, but the rhythm still bops. Low-key makes me wanna neural-link and learn this ancient groove. Straight fire, no cap.
This is my brother's favourite song. I haven't seen him nor spoke to him in over 20 years. Brett if you see this I love you and miss you very much. 🇨🇦🕊🌷🥀🌹🥀🥀
I wd rather listen 2the original Azanian cultural version (without the un- necessary buffoonery), that was stolen by a caucasian group in the 1950's-60's? &4which the originators NEVER benefit- ted from the $$$ millions the white group reaped from the song. Thus they did what the caucasian is infamous 4, being the cleptomaniac his-[own]- story reveals him 2be: he ripped them off of their hard-earned &well de- served financial rewards. What a pitiful shame!!! Therefore, it's imperative that we: "Tell The Truth & Shame the [lying, fork-tong -ued serpent/d-v-l". 'Nuff sed!
A timeless classic loved by many but for people who have lived in Africa it can easily make one well up. Love you Africa, always will.
A capela el canta,canta si ton no son ❤
I have always loved that song. I am 71 and like me, it’s a classic…..timeless.
how are you doing sir??
We are classic alright! Lol. Love that song. Reminds me of my youth.
I’m 73... still love it 😍
I am 78 and joined the Navy in 1961 and that was one of the top songs at that time. Loved it then and still do!!
I am 68, look 50. Love the good music. Not bragging..just facts.
Always a favorite. I'm 71 and still love it.
You know, first time, fabulous
I love the way the Weavers sang this son back in the early '50's. Right up there with you. I'm 71 also.
I had such a bad day today. My neighbor passed away from a heart attack. Requiescat in pace (May he rest in peace.)

Same here. The ones on Zoom are amazing, too. (I'm assuming that's Zoom.)
And me.
Come on back for another dance break!
Love the tenor and the bass.. These guys are good-way crazy!! Thanks for posting this. It's fun.

A lot of talent on that stage. Loved the performance.

Geez guys, why are you here, of all places, on a music vid, insulting each other?? I just want to say the guy singing falsetto is adorable.
They are not Bangtan Sonyeondan!
One of my favorites before i when country in 1963 i was 13 when this came out
This was just fun,smiled from the very beginning and couldn't stop until the last hillarious note. Thank you guys for a fun ride.
Fun to watch. Thank you, gentlemen, for this delightful version of this song. I can see you were all having fun ❤😊❤

Best thing I've seen since Covid. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face the whole time. Love it. Thank you ❤️
We are all sick of COVID and need some good energy in our lives.
Hello Pamela 👋, how are you doing!
My very 1st fav song, I was 11yrs old, now 71. I found a lion head at Walgreen's a few years ago that sings a little bit of song. Good memories!
❤️❤️❤️
I got the goose bumps. Love the music.
It’s fun watching them having fun.
I like how when they're singing about the PEACEFUL village, they start to go faster
you go guys, I like the groove! :))
I hate how the fucking audience keeps clapping a cheering in the middle of the fucking song
Ohhhhh Mannnn was this ever great --- Bravo to a wonderful bunch of very talented guys singing my childhood favorite song !!!!
It is wonderful, hearing these men sing and bounce around, all in "k"! So fun and beautiful, continues to give me goosebumps. This is such fun to send to friends for a real treat!
If you ever get the opportunity to see these guys live, GO! This video does not do them justice. They're excellent and so fun.

I've seen them in concert. Outstanding! One of my fav parts though was where they redo 80s and 90s medleys 😂 but this one was also awesome 👍
Great group performance and that lead singers voice was so nice to listen to wow. Lion King a classic. Peace and Love from Sweden
Our 4 member wine group has been going to SNC concerts every year since 2014. We already have our tickets for their Dec 2, 2024 show. 🎉
Great group of great singers. So much fun to watch.
What a fun and uplifting performance !!! I loved it !!!
I'm in my late 70s and remember this song which I loved. I love their version, esp some of the 'wrong' (?) moves...ha ha
Loved this. They sound great and left me grinning. I will have to check out their other music.
Well 13 years after this was posted I finally saw it. Love you guys! Song is always awesome but you also brought in some fun. Thank you
