The Tokens turn the Weaver's "Wimoweh" into a doo wop hit.......2003-06-04

The song, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," was based on an South African Zulu folk song "Wimoweh" made popular by the classic folk group the Weavers in the 1950s. However, the Weavers were political in the best sense of the folk tradition and fell out of favor among the common folk who thought them Communist sympathizers of varying hues along the spectrum of the color red. However younger music listeners might remember Robert John's version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," which made it to #3 on the Pop charts in 1972 and was included on the soundtrack for "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."

The group, the Tokens, was a doo wop group out of Brooklyn, who originally included Neil Sedaka when they were known as the Linc-Tones (they were students at Lincoln High School). In the early 1960s the group was reformed by Hank Medress with Phil Margo, Mitch Margo, Joe Venneri, and Jay Siegel as the Tokens. In 1962 the Tokens recorded "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," which hit #1 on the Billboard Pop charts. It was far and away the biggest hit the Tokens ever had and this CD-Single basically includes the two songs that are arguably the best of the rest of their inventory. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "La Bamba" were both off of the Token's debut album, while "You're Nothing But a Girl" was from a later 1966 release, "The Tokens Again." However, if you like doo wop, then my suggestion would be to pick up one of the three pretty solid collections of Tokens hits (e.g., "Wimoweh: The Best of the Tokens"). But if this song leads you to track down some of the recordings of the Weavers, that would be a thing of great good as well.

Wow.......2002-03-25

I heard this song -the lion- for the first time 20 years ago ( I was 4 years old)... And it is still spinning in my head!!! Only Bamba comes nearby in quality!!! therefor I give'em 5 stars. My heart is pounding EVERYTIME Tokens are in the radio!

The Slug and Lettuce.......2000-03-08

This is song is played every Friday and Saturday night around 10:pm at the Slug and Lettuce, Fulham, London and it goes off once everyone has had a couple of pints. I've seen people re-enacting 'The Lions roar' from under tables, people climbing the poles, monkey style. It really does become a jungle!

The Lion Sleeps Tonight.......2000-02-11

The Tokens did an incredible job on this one! I love the music, and the voices are awesome. 38 years later and it still is one of the best songs I've heard.

The Guitar.......2006-07-30

Good EP, I like it, and for that seller that got the EP with Cabbagetown and Siftin', well u got the UK EP of The Guitar..very odd. Anywho, The first song is practacally same exact recording from Apollo 18, the second is a very good cool remix that has recordings from Apollo 11 landed on the moon. The third is "Welcome to the Jungle" which is a really neat song and catchy. The next is sort of an acoustic guitar song which is probebly the worst song on the EP, but still ok. And my favorite song on the EP "Moving to the Sun" it has a unique sound to it, i just like it. And the last song is the Guitar remix without John Flansburg and Laura Cantrell. Not huge fan of The Guitar, but a great EP.

So Many Versions..........2004-09-19

Hey there Mimi10514 - consider yourself lucky. Actually, consider yourself super lucky. You have the International (UK) release of this CD, which mirrors the US I PALINDROME I single, substituting The Guitar and The Guitar (Williamsburgh extended mix) - a remix only on the international CD - for IPI and Larger Than Life (She's Actual Size remix).

The US release is what is stated in this entry on Amazon.

As for the EP, The Guitar is a great retooling of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The CD was a promo for Apollo 18, but as most TMBG singles/EP's go it has one song from the album and a whole lot that isn't - this one does not fail to deliver.

Welcome To The Jungle (not the GNR song), I Blame You, and Moving to the Sun are all non-album songs that you will find match the TMBG style, especially for the era of Apollo 18. Remixes are huge to the Johns, and The Guitar receives two on this CD.

Overall I'd give this CD 4 stars. It's among their better promo CD's, but it's not exactly my favorite song from Apollo 18.

If you're into the remixes, try to hunt down that UK version, or even the 12" Vinyl Istanbul single with four remixes of the infamous song.

Hmmm... strange...........2003-09-13

First, let me start by saying that although I am reviewing "The Guitar" single (EP) by TMBG, the songs listed above are NOT the songs on the EP. I have tried repeatedly and extensively to locate some web page with info on why this would be, but... the best I can come up with is that I own a freak copy.

This EP has two versions of The Guitar - one just a longer version of the other (UK Single Edit & "Williamsburgh Extended Mix". The Guitar is a fun, head-bobbing, toe-tapping song, based on the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

There are two additional songs:

Cabbagetown - supposedly, this song is supposed to be exclusive to the 'I Palindrome I' EP from 1992, but I don't own it to confirm (if you do, please email me). I found this song to be somewhat depressing and it plods along steadily. 2:53
