"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is a song originally written and first recorded in 1939 by Solomon Linda [2] under the title "Mbube", [3] through South African Gallo Record Company. In 1961, a version adapted into English by the doo-wop group the Tokens became a number-one hit in the United States.

Later in 1977 a plebiscite to choose the "national song" preferred "Advance Australia Fair".
To put it mildly, there is absolutely no sense discussing the origin of this phrase, which is entirely Germanic, a fact that no scholar of Yiddish or linguistics has ever questioned; in Middle High German the phrase "ou wê" (and variants of it) occurs frequently, and this phrase persists in many Modern German dialects as "au weh" or "o weh."
