Best The Lion King Franchise Songs

I love Be Prepared! Everyone knows that Disney villains have the best songs, and Scar is one of my favorite Disney villains. He has an incredible singing voice.

Be Prepared is so beautiful and haunting. It lets you know exactly who the villain of the movie is. Truly a wonderful villain song.

I know that your powers of retention are as wet as a warthog's backside, but thick as you are, pay attention. My words are a... so be prepared for a chance of a lifetime, be prepared for... But you will be rewarded when at last I am given my dues, and in justice...

This song should be number one! The opening scene in the movie touched my heart so much that my sister and I started tearing up a little.

The key changes in the song get me every time. This movie is the best Disney movie ever made.

This song should be number one! In this song, they talk about all our animals and that we need to respect all living creatures, great and small!

Condensing everything so complex into something so simple.

I absolutely LOVE The Lion King and all of its songs, but this song is definitely my favorite. It's SO CUTE!

This song is the best love song ever. Very heartfelt and has a good tune to it!

I love this song. It is the type of song that warms your heart.

My favorite always stuck in my head because it's the best. I also like Can You Feel the Love Tonight.

I love this song so much! I watched The Lion King so many times growing up. I've always found this song so amazing!

I love this song. What the devil is it doing here instead of on top?

Definitely the best Lion King song. The lyrics, the tune, and the fact that it is so happy.

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze!

Hakuna Matata is the best song ever sung by Pumbaa and Timon!

This song is absolutely gorgeous. It is in The Lion King (the musical), and Rafiki sings it to Simba about how Mufasa still lives in Simba. It gives me goosebumps every single time I listen to it.

A very cool fact is that I am in The Lion King Jr. right now, and I am playing Rafiki. I cannot wait to sing this and Circle of Life. More people need to know this song!

I love this song and Be Prepared, but Be Prepared is, in my opinion, harder to make sound good. Only the best voices can pull it off, and I've heard versions that just didn't cut it.

This song is more consistently good and overall my favorite.

I know this was in the musical, but I add it because it was originally meant for the movie. Also, the animation tribute for it is absolutely perfect. Definitely should watch it.

I saw the animation tribute. It was very good.

I wonder who animated it. It was good.

The best song! Zazu kills it on the vocals, plus he actually reports the morning.

I am kind of obsessed with this song.

If you didn't know, To Die For is the song that comes in during the stampede scene. This should be in the top ten! It's so powerful, and it pulls you by your heartstrings.

No lyrics... I think...

But good song.

This should truly be higher on the list. I'm completely obsessed with it. I'm playing Nala in my school's production of The Lion King, so I have the honor of being able to sing it.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I'll be able to get through it without bawling my eyes out. It's a beautiful, emotional, and moving masterpiece.

Most emotional and heart-catching of all the songs. Seeing this performed live is a whole journey, and this song always makes me cry.

It is the start of the climax and just utterly beautiful. I feel this one in my soul.

This should be in the top 5! I always get chills during the part when Simba climbs the rock!

I love this song! Both Kion and Jasiri have beautiful singing voices, and the song is so catchy! It plays in my head over and over again.

How are there not more Lion Guard songs on this list?! It's such a good show! My favorite Lion Guard song is A New Way to Go, but Sisi Ni Sawa is my second favorite. No competition.

I love this song! If you think about it, it applies to real life! Whether we are Black or White, we are the same.

If someone tells you that you will never be good enough because of your skin tone, tell them sisi ni sawa.

I've spent endless nights listening to this song.

Yet another song from the musical, but it definitely deserves more recognition!

I love The Lion Guard! I hope they make a season 4 one day. I wish Kion and Fuli ended up together, though. I ship them.

The guitar solo at the end was amazing, and so was the harmony.
