The Lion Sleeps Tonight - The Tokens

Unless it was some kind of weird fever dream, I saw these guys live when I was a kid at the Staten Island mall in the early 80s.

In saltu, in fortem saltu, leo dormit hac nocte

tace, mel mea, ne time, mel mea, leo nocte hac dormit

(In Latin poetry, words that end in a vowel followed by an initial vowel or h elide, so nocte hac can be read as if it says noct'ac, making the line scan better. ;)

Being a fan of Voiceplay is definitely an interesting experience, because you can basically never predict their next cover/video and/or what it might be like (especially when you're not part of their Patreon!). You might get:

Something completely absurd/bonkers that has you dying of laughter

A warm hug in musical/acapella form

A shot of adrenaline right to the veins that has you bursting with energy

A really catchy song that gets stuck in your head for days (and you're not even mad about it)

One or more moments of "what on earth did I just hear?"/"what the heck did _____ just do?" that has you rewinding to hear it again

A cover that is quite different from the original yet still really amazing despite it (and potentially even because of it)

And you can often have multiple of these things in the same video!!!

#Most of these things apply to at least one of Voiceplay's 3 most recent uploads #Voiceplay Jingle Bell Rock #The Lion Sleeps Tonight #Sleeping In The Cold Below #Voiceplay #acapella #acaplaya ramblings

Make Roy Zimmerman’s Day: “Lock Him Away”

- Parodist spoofs “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and trolls orange insurrectionist

He whose name rhymes with Fondled Dump gets the Roy Zimmerman treatment with “Lock Him Away (The Liar Bleats Tonight).”

Released with an accompanying video that uses Dump’s own words against him, Zimmerman’s latest parody of “The Lion Sleep Tonight” features a cross-section of America joyously begging the authorities to lock him away as Zimmerman sings:

In the men’s room, the clubhouse men’s room, the liar bleats tonight/intimidates, self-incriminates and excretes conceits tonight … how many lives did he put at risk with each document he took/waving classified info around saying, ‘it’s top secret, look’

The song funny. But it’s so sad that it’s come to this.

Thinking about 3 years ago where I hopped in an empty VC and started playing The Lion Sleeps Tonight bass booted earrape while sitting in complete silence, even when others joined out of concern. This went on for an hour or so and it got so bad one of my friends’ sisters could hear it down stairs and it got stuck in their head

Voiceplay Visuals: The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Bit of a change of pace from some of the more recent Voiceplay videos I've been talking about, and a change of video style/format too!

Voiceplay's video for The Lion Sleeps Tonight was uploaded on the 20th of January, 2024 (VP's first full-length upload for this year), and features J None! (He's been doing a lot of stuff with Voiceplay recently, which makes me wonder if he could be back in the group full-time sooner than expected?). (Also fun fact, this is technically Voiceplay's second cover of The Lion Sleeps Tonight, or at least, for Geoff and Layne it is. The first cover of it was done in 2004, back when the group was still called 4:2:Five (and Geoff and Layne were only in their early/mid 20s), and features on their album "Time Machine"!)

Apparently this was just meant to be a Voiceplay Mini to start off with, but Layne (who did the arrangement) was having too much fun with it, and so it became Voiceplay's full-length cover for the month! Because it was originally planned to be a mini, it ended up being filmed like one, but there's still enough stuff going on in the video for me to make at least a short post about it, so let's go!

Although this was filmed in portrait mode, I'll still upload screenshots in landscape like so, just so they don't take up too much space/length. The portrait mode however also means that I have to "chop off" a bit of the top and bottom of the video because of the Youtube video UI and whatnot (video title, progress bar, etc)

The animals in the background were a brilliant addition, definitely a fun way to add a little bit of extra "Voiceplay flair" to the video!

Cesar being adorable as ever, meanwhile Geoff is Confused And Concerned(tm) 😂

Group shot! (Plus elephant in the background)

Giraffe!

Love the little dancing monkey down in front, very cute (and the monkeys in the background!)

(Cesar's necklace is also cool, although I'm not really sure what it is ^^; )

What are they looking up at? At Eli's high notes? 😝

Me when I watched this for the first time: "wait where'd Geoff go?"

"Oh wait, there he is!" 😁😆

Layne: *BOING*

J is dancing, and so is one of the gorillas in the background! Doing a Gangnam Style dance, it seems! 😄

J and Eli popping up and down in the background and being silly 😋 (also cool lion!)

J with the Crazy Eyes again!

Gosh I love these idiots 😂

And a surprise return of Violayne! (Starting 2024 the same way as 2023 in that regard, actually.) And he has a little chipmunk/squirrel on his head! (Also Layne and Eli both look so happy here and it's so nice <3 )

And now Geoff has a tiny little monkey on his head <3

Lol @ Cesar "falling asleep" on J's shoulder 😄

Omg Eli starts falling asleep too and Layne gives a little wave to the camera! I only just noticed!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the thumbnail of the YouTube premiere thing for this appear last month (or two months ago for you reading this), but this video is a nice reminder that Voiceplay don't alwasys need super complex arrangements or big sets or fancy costuming to make a great video. This video is just silly, wholesome fun, (what Voiceplay do best!), and I always can't help but have a massive smile on my face while watching it. And the vocals are phenomenal as well, of course, and Cesar my GOD those high notes!

I'm sure you've noticed I've been skipping over the Voiceplay "Biggies" (Minis that are longer than a minute, like Time Warp, Wellerman, and Peaches), but maybe I'll make posts for them at some point too? Or at least make combo posts for a few of them (i.e. talking about two videos in the one post). Idk, we'll see, but anyway, there's still more to come, so stay tuned!
