The story goes something like this: "A judge lived a life of ease in a fine town. He always ate well and collected generous donations, but did not fulfill his duties. Instead of catching brigands on the highways, he arrested and prosecuted the destitute. One day while he was dining with his companions, he heard a fight break out. He ordered his men to arm themselves and to intervene, and he threw himself into the fray. A gang of devils seized him and carried him to the outskirts of town, where they held him over a boiling, black pit. The Virgin appeared and ordered the devils to release the judge. She came to his aid because he had always placed his hope in her, although he did very little justice. The Virgin advised him to confess his sins, perform penance, and prepare for death. She told him that he only had one more day to live. The judge confessed his sins and received absolution. He died the next day and angels carried his soul away. =========== About "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (from Wikipedia): "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", also known as "Wimoweh" and originally as "Mbube", is a song originally recorded by Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds for the South African Gallo Record Company in 1939. It has been covered internationally by many pop and folk revival artists since the early 1950s, including The Weavers, Jimmy Dorsey, Yma Sumac, Miriam Makeba, and The Kingston Trio, and a wide variety of others. In 1961, it became a number one hit in the U.S. as adapted by the doo-wop group The Tokens. It went on to earn at least 15 million US dollars in royalties from covers and film licensing. Then, in the mid-nineties, it became a pop "supernova" (in the words of South African writer Rian Malan) when Warner Bros. promoted Ace Ventura franchises and licensed to Walt Disney for use in the film The Lion King, its spin-off TV series and live musical, prompting a lawsuit on behalf of the impoverished descendants of Solomon Linda. The original title of the song ("mbube", based on the a capella background chant of the song) has lent its name to a style of African a cappella music that has evolved into "isicathamiya" (also called "mbube"), popularized by the group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The Weavers recorded an adapted version entitled "Wimoweh", a mishearing of the original song's chorus of "Uyimbube", (translated from Zulu: "You are a lion"). Their version, which contained the chanting chorus "Wimoweh" and Solomon Linda's original line, "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight", reached Billboard's top ten and became a staple of The Weavers' live repertoire. In 1961 George David Weiss added additional new English lyrics for the teenage doo-wop group The Tolkens. This is now the version commonly heard today, with the lyrics: In the jungle, the mighty jungle The lion sleeps tonight Near the village, the quiet village The lion sleeps tonight... Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling, The lion sleeps tonight
