![]() Since then, there have been many, many covers of 'Lion', and some more of 'Wimoweh', too. Karl Denver did a version or 5 of 'Wimoweh' at various stages. The song went down a storm and hit No.1 for 3 weeks. Not having any copyright and embarrased by the falsetto voice bit, they didn't release the song, until their record label convinced them too. The Tokens liked the tune and penned the familiar 'Lion' lyrics, and recorded the song in the very early 60's. The Weavers did a cover in the late 1950's. The song 'wimoweh' is based quite strongly on 'Mbube'.
