** "Be Prepared" averts this trope mostly: Jeremy Irons sang as Scar for 2/3 of the for before blowing out his voice on the “you won’t get a sniff without me” line, which resulted in Jim Cummings filling in on the last verse. Creator/WhoopiGoldberg, [[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheech Marin]], and Creator/JimCummings all maintain their speaking roles in the song.

Rice and John ultimately wrote five songs: "Circle of Life", "I Just Can't Wait to be King", "Be Prepared", "Hakuna Matata", and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". In addition to the film versions of the songs, John would also record his own versions of "Circle of Life", "I Just Can't Wait to be King", and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" for the album.

Meanwhile, composer Music/HansZimmer worked on the orchestration for the film, taking heavy cues from African music. He would enlist the assistance of South African composer Lebohang Morake, also known as Lebo M. Four pieces of the orchestral score would be included in the soundtrack album: "This Land", "...To Die For", "Under the Stars", and "King of Pride Rock".

The soundtrack, like the film it came from, was an enormous success. It went ten-times Platinum in the United States, and would become one of the first albums to be certified Diamond by the RIAA when it was instituted in 1999.[[note]]It's currently the only Disney soundtrack to earn Diamond certification.[[/note]] It would be in the Top 10 of the year-end Billboard 200 album chart in 1994 (#4) ''and'' 1995 (#10), and would finish at #21 on the decade-end ''Billboard'' 200 album chart for TheNineties.

John's versions of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Circle of Life" would both see considerable airplay, and both would be hits on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and the UK pop chart.
