4. “Hakuna Matata” from The Lion King
The Lion King is another movie that had multiple songs in contention. But being a person who literally wore tie-dyed Lion King shirts with a fanny pack and Walkman playing the Lion King soundtrack back in the day, this was always the song I looked forward to the most. It’s funny, crucial to the story, and the way it spans multiple time periods is just so smart. (Music and lyrics by Elton John and Tim Rice, performed by Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver, and Joseph Williams)
