Interestingly, Margo and his fellow members of The Tokens did not think that “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” would be a popular song. In fact, Margo and the others weren’t fans of the song.

Funny that. Its a quite common phenomenon it seems. Don McClean doesn't like hearing "American Pie," James Taylor supposedly doesn't like "Fire and Rain," and its rumored that John Lennon disliked "Eight Days a Week" and "Yesterday."

I am no Beatles expert, but I think Yesterday was written by Paul McCartney, and none of the other Beatles performed in the recording. And shortly after that the Beatles stopped performing live.

Have heard similar things about that from Christopher Plummer in "The Sound of Music" (he called it the Sound of Mucus) and one of Led Zeppelin band members (don't remember which) not liking 'Stairway to Heaven.'
