I vote "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" ....The old commie Pete Seeger actually owned the rights to that song. He made a lot of money from it.

I read that the rights had been fraudulently lifted from it’s African author. Apparently he or his heirs also sued Disney for lifting the song for a movie. I hope the family took them all to the cleaners.
