That's a great insight into the "authenticity" of the folk boom: the most famous Zulu word on the planet was invented by a New York socialist in 1951:

I love these “the story behind the song” pieces, and this one may be the most interesting one I’ve read.

I don’t remember the song being used in the Lion King, but it’s possible I never did see that movie.

A bit disappointed in Seeger, he is my fave commie, but there you go, he’s a commie!

Is it a take on “Run Johnny Run”?
