A lion king Christmas *CD*

[Simbaspirit]

um, well i personally dont think matthew is the best singer, but o well.

[HasiraKali]

I don't think he is either. Cam Clarke is better imo. Of course Broadway Simba's are way better.

[HasiraKali]

My CD just got here. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but I'll give thoughts or whatever once I have

[nathalie]

*is jealous now* hehe

Let me know what you think of it

[HasiraKali]

Ok. I've listened to 4 tracks and must say that I am in love. All of the songs I've heard so far are traditional Christmas Carols but they've made them new with new orchestrations. The familiar melodies are there but they've added another sound layer with African instruments and drums. It's really cool. There is also some chanting in a few of the songs which just makes them cooler. I've always had a strong addiction to the music of TLK so this style is just awesome to me. Seriously it's really good. My favourite so far is O Come, O Come, Emmanuel sung by the Gazelle Tour. It's beautiful.

[DarkLion]

Stupid question, but is it in english?

FYI, here's another link to the CD

Most of it is in English. There are a few songs that are in German but they were originally in German in the first place.

[nathalie]

Sounds cool

I found someone who is willing to buy it for me and send it to me *yay*

Aww. Sorry the CD didn't work out.
But here's Matthew Broderick singing from the Producers.

We Can Do It

[nathalie]

Thanks again

I must say, Matthew does a pretty good job

But I think I'm glad, they picked someone else to sing his parts for TLK.
The singing voices in the movie, look more like his speaking voice.
Matthew's singing voice sounds different.

[This Land]

That song is really cool, thanks for sharing it with us HasiraKali,

Its weird, all i can just think when i hear that song is timon and not the character he is meant to be in that song/film. I must also agree with Nath that when mattew starts to sing it sound nothing like his normal voice , oh well, great to hear anyway

[nathalie]

Hehe, same here This Land, if I hear Nathan's voice, I immediate think of Timon too.

[HasiraKali]

Have any of you heard The Frogs? Oh or the Guys and Dolls revival. It has Timon AND Pumbaa in it. So does Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum for that matter. The Frogs has Roger Bart in it too so it's like Hercules/Scamp and Timon. It's an instant crossover! And on an unrelated note, whenever I hear Tim Curry sing... I picture Frankenfurter.

[This Land]

Ive also only just figured out that Nathan Lane Was actaully the Main character in the film Mouse Hunt

[HasiraKali]

Yeah. Ernie Sabella's in that too. He's the guy that sells them the cat.

[HasiraKali]

Hey, I'm bumping a pretty old thread. Well I know some of y'all were looking for this CD from a site that will ship internationally. Well I am pleased to announce that Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is offering this CD this season in their Catalog of Giving. This is not only an excellent organization but they'll ship anything overseas. The CD is $20 which is less that what I paid for it.
Here's a link to the CD's listing http://broadwaycares.stores.yahoo.net/likich.html They're reliable, I've ordered lots of Carols for a Cure CDs through them. And it's a great cause.

[Kalahari]

So just where did Simba, Nala and everybody learn these Christmans carols? I know it's just a cash cow CD by Di$ney but it still makes a person wonder. Timon maybe since he seems to have some knowledge of human things.

"Do they Know It's Christmas" by the 80's Band Aid people might work since it's lyrics do protain to Africa. The songs that are on there don't seem to bad since there aren't all Santa Clausey. Then they may as well put a cover of "Christmas in Hollis Queens".

Maybe they mean the cast of TLKoB?

[HasiraKali]

It isn't a cash cow CD and it's not put out by Disney. It's the cast of the TLK productions singing Christmas Carols. It was recorded for nonprofit organizations to raise money for AIDS research and awareness. Hence the fact that "Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS" is offering it. Most of the proceeds go to the charity. No one is making money.

So this is the cast of TLKoB and not Disney's animated TLK.
