When a small group of drunk, college-age friends are hanging out together and spontaneously start singing songs from "The Lion King". Happens surprisingly often. Researchers are still trying to determine why.
Person 1: "We were just chilling, drinking some beers, and then suddenly we were overcome by the Lion King Effect. Started singing that song from the beginning of the movie."

Person 2: "What, the one that's like 'aaaaaaaaaaaaah sakenyaaaaaaaa vadavishdi dama' or whatever?"

Person 1: "Yeah, that's the one."
