"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was a 1939 African pop hit that, unexpectedly, also became quite popular in the US.

In 1952, the song was covered as an instrumental by American folk group The Weavers as "Wimoweh", a mishearing of the chorus of 'uyimbube' (meaning "he is a lion"), and again in 1959 by The Kingston Trio. For The Tokens' 1961 cover, a new set of lyrics, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", was written by George Weiss, Luigi Creatore, and Hugo Peretti, based upon the meaning of the original song. The Tokens' version rose to number one on the Billboard charts and still receives fairly frequent replay on many American oldies radio stations. Since then, "Wimoweh"/"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" has remained popular and frequently covered in the US.

In July 2004 the song became the subject of a lawsuit between the family of its writer Solomon Linda and Disney. The suit claims that Disney owes $1.6 million in royalties for its use in the film The Lion King.

Operator widowed

When you date an elite alpha male and being with him makes every other man look weak in comparison. Often occurs after a woman date someone in military special forces. She no longer considers mating men of lesser occupations. She has experienced ultimate perfection and won’t settle for anything less now.
“I am operator widowed after my scandalous night with Sam. I am RUINED for everyday life. Those other guys trying to take me out are no longer cute to me.”
Gods among men, women fall at their feet, especially when preceded by a Matt
-"You see that guy?"
--"Ya why's he got so many girls following him?"
-"he's a Wittwer, nuff said."
