Another Song Born Of Trump's Pandemic, Destined To Become An Anthem

Roy Zimmerman joins forces with some fierce grannies for a perfect new version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" — Trump version. (Open Thread)
By Aliza Worthington

Try getting this one out of your head. The fine cast of mostly senior citizens (and three youngsters) perform this re-imagined, re-worked version of the classic, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," made just for our Trumpian COVID-19 dystopia. Thank you, Roy Zimmerman and The ReZisters, and the Raging Grannies of Mendocino. You give us life!

I laughed out loud the first time I heard it. Had to immediately hit replay to sing along with it the 2nd time. Made me so happy I posted it on FB and a friend from CA called and thanked me for the laugh and earworm.
