    when i first heard this i was thinking ” the lion sleeps tonight song ” in the jungle cause it starts in the jungle…plus in the song the main chorus repeated sounds like it.. idk if it is but it has large similiarties to the song in a few ways.

      It is actually the AFRICAN version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” which is actually a very old traditional African hunting song.

      You know… this whole thing right here TOTALLY deserves a write up. LOL.
