These guys are my favorite a-cap group of all time. They look like they're having so much fun and that joy for life is definitely contagious. I need more of this stuff...just hook it to my veins!
Absolutely love this version. What better way to enjoy the old music then to find a way to do it to bring back memories while making your audience laugh. Watching in July 2020 during the Coronavirus pandemic. Just what I needed.
Saw these guys in person at 3 separate concerts, and each time they were great! Great singers, "intrumentalists", dancers, and comedians! Wonderful entertainers loaded with talent. A must see!
1960 Those were such good days, must be what we will experience in heaven, hearing all our fav groups anytime. 'Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end; we thought they'd last forever and a day.'
I'm not old enough to have grown and enjoyed the 50s and 60s. But I used to work with my dad and that's all he listened to. I come to enjoy that era of music. I caught that feeling that you are trying to express
It's been a long time since I got chills from listening to someone sing but when he started I got chills all over. They are crazy and having so much fun.
Yeah I know what you mean alright. I got chills with the Carlton dance at the end it was so right on. Lol! That song never gets old and with this twist it got a makeover too!
I agree with you so much, I'm a 63 yr old fat straight guy and these guys gave me goosebumps. It's inspirational and intergenerational and probably even international. It was amazing...
This is a beautiful song We seems like to forget but to listen again it bring those times back in our minds So nice memories good times then. No covid free times
This is the first time I have seen this video. I have been finding lots of videos I never saw before and they are songs I have not seen them do in concert either. Thank God for You Tube!!!!
I've started calling this up every morning to start my day. It puts a smile on my face and reminds me that hard times can't destroy beauty or laughter.
Excellent harmonies and comedy! Absolutely great A- cappella music ! I've never heard 'Straight No Chaser' but I'll look for them now. In Christ Jesus, Michael
An all-time dynamic performance, brilliant choreography every instant, humour and singing and dance talent showcased forever - Increases optimism and energy levels.Therapeutic music beyond belief. This is thoroughly enjoyable incredible talent.
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was originally written and recorded by Solomon Linda in 1939. And the songs original title was "Mbube". Recorded under the South African, Gallo Record Company. Linda's original was written in Zulu, while the English version's lyrics were written by George David Weiss.
Harmony at it's BEST!! Music got me through NAVY! Love and loss! There were not many TV's on a ship! Make the best of what you have! Appreciate! P.S. listen love your family and friends, people! One day you will see that! This is pure music!
6:30 in the morning, having my 2nd cup of coffee, and I run across this video.....just AWESOME! One of my favorite songs and this brought on a mountain of smiles and laughs. Thank you for bringing such good vibes to me this morning!
One of the best stage performance i have ever seen in my life.! So relaxing. kind of a emotional roller-coaster! and the humor is outstanding! and yes I am listening it in 2017 !!! Love you guys.. :D
It is wonderful, hearing these men sing and bounce around, all in "k"! So fun and beautiful, continues to give me goosebumps. This is such fun to send to friends for a real treat!
I had such a bad day today. My neighbor passed away from a heart attack. Requiescat in pace (May he rest in peace.) My charge card was compromised and three heavy charges were fraudulently put on my credit card, which fortunately the credit was dropped. But it shocked me to see it at first. Then I listened to this group sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and it just brightened my day. Bravissimo to Straight No Chaser. What a great job. And they seemed to be having such fun performing this song..
This is my brother's favourite song. I haven't seen him nor spoke to him in over 20 years. Brett if you see this I love you and miss you very much. 🇨🇦🕊🌷🥀🌹🥀🥀
I gotta say that every year since I discovered their "12 days of Christmas" version, I listen to it like every day during Christmas season, and I keep looking for more videos. But mostly only around Christmas. So weird.
I attended an "Oldie but Goodie" concert in the early 90's and saw the Tokens perform The Lion Sleeps Tonight. I enjoyed it very much. They sounded just as good as I remembered when hearing it as a kid sometime during the 60's. But I enjoy this one even more! Great job guys! So glad I found this!
Love it! The lead has a very nice and pure tenor and falsetto voice. Choreography was fun too!! Side note: This song has special meaning to me. My sister and I are both Leos. She loved this song. When the Lion King came out, it was a joy to learn this song was included in the sound track. After my sister passed away, whenever I would hear this song, it would bring tears to my eyes. It was fun to hear the song done with such fun and passion for acapella (another favorite of mine). Thank you gentlemen of No Chaser.
IT'S 1:00 am and i should be rounding up my maths studying but just thought to pass by an alltime favorite....had me wearing a goofy grin...thanks for making my morning,this song rocks!
I wd rather listen 2the original Azanian cultural version (without the un- necessary buffoonery), that was stolen by a caucasian group in the 1950's-60's? &4which the originators NEVER benefit- ted from the $$$ millions the white group reaped from the song. Thus they did what the caucasian is infamous 4, being the cleptomaniac his-[own]- story reveals him 2be: he ripped them off of their hard-earned &well de- served financial rewards. What a pitiful shame!!! Therefore, it's imperative that we: "Tell The Truth & Shame the [lying, fork-tong -ued serpent/d-v-l". 'Nuff sed!
It was recorded by the Tokens in 1961, but I won't do the math! It was popular (and continues to be to this day thanks to The Lion King) when I was in elementary school.
Jay Segal and the Tokens are the best and it was their hit song way back. Mr,Segal's range is quite awesome. You might want to check it out on TH-cam. ❤️
Always a favorite. I'm 71 and still love it.
You know, first time, fabulous
I have always loved that song. I am 71 and like me, it’s a classic…..timeless.
how are you doing sir??
We are classic alright! Lol. Love that song. Reminds me of my youth.
I’m 73... still love it 😍
I am 78 and joined the Navy in 1961 and that was one of the top songs at that time. Loved it then and still do!!
I am 68, look 50. Love the good music. Not bragging..just facts.
This is what music is for. Entertaining, spreading joy, and using a God given gift of brightening a spot in life.
Hello Deb 👋, how are you doing?
A timeless classic loved by many but for people who have lived in Africa it can easily make one well up. Love you Africa, always will.
This randomly popped up....no regrets to watching this. Loving it!
Don't know how i get here but who cares! Loved it. What a nice relaxation after getting exhausted and stressed from work 😍
Same here. The ones on Zoom are amazing, too. (I'm assuming that's Zoom.)
And me.
Come on back for another dance break!
These guys are my favorite a-cap group of all time. They look like they're having so much fun and that joy for life is definitely contagious. I need more of this stuff...just hook it to my veins!
The absolutely most entertaining video I’ve ever seen on (years of watching) TH-cam ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

This song was part of my childhood and I appreciate it, BIG TIME.
Oh wow!! When that guy with the high voice started singing I got goosebumps all over me!! This as awesome!! Many thanks, and stay well:-)
Saw these guys in person at 3 separate concerts, and each time they were great! Great singers, "intrumentalists", dancers, and comedians! Wonderful entertainers loaded with talent. A must see!
Just wonder how the Lion is gonna sleep tonight with this song and dance
It's just great!
Can't help but smile when I watch this - Thank god the world still has Music.

Our 4 member wine group has been going to SNC concerts every year since 2014. We already have our tickets for their Dec 2, 2024 show. 🎉
1960 Those were such good days, must be what we will experience in heaven, hearing all our fav groups anytime. 'Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end; we thought they'd last forever and a day.'
Rubber Ball come bouncing back to you......We had so many classics that we can only hope they will never die.....
I'm not old enough to have grown and enjoyed the 50s and 60s. But I used to work with my dad and that's all he listened to. I come to enjoy that era of music.
I caught that feeling that you are trying to express
Wow! That's fantastic! Good job guys!
Love the tenor and the bass.. These guys are good-way crazy!! Thanks for posting this. It's fun.

Then look for their 12 Days of Christmas video. You'll LOVE it!! It's what got them famous.

Always nice to see performers enjoying themselves; really adds to the atmosphere.

Best thing I've seen since Covid. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face the whole time. Love it. Thank you ❤️
We are all sick of COVID and need some good energy in our lives.
Hello Pamela 👋, how are you doing!
Amazing group! Love these guys! Puts a huge smile on my face!
I like how when they're singing about the PEACEFUL village, they start to go faster
you go guys, I like the groove! :))
I hate how the fucking audience keeps clapping a cheering in the middle of the fucking song
I am 57 and I'm ukrainian. But I like this song too. Great!
Still laughing! Thanks, guys, for the "ah-we-go-way" rhythm section. I was sorry when you did go away.
An all-time dynamic performance, brilliant choreography every instant, humour and singing and dance talent showcased forever - Increases optimism and energy levels.Therapeutic music beyond belief. This is thoroughly enjoyable incredible talent.
still going strong...love their performance...made my morning better...
I love this song and I LOVE this group!! My smile for the day!!

My very 1st fav song, I was 11yrs old, now 71. I found a lion head at Walgreen's a few years ago that sings a little bit of song. Good memories!

I'm in my late 70s and remember this song which I loved. I love their version, esp some of the 'wrong' (?) moves...ha ha
Fun and made me laugh, I really enjoyed them A LOT!!!
OMG! I love these guys! Not only were they entertaining but I really enjoyed watching them having fun. It was GREAT.

MsRandomPro I.think its.owsome
when the main singer was born, the doctor was like "I have good and bad news for you. The boy has no balls, but he will probably sing very nice"
Excelenteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Me encantó!!! Es un deleite para el alma :)
Great group performance and that lead singers voice was so nice to listen to wow. Lion King a classic. Peace and Love from Sweden
What a delightful version! This song was popular when I was in high school...oops, did I just reveal my age!!!???
Hey, strut that age and own. 👍
It was recorded by the Tokens in 1961, but I won't do the math! It was popular (and continues to be to this day thanks to The Lion King) when I was in elementary school.
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely..thanks!🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
How fun. This was an amazing performance. Stress free.
