Quiz: How well do you know these songs from Disney animations?

You must Be As Swift As A Coursing River to do well in this quiz.

KELLIE HARRINGTON’S USE of ‘Hakuna Matata’ in interviews has resonated with people after her Olympic success. Win or lose, Kellie would say ‘Hakuna Matata’, and point out that she’s just happy to be at the Games, doing her best.

Hakuna Matata is probably the most famous song from the 1994 Disney animation The Lion King, influenced by the Shakespearean play ‘Hamlet’. But a fair few Disney animations have had songs that resonated with us.

So here’s a quiz to test your nostalgic-musical-animated knowledge.

Let’s start with the title track: What lyric comes after ‘It means no worries, for the rest of your days’ in Hakuna Matata?
It’s our problem-free energy
It’s our problem-free philosophy

It’s our furry - Pumba! Not in front of the kids…

Prince Ali, mighty is he, Ali Ababwa/ Strong as ten, regular men, definitely

He doesn’t pay a fair tax/ He’d rather recline and relax

In ‘Under the Sea’ from the film The Little Mermaid, which one of these lines isn't a reason why is the sea so great, according to Sebastian?

We got the beat here
And finally, back to The Lion King: In Elton John’s Can You Feel the Love Tonight, what line comes after, eh, ‘can you feel the love tonight’?

The peace the evening brings
