The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)
"The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)" is a song and single by alternative rock band They Might Be Giants, released in 1992. The track is one of three singles from ''Apollo 18''. The song has also appeared on several compilation albums, including ''Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants'' and ''A User's Guide to They Might Be Giants''.
==Background==
The song, originally titled "The Guitar", was the result of a jam session based around "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Tokens. This motif is most pronounced in the chorus of the song, which is sung by Laura Cantrell, who also appears in the song's music video.〔''Direct from Brooklyn''. Dir. Adam Bernstein, Nico Beyer, John Flansburgh. Restless, 2003. DVD.〕 However, the influence of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is present throughout the song in its continuous bassline.〔"They Might Be Giants, Apollo 18". ''Rolling Stone''. 1992.〕 Due to the legal ramifications of the recurring theme, Elektra appended "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" to the end of the song's title.〔
The music video for "The Guitar" was the first They Might Be Giants video to be directed by bandmember John Flansburgh.〔''Gigantic (A Tale Of Two Johns)''. Dir. AJ Schnack. 2002. Plexifilm, 2003.〕
