This is definitely my all-time favorite Disney song! It sends such a wonderful message too! Who wouldn’t love these two best friends, Pumbaa an adorable warthog and his meerkat best friend, Timon? Actually the name of this beautiful song means no worries in Swahili and it really makes me feel good every time I hear it. It also such a catchy tune and I absolutely love the chorus: “Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase/ Hakuna Matata, ain’t no passing craze/ It means no worries for the rest of your days/ It’s our problem free philosophy, Hakuna Matata”. And this is why this lovely tune makes the top of my list of the most inspirational Disney songs ever.
