Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: In the jungle, the mighty jungle,
The lion sleeps tonight. Why They're Nonsensical: Contrary to persistent stereotyping, lions inhabit open country, such as grasslands and areas of scattered trees and/or shrub, such as savannas, often semi-arid regions. They do NOT live in jungles.
