Continuing on with songs from The Lion King :)

Facts About: "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"

- It was composed by Elton John and the lyrics were written by Tim Rice

- The song was performed in the film by Kristle Edwards, Joseph Williams, Sally Dworsky, Nathan Lane, and Ernie Sabella

- It was described by Don Hahn (the film's producer), Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff (the film's directors) as having "the most diverse history" in the film.

- It was a chart hit in the UK, peaking at #14 on the UK Singles Chart, and achieved even more success in the U.S., reaching a peak of #4 on the Billboard Hot 100

- The song was a number-one hit in France.

- It won the 1994 Academy Award for Best Original Song, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.

- The song was once planned to be sung only by Timon and Pumbaa, but Elton John disliked the comical nature of the concept, as he had wanted to make a wholly romantic Disney song. Disney did not plan on using the song in the movie originally. It was only at the insistence of John that the company included it in the movie

- Later, the song was planned to be sung this time only by Simba and Nala but in the end the idea was scrapped again, and the final result was the song mainly sung by an off-screen voice (Kristle Edwards) with short lines from Simba (Joseph Williams) and Nala (Sally Dworsky), and the beginning and end parts by Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella).It also included African vocals that, while mostly muted in the on-screen version, were much more prominently featured in the audio-only releases.
