This Foo Fighters x The Lion King Mash-Up Will Make Your Day

But if you're not up for it, this mash-up from DJ Cummerbund might just suffice – not only because it includes a big old dose of Dave, but also Carmen Twillie, Lebo M., Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, Elton John, Tim Rice and Prince. Because of course it does.
