Turns out, the <strong>original script<\/strong> did not include <strong>Hakuna Matata<\/strong>, but rather <strong>a song about eating bugs.<\/strong> However, the team <strong>couldn&#8217;t all agree upon the song<\/strong>, so the research team went to<strong> Africa<\/strong> for inspiration.
