The Morning Report song in The Lion King
I was a child of Disney and we had a VHS copy of the Lion King. I watched it many many times but never saw a song called "The Morning Report" with Rowan Atkinson singing as Zazu but it appears on various CDs and soundtracks I've seen since.
Was this song only released in some versions?
Best Answer
The song was created when the film was made, but cut for the initial theatrical release.
However, it was added in later for some IMAX and home video releases, mainly due to the song being included in the live Broadway production of The Lion King.

Why is the song Morning Report Not in Lion King?
'The Morning Report' is familiar with rejection as it originally was to feature in the film version, but was deleted from the final movie before it was released to cinemas. Directors decided to use the song in the musical and it was sung for over ten years in the stage adaptation before it was eventually cut as well.Who sings the morning report in Lion King?

"I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" is a novelty song written by Fred Heatherton, a songwriting pseudonym for a collaboration of English songwriters. It is sung by Zazu to Scar. However, after singing a few lyrics, Zazu complains that he would never have had to do this for Mufasa.The Lion King | \
