Hakuna Matata is the signature song of Disney's animated classic The Lion King, released in 1994, with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice, performed by the meerkat Timon and the warthog Pumbaa. The Swahili phrase translates as 'no worries' and became one of the most quoted lines in animation history. This recording comes from the Castilian Spanish dub created for the film's release in Spain. The phrase lives on as internet shorthand for a relaxed, unbothered attitude, appearing in memes, reaction clips and travel videos whenever someone wants to wave away stress with a grin.
