This version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" is one of the fifteen drafts Tim Rice and Elton John had composed as the romantic ballad between Simba and Nala. Prior to this version, a duet version between Simba and Nala had been scrapped causing Rice to experiment with writing "a parody version" between Timon and Pumbaa lamenting the loss of their love-stricken companion to Nala. When John attended a storyreel with this version in it, he was shocked at the romantic love song being sung by a warthog, and convinced the filmmakers that the song felt emotionally flat because a tender scene was played as a joke. This caused the song to be re-structured, and placed back into the film combining the song being opened and closed with Timon and Pumbaa and Simba, Nala, and the "heavenly choir" sing
