And this has what to do with the song??

Strange short featuring Timon and Pumba from the Disney feature The Lion King. Timon sings the song "Stand by Me" while Pumba is pummeled with various objects. Has only a few funny moments, most the time you'll just sit there wondering who on earth thought this was a good idea.
