“ Simba: How you did end up here?

Nala: Oh, Simba, he's a tyrant! He never should've been king. You should've been king. —The original reason Nala was exiled[1] ”



This version of "The Madness of King Scar" was set to appear in the film, but it never made it to the big screen because it was "creepy" and "took too long." It wasn't truly deleted, but simply moved to the stage version of the film.

Lyrics

Scar: It's tough at the top

I deserve a companion, a mate

Who will start my cylinder's firing with fervor

And you, my sweet thing, fit the part!



Nala: Excuse me?



Scar: A king alone is a sad situation indeed

But a king without heirs?

Now that's a tragedy...



Nala: You can't be serious.



Scar: I've never been more serious

Be prepared for a stunning proposal

That power and beauty should bond

Which cannot but fail to ensure cries of hail to

The chief and his consort, the sine qua non sort

Of ruling ascendance, our line of descendants

Will flow through the pride and beyond!



Trivia

The title of this song was inspired by the name of a 1991 play, The Madness of King George .

. This song and scene was cut due to its implications of sexual harassment, which was deemed unsuitable for a family film.
