About the Song
"Be Prepared" is a song from the 1994 Disney film and 1997 Broadway musical The Lion King. The song was composed by Tim Rice (lyrics) and Elton John (music) and originally performed by Jeremy Irons, Cheech Marin, Jim Cummings, and Whoopi Goldberg in the film and by John Vickery, Kevin Cahoon, Stanley Wayne Mathis, and Tracy Nicole Chapman in the original Broadway cast for the musical. The song continued what had become a Disney tradition in their newer movies at that time, where the villain had his or her own song in the movie. This included Professor Ratigan's "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" in The Great Mouse Detective, Ursula's "Poor Unfortunate Souls" in The Little Mermaid, Gaston's The Mob Song in Beauty and the Beast and- to a lesser extent- Frollo's Hellfire in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (as it depicted the inner conflict of the villain).
