The destitute daughters of the South African man who wrote "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (aka "Wimoweh") have successfully sued Disney for 25% of their profits from the song, as used in The Lion King and elsewhere. Said daughters work as maids, though one died of AIDS because she couldn't afford antiretroviral drugs.

I wonder if they'll next sue Pete Seeger and They Might Be Giants...
