best cover of "the Lion Sleeps tonight"

doesn't have to be named the lion sleeps tonight, such as Eek-a-mouse "safari", "Mbube" or "wihmoweh", but it has to be the same tune of the reportedly most widely covered song. Personally, I like the Acapella version done by The Nylons, but that's cause I grew up with it.

I kind of like They Might Be Giants version. Though, I don't know if its technically a cover.

In the early 80's a uk group Tight Fit did a version which was very popular.
