WHat "Not in front of the kids" word?
jeolo...@miavx3.mid.muohio.edu
Am I an idiot?!? What "Not in front of the kid" line was that warthog going
to deliver that Timon stopped him from saying?!?
I've read the lyrics 10 times now and haven't a clue...

Silly! It's ******!
Well, let's examine this. Start by assuming that it's going to maintain
the same rhyme scheme as the rest of the song, so it rhymes with
"downhearted". Checking the number of beats in the line indicates it's a
two-syllable word. So, a two-syllable word, rhyming with "downhearted",
coming from an ashamed and odorous warthog?
Enough clues?

HA ha! I loved that part... It was better than Iago's "How in the
he..." from Aladdin!

I'm also coming into this late. I was just thinking about this the other
day as my kids made me play the soundtrack for what seemed like the
millionth time in my car. It's pretty easy to figure out what it is for
yourself.. it rhymes with hearted and it's a bodily function that gives
off a foul odor :-).

Timon singing about Pumbaa:
he found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
(reeds wilt in Pumbaa's wake, a la Pepe le Pew)
he could clear the savanna after ev'ry meal
(Pumbaa drinks by waterhole, zebras flee in disdain)
Pumbaa:
i'm a sensitive soul
though I seemed thick-skinned
and it hurt that my friends
never stood downwind
and oh, the shame [Timon: he was ashamed]
thought of changing my name [Timon: oh, what's in a name]
and I got down-hearted
ev'ry time that I --
Timon:
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
So, what word rhyming with "heart" describes something that involves
"aromas" after "ev'ry meal" originating from Pumbaa's rear end?

I believe it was to say "fart" (rhyhms with "heart").

Good! I asked myself "How can Tim Rice write this?" I must
disagree on the sub-standard lyric comment: Tim Rice's lyrics out-does
most of the music he's ever worked on (including Lloyd Webber's). He was
a highlight of *TLK* and about the only thing (besides Williams) going for
*Alladin*.

Is it just me or was this entire joke a big flop? First time I heard it
I didn't even know that it had happened, well, I wouldn't have, if I
didn't already know from an unprotected spoiler on rec.arts.disney. It
seems that no one even hears the word "downhearted" because of all the
melodramatic music around it, so they don't even recognise that there's
a word to rhyme with. Once you do know what it is it isn't all that
funny anyway. I for one find this the most stupid part of the whole
film.

It might have been just you and a few thousand. I actually heard it,
understood it, and found it amusing because of its recognition of the
audience. Sure, the lyric is immature, but it was never used, was it?
I just tried to enjoy the film and not really question why there was a
spotlight on Simba in the same scene when he started to sing, or how it
was possible that little Timon could pull big Pumbaa up on a swing...
so in answer to your question, I don't think the joke was a big flop to
those of us who figured it out...

What exactly were you watching (and listening to)! Most of the Tim Rice
lyrics in both of those films were sappy, unimaginative and just plain
dumb. I realize that this is just my opinion, but his lyrics don't hold a
candle to the works of the late Howard Ashman. And since Ashman was the
most recent Disney lyricyst (before Rice) then that is the standard to
which I hold him. If you listen to the words of "Friend Like Me", or
"Prince Ali" (both Ashman's) and compare them to "One Jump Ahead", or
anything from The Lion King, you'll hear a distinct difference in the wit
and charm of the songs. BTW, If Jim Cummings did write that verse in
"Hakuna Matata", then why wasn't he given credit for it in the CD's liner
notes? Just curious.
One last thing. As far as Rice's lyrics being "about the only thing
(besides Williams) going for *Alladin* (sp). I believe, if you look
closely, you'll see some of the best Disney animation EVER in that film as
well.
Just my opinions.
