the Wimoweh song
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/22/international/africa/22lion.html
Fascinating article about "The Lion Sleeps Tonight/Wimoweh" and its history; I'd assumed it was a traditional song, not one written and recorded in 1939 and then ripped for the next 60 years. The best part is listening to the 5 recorded versions of the song and how it evolves.
