The Madness of King Scar disney song music“The Madness of King Scar” is a song from the stage musical adaptation of Disney’s 1994 animated film “The Lion King“. It was added to the show for its Broadway production and was written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice. The song takes place after Scar has become king of the Pride Lands and reflects on his descent into madness and the effects of his tyrannical rule. The song features Scar and the hyenas, and is a darker and more sinister contrast to the original film’s “Be Prepared” song.

    I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
