The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event in 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). Held at the 20th of May Stadium on the night of October 30, 1974 (4:00 am), it pitted the undefeated world heavyweight champion George Foreman against challenger Muhammad Ali, a former heavyweight champion. Attendance was about 60,000. Ali won by knockout, putting Foreman down just before the end of the eighth round. It has been called "arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century".
The event was one of Don King's first ventures as a professional boxing promoter. He managed to get Ali and Foreman to sign separate contracts saying they would fight for him if he could get a $5 million purse. However, King did not have the money, so he began looking for an outside country to sponsor the event. Zaïre's dictator Mobutu Sésé Seko asked for the fight to be held in his country, eager for the publicity such a high-profile event would bring. King had pulled together a consortium that included a Panamanian company called Risnelia Investment, the Hemdale Film Corporation, a British company founded by film producer John Daly and the actor David Hemmings, Video Techniques Incorporated of New York and Don King Productions. Although King is most closely associated with the fight, Hemdale and Video Techniques Inc., with whom King was a director, were the official co-promoters of the fight.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight", also known as "Wimoweh", "Wimba Way" or "Awimbawe", is a song written and recorded originally by Solomon Linda with the Evening Birds for the South African Gallo Record Company in 1939, under the title "Mbube". Composed in Zulu, it was adapted and covered internationally by many 1950s pop and folk revival artists, including the Weavers, Jimmy Dorsey, Yma Sumac, Miriam Makeba and the Kingston Trio. In 1961, it became a number one hit in the United States as adapted in English with the best-known version by the doo-wop group the Tokens. It went on to earn at least US$15 million in royalties from cover versions and film licensing.
"Mbube" (Zulu: lion) was written in the 1920s, by Solomon Linda, a South African singer of Zulu origin, who later worked for the Gallo Record Company in Johannesburg as a cleaner and record packer. He spent his weekends performing with the Evening Birds, a musical ensemble, and it was at Gallo Records, under the direction of black producer Griffiths Motsieloa, that Linda and his fellow musicians recorded several songs including "Mbube," which incorporated a call-response pattern common among many Sub-Saharan African ethnic groups, including the Zulu.
The Jungle is a 1906 novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878–1968). Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. However, most readers were more concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, based on an investigation he did for a socialist newspaper.
The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery."
Sinclair was considered a muckraker, or journalist who exposed corruption in government and business. He first published the novel in serial form in 1905, in the Socialist newspaper, Appeal to Reason, between February 25, 1905 and November 4, 1905. In 1904, Sinclair had spent seven weeks gathering information while working incognito in the meatpacking plants of the Chicago stockyards for the newspaper. It was published as a book on February 26, 1906, by Doubleday and in a subscribers' edition.
"The Jungle" is episode 77 of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It first aired on December 1, 1961.
Alan Richards and his wife Doris have recently returned from Africa, where Alan's company is constructing a dam. He discovers she has secretly kept several items given to her by a local shaman for protection. When he confronts her about them, she insists that they are nothing more to her than souvenirs. He decides to test her and burns them, which causes her to become upset and beg him to stop construction on the dam. He ignores her pleas and opens the door to leave for work. In the hallway of his apartment building, just outside his door, is the carcass of a dead goat.
Alan attends a board meeting, where they discuss the dam and the fact that, although the natives will benefit from it in the long run, they are upset that they will be displaced in order to build it. He warns that the local witch doctors have threatened to use "black magic" against anyone associated with the project. When the other board members scoff, he points out their own superstitions: One carries a rabbit's foot, another practices astrology- even the building does not have a 13th floor.

[Verse 1:]
Its 10 o'clock, wakin' up for a new day
Another dollar, hit the block, gotta get paid
Spendin hours, movin rocks or blue-collar worker
Approached many times, proposition for a merger
T.T., an independent and he know the worth of
What he control is more than they had to offer
He scoffed at the idea of what they had to say
So Uptown, so T.T. to have it your way
We buy you out now, or take it later homie
T.T. told Uptown 'show me' and the beef was set
See somebody definitely gon' feel it
They gotta show the other who the realest, turn killers
They say sleep is the cousin of death
And nobody wanna die, so nobody getting rest
98 degrees, sun out scorchin
T.T. got gunned down on his mama porch drinkin' lemonade
[Chorus:]
I'm tryin to tell ya that the shit will drive you crazy
Take ya brotha, take ya son or ya baby
What I know now, is what this hood made me
Livin life in the Jungle
[Verse 2:]
Gina had a gig watchin other peoples' kids
Trustworthy, but nobody checked the way she lived
Westside, Hampton Courts, Apartment 2K
Two kids already and a dude named Jay
Jay had some issues, a problem with his hands
He used to put 'em on Gina like she was a man
And that's problematic, always in the some static
He used to show his ass in front of kids a filthy habit
Gina had enough, she couldn't take the pain
She told Jay she bout to find herself a new man
She got a new plan, and a new focus
She don't need Jay no more and he know this
Meantime somebody's baby in the tub drownin
Jay in the bedroom on Gina poundin'
Face down the way she found him
Now they both doin fair time, I'm thinking she got life DAMN
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Homeboy he got dreams formulatin plans
Schemes on the other hand tryna get grands
Stick-up man in the hood, takin all ya grams
They remember when he wasn't ill, just Fam
Now he on a dolo mission
Graduated 86' Datsun to a brand-new Expedition
His team on the outside wishin
Lookin in with green eyes, it wasn't no surprise that
Solitude would be his downfall
He left his crew at the bottom so they gotta take him down pa
All he had to do was put em' on some game
Share a little bit, but he wanted all the fame
Cruisin' round the hood, perpin' hard, actin lame
Not knowin he gon' get it, it's a motherfuckin shame
Pulled up to the curb to show love to his man
Them boyz put two in his brain and called that shit even
