A scene from The Lion King 1994
Zazu
(singing, depressed)

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, nobody knows my sorrow...

Scar

Oh, Zazu, do lighten up. Sing something with a little, um, bounce in it!

Zazu
(thinks for a moment, then sings)

It's a small world, after all...

Scar

No! No! Anything but that!

Zazu
(begrudgingly)

I've got a love-a-ley bunch of coconuts, diddely-diddely, / There they are a-standing in a row...

Zazu/Scar
(Scar grins and joins in with actions and singing, even using a skull as a puppet)

Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head...

Zazu
[while Scar continues]

Oh, I would never have had to do this for Mufasa--

Scar
[angry]

What?! What did you say?

Zazu

Erm, nothing!

Scar

You know the law! Never EVER mention that name in my presence. I am the KING!

Zazu

Yes, sire. You are the king. I... I only mentioned it to illustrate the differences in your royal managerial approaches. [nervous laugh]
