Be Prepared (Disney's The Lion King) // Jonathan Young ROCK/METAL COVER 

Jonathan is secretly a disney villain.

Your voice when you sing this reminds me of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror, think you could do some of those songs?

So freaking amazing!! Dude I paired this up beside the original movie and it was chilling! Well done!

I think scar on Villians Lair would approve! Maybe they interview him🤔...😄

You have the perfect voice for this

OMG!!! Your voice is like a god! That evil laugh at 3:40-3:45 was fucking amazing awesome job!! This is the first cover I've seen you do. Keep it up! :D

God damn!! You just rocked a Lion King musical song!! #LongLiveTheKing

I love scar and john..this works

When he started the intro. Me: Damn😶

Loved it!!

Love this version ....love even more they keep showing the white fan blowing the guitarists hair 😅

Man that solo is awesome! Nice sweep picking.

I love all your music that you do on here, so Awesome!!!!

most are addicted to coffee me im addict to these Disney villain covers

Damn that voice *melts*

goosebumps

It would be a little cooler if the "and where do we feature?" Part would have been higher like in the film. The rest is just perfect

i love

Why did the hyenas not participate in this version? *SIMPLE:* They were wide-eyed, cowering in the corner of the cave.

how long intill disney lets him be a villian in a movie?

Dude, you should definitely voice a Disney villain, scratch that, there should be a Disney movie with him and Caleb Hyles, Hyles being the hero and Jonathan being the villain

My parents told me to find some nice Disney songs for my brother... Well... :D

"... a matter of pride~" Did- did Scar just make a pun?

So how did you two start dating? -He told me to stick with him and I'll never be hungry again ^°^

Scar with this voiceover would have been creepy as fuck.

It's never complete without a majestically long haired guitarist with a fan blowing in front of him as he plays

I wish that I had baby teeth...

Better than that remake.

You ARE a disney villian

this man is literaly a real life disney villain

*sings metal* I WILL BE KING BE PREPARED ----------- Afterward... Cuddles cute guinepig

Original version: A cartoon lion telling his conquest plans to a pack of stupid and crazy Hienas Jonathan's version: An evil king telling his world domination plans to a massive army of insane carnivore demons, trying to convince them to give him devilish powers and their help as soldiers (The king is a human but he made a ritual to summon the Hell's army)

My parents were like "what the hell are you listening to??" Me: Disney music? 😶

I didn't know Disney Villain ASMR was a thing...

This literally made the hairs on my neck stand up. Well done kind sir! Combining my love for Disney and Metal into one... You have become my hero!

You should voice scar in the live action version of lion king. You have the perfect scar voice. Disney needs to see this masterpiece.

"I WILL BE KING!" - Jonathan Young "GET THIS MAN A THRONE AND CROWN SOMEONE!" - Everyone with ears

My body was not _prepared_

so this is what Lucifer sounds like when he sings.. huh .

how can this guy be so pretty, scary, talented, hot and creepy at the same time. i've been looking for a good scar cover for a while and this one is just breathtaking....

Scar was pretty bad to begin with, but if he had that voice, I'd. Be. *Terrified*

About half way through the song, i got worried that Morgoth had returned.

*lyrics that I googled quickly* I never thought hyenas essential They're crude and unspeakably plain But maybe they've a glimmer of potential If allied to my vision and brain I know that your powers of retention Are as wet as a warthog's backside But-thick as you are-pay attention! My words are a matter of pride It's clear from your vacant expressions The lights are not all on upstairs But we're talking kings and successions Even you can't be caught unawares! So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer And where do you feature? Just listen to teacher I know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded When at last I am given my dues And injustice deliciously squared Be prepared! [Solo] Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again! I will be king! Long Live the King! I will be king! The future is littered with prizes And though I'm the main addressee The point that I must emphasize is You won't get a sniff without me! So prepare for the coup of the century Be prepared for the murkiest scam Meticulous planning Tenacity spanning Decades of denial Is simply why I'll Be king undisputed Respected, saluted And seen for the wonder I am Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared! Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared! Long Live the King!

I've always thought Scarr had a sexy voice, but you just made it better 😍😍

Frollo's Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame!

Frightend? : a little Aroused? : more than a little In love with my new king?: is that even a question Hyped near the limit of my heartsability? : yes

that voice at the beginning made me cream my jeans

"Long. Live. The King." I had very erotic, very delicious shivers go through my spine when he said that. I'm not ashamed.

2:23 I was NOT PREPARED

Turned on? Slightly. Terrified? Slightly. Prepared? Noooope. Hotel? Trivago.

seriously, Jonathan Young, Caleb Hyles, Peter Hollens, Nick Pitera, and Alex Gronlund (Alex G) would make the perfect group for a new disney movie... a REAL disney movie, a disney movie that brings back what Disney needs to be.

Jonathan Young, you should do Lion King 2's "That's my lullaby"

As someone who had heavy admiration for scars voice and mannerisms as a child... I think I have a crush and it’s my first time seeing this guy 0_0

Oh man you are so good! It would totaly rock if you did Friends on the other side from princess and the frog!

Zira's lullaby from Lion King 2 might just make a great metal cover. And you already make a great Disney villain ;) hint hint nudge nudge

Goosebumps from the intro to the last note. Well done,sir.

I'm trying to imagine Disney hiring Jonathan for official covers for live-action remakes of classic Disney musicals. Disney goes horror-adventure?

And then my pants needed to be changed...

Fun fact in the original song Jeremy Irons sang most of the song but developed voice problems before he could finish. So Jim Cummings sang the part from "Coup of the Century" onward having apparently having recorded his own vocals of the song. Cummings managed to mimic Irons voice so well that most people don't notice the switch.

One word describe you friend... AWESOME!!! Nice one champ

if markiplier did metal he'd sound like this guy

1:49: Can we all just appreciate the fact that we can actually SEE the fan, and not just the effect it has on the hair? x)

If they ever did a live action version of the lion king he should voice scar

Please do "Not one of Us" from Lion King 2

I came back here after listening to your new cover, damn...I can't choose

Could you cover 'My Lullaby' fron Lion King 2? That would be awesome if you did.

This is probably my new favorite cover of this song, your voice just fits so well with this song keep it up! (I'm new to this channel and I'm already loving it!)

if he doesn't scare you, no evil thing will...

I just saw the new "live action" version of Lion King and this song was freaking AWESOME in it! Oh wait....no they basically skipped!!! Fuck new Disney!

Your lack of Hyenas disturbs me

someone needs to make a petition for him to show his guinea pig (or hamster) more cause it's a blessing

Your voice is literally perfect for this.

COuld you do The Plagues from Prince of Egypt

I love the line "My words are a matter of pride" bc it's both a lion's pride and the emotion pride

OMG who else loooves the part when he says " exciting new era is tiptoeing nearer" also he is like every girls dream guy 😂😂

Be Prepared Jeremy Irons Lyrics I never thought hyenas essential They're crude and unspeakably plain But maybe they've a glimmer of potential If allied to my vision and brain I know that your powers of retention Are as wet as a warthog's backside But thick as you are, pay attention My words are a matter of pride It's clear from your vacant expressions The lights are not all on upstairs But we're talking kings and successions Even you can't be caught unawares So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer And where do we feature? Just listen to teacher I know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded When at last I am given my dues And injustice deliciously squared Be prepared! It's great that we'll soon be connected With a king who'll be all-time adored Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected To take certain duties on board The future is littered with prizes And though I'm the main addressee The point that I must emphasize is You won't get a sniff without me! So prepare for the coup of the century Be prepared for the murkiest scam Meticulous planning Tenacity spanning Decades of denial Is simply why I'll Be king undisputed Respected, saluted And seen for the wonder I am Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared! Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared!

I will tell my kids he was Scar's original voice.

HELLFIRE FROM HUNCH BACK OF NOTRE DAME

came because of Mykie stayed because he's hot... *ahem* talented... I meant to say he's talented

Old Jonathan Young just hits different 🖤

Jeremy Irons would be proud

Oh my gosh You should have speak Scar in the movie!

Srsly Jonathan Young how do we know ur not one of the seven princes of hell or something? This version is way too awesomely badass for a human to make!

Finally... I was a taxi

Are you on team hero or team villain? I can't choose. Both are so cool..

Me: Loves Disney Me: Loves Metal Jonathan Young: Me: 😫😍

We need a metal cover of When You're Evil. Seriously, I can't find one... Please Jon?

I was not prepared

Could you do a cover 'Friends on the Other Side' from Princess and the Frog?

Anybody else think that Mr. Young is really the devil, here to enslave us through the power of f*cking amazing music?

I've always like darker music so this song was one of my favorites growing up, you definitely did it justice!

0:00 - 0:04 Idk what you were trying to do there but you do you buddy

this cover was so brilliant it scarred me for life.

His voice is incredibly sexy wtf

I just... sorry, I just like the Google Translate version of this better. A politican that promises that he'll go hungry before his people do is just too amazing.

Fun fact: after the part where scar says “just listen to teacher” it actually switches from Jeremy Irons to Jim Cummings because Irons blew out his voice during the recording. And if you don’t know who Jim Cummings is, he plays Ed the Hyena in that movie.

I am speechless at the end of this. I love the way this makes you realize how hardcore and well-read, and DARK this character and this story and this WRITING and this casting was (I love Jeremy irons and didn’t know he was the voice of scar in this movie. I was little when The Lion King came out. This song is actually terrifying. But weirdly, I don’t remember being particularly disturbed by it then. Anyway- your rendition of it was really genius and well-done. I can’t wait to play more of your songs. Thanks for sharing.

Just 13 seconds in and that opening vocals gave me CHILLS! Also, you sound so much like Scar in this it's scary. I LOVE IT!

Fucking love the hand movements, don't even know why but I love it.

Honestly he’s the only guy I’ve seen who rocks a suit with a beanie, well done 👏 Anyway, 2019 anyone?
