I wonder if this song was intended to be more revealing to a US-pop-culture-brained consumer, but the reference didn't land?
The most obvious/egregious case being in Moana where in the movie The Rock has fun with but kind of struggles against "You're Welcome" and Miranda himself unfairly sings it over the End Credits just so you know how it sounds like as it was intended to be sung without the compromise of passing it off to a fun Name actor. (Less egregiously/obviously, it is also why "Shiny" is kind of unfair as the villain song in the same movie, because Jemaine Clement as we know from Flight of the Conchords has the raw talent to pull it off and does pull it off, even with Miranda trying to throw him curve balls.)
Some of the reviewers made the great point that Moana 2 falls flat compared to the first one partly because Lin-Manuel Miranda wasn't on the songwriting team. (Your Welcome was excellent too)
I haven't seen this Lion King movie but that's a rare failure for him if "Bye Bye" isn't very good.
Given context, Scuttle is supposed to be an annoying character and Awkwafina does annoying lol. Still though, as one of a couple of new songs it sticks out in a bad way.
