Written Explanations:

I'll Make A Man Out of You: If you go to Act 1 scene 7 lines 47 through 57 (Lady Macbeth's speech), you will see Lady Macbeth reminding Macbeth that he is not a man and that he can and ought to become a man by fulfilling his promise. In a sense, Lady Macbeth is making a man out of Macbeth by making him keep his word (which was apparently a quality inherent to manliness). When Macbeth questions failure on line 58, Lady Macbeth continues her convincing manliness argument as she explains how a true man couldn't possibly fail (since Duncan is literally in their grasp and virtually unguarded).

Be Prepared: In Act 3, scene 1, lines 115 until the end of the scene, Macbeth is discussing Banquo's murder with the murderers. Now refer to the context of the song in The Lion King. Scar, who is cheering up the hyenas and explaining the whole process and benefits represents Macbeth. The two murderers whose only lines from 115 until the end of the scene are just the expression of their loyalty, represent the hyenas in The Lion King. This is because the hyenas just do what they are told because they are persuaded by the higher, more intelligent, being. In addition, Macbeth tries to "pump up" the murderers by saying things like "your assistance do make love" (your assistance earns my love) and "Your spirits shine through you". Like scar, Macbeth is simply trying to earn the loyalty of his murderers. The last coincidence would be the fact that both Scar and Macbeth were planning to take out the powerful man and his possible threat of a son. Even more coincidental, both sons survived.

I Just Can't Wait To Be King: In this song, simba has learned that he is in line to be king. He then becomes very excited and he expresses his anxiety towards being the king. Simba's childish nature prohibits him from seeing the harsh demands of ruling over a country. Simba's mind is clouded with only the power and fortune of being king. In the case of Macbeth, he also learned of his prophecy to become king. Macbeth will soon become engrossed in becoming king and will take drastic and bloody steps to get there. A prime example of this lust for power would be when Macbeth found out that he had been pronounced thane of Cawdor so it seems like this will culminate in his becoming king.

Yesterday: Refer back to act 5, scene 5, lines 17-28. Macbeth just received news of Lady Macbeth's death. At this point in the story, he is reflecting on her death. While he refers to "tomorrow", he is talking about some of their advantages in "recorded time". Similarly, the song yesterday sings the tales of what used to be and what had been.

Another One Bites The Dust: This song can be used throughout the entire story as a number of people "bite the dust" such as Duncan, his guards, Banquo, Macduff's entire family, young Siward, Lady Macbeth, and even Macbeth. Seeing as death is an often occurrence, I thought it would be appropriate to use a song that says "another one down, and another one down. Another one bites the dust. Hey, I'm going to get you too, another one bites the dust". Pscho Killer: Psycho killer refers to two specific characters in the story. The psycho is Lady Macbeth and the killer is Macbeth. Lady Macbeth displayed how psycho she is in the beginning when she expressed what she would do to keep a promise (kill her own child!). Then again in act 5 scene 1, Lady Macbeth completely loses it as she tries to wash blood off her hand that doesn't actually exist (hallucinations). Macbeth being a killer is more obvious, however. He did not literally kill everyone but it was his intention and his conspiracy. Therefore gets the credit for the deaths of Duncan, his guards, Banquo, and Macduff's family. Just as the song talks about a psycho killer Lady Macbeth and Macbeth embody the description.
