  • The jungle bungled before it rumbled. Jethro Tull's "Bungle In The Jungle" was written long before Muhammad Ali and George Foreman battled it out in Zaire, but their "Rumble In The Jungle" took place right around the time the song was released on the War Child album. The fight was supposed to take place a month earlier, but Foreman was cut during a sparring session, forcing a delay.
