Fair use rationale for The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens single cover.jpg
- It is believed that the use of this image on the English-language Wikipedia to illustrate an article on the audio recording in question falls under the "Non-profit educational" clause of the Fair Use doctrine currently upheld by United States law. (17 U.S.C. § 107)
- The image is irreplaceable; a free analogue is impossible to produce as the original will be covered by copyright for the foreseeable future
- Owing to the limited web-resolution of the image, only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used
- For the same reasons, the portion of the copyrighted work used is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | The Lion Sleeps Tonight |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To illustrate the Tokens' song in its dedicated infobox and provide visual identification. This benefits the article's reading experience and accessibility, a purpose words alone cannot serve. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The original cover art is copyrighted, and so a free reproduction of similar educational value is impossible. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | It will only be used in one article. Furthermore, it is, relative to the original work, of very low quality. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
A small, low quality image of a song sleeve should not harm the publisher's commercial interests to use or distribute their work. |
