Has Disney been "Lion" about Jeremy Iron's singing voice?

It's one of the more memorable moments from Disney's The Lion King. When Scar reveals — in the song "Be Prepared" — his plan to murder Mufasa.

It's hard to single out which element really puts this musical number
over the top. Tim Rice's witty lyrics. Those goose-stepping hyenas or
Jeremy Irons' sinuous vocal performance.

But here's the thing: The Academy Award-winner didn't actually sing "Be Prepared" … Well, not all of it, anyway.
