Tight Fit war ein britisches Musikprojekt, das zwischen 1981 und 1983 bestand. Ihr größter Erfolg war eine Coverversion des Titels The Lion Sleeps Tonight, mit dem sie Anfang 1982 die Spitze der UK-Charts erreichten. (de) Tight Fit is an English pop group which had several hits in the early 1980s, including a UK No.1 for three weeks with their cover version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in 1982. (en) Tight Fit was een Britse popgroep die begin jaren 80 korte tijd populair was. Tight Fit scoorde enkele hits met een typisch ABBA-geluid. De overeenkomst was zo sterk, dat het management van ABBA met een rechtszaak dreigde als de groep bleef doorgaan met het imiteren van ABBA. De groep bestond uit de zanger Steve Grant (26 februari 1960) en de zangeressen Julie Harris (15 augustus 1958) en Denise Gyngell (30 augustus 1961), alhoewel er geruchten gingen dat de groepsleden nooit zelf gezongen hebben. Producer was Tim Friese-Greene, die ook producer van Talk Talk was. In Nederland scoorde de groep hun enige hit met het nummer The Lion Sleeps Tonight, dat in 1982 een nummer 1-hit werd. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk scoorde de band eerst een Stars on 45-achtige disco-medley-hit, en na The Lion Sleeps Tonight nog één hit met Fantasy Island. Dit nummer was oorspronkelijk van The Millionaires die hiermee in 1981 meededen aan de Nederlandse voorronde van het Eurovisiesongfestival. (nl) Tight Fit är en brittisk musikgrupp, bildad 1981.
