Shenzi takes the place of Nala as the hunter who enters the jungle (did that place ever have a name?), driven there for the same reason. But unlike Nala who sees it all as avoiding responsibility, Shenzi gets wrapped up in the pleasure and ease of it all. Fast forward to the stargazing scene, where Shenzi also laughs at the "kings of the past" thing, where as a result the truth comes out.
So yeah, the beats would be the same, as far as I see it.
