Easily one of the most covered Disney songs I come across in my travels, ‘I Wan’na Be Like You’ from the 1967 film The Jungle Book is yet another classic tune written by the Sherman brothers
Helping to elevate this song to legendary status are musician Louis Prima as King Louie, and Phil Harris as Baloo. Let’s hear Fall Out Boy’s rockin’ cover featured on the We Love Disney album
Now for a cover by the English reggae band UB40. This song can be found on the album Disney Reggae Club
Last for today is the Beantown Swing Orchestra from Brookline, Massachusetts, with their big band take on the tune.
We’ll have to revisit this song again for sure, there are just too many good covers of this classic out there!
