Biography

"I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)" is a song sung by King Louie, Baloo, and Mowgli from Walt Disney's 1967 animated feature film, The Jungle Book. The song was sung by Louis Prima and written by songwriters Robert and Richard Sherman. King Louie performs the number in an attempt to share his plight with Mowgli, while simultaneously convincing the man-cub to help him become a man. At one point of the song, Baloo performs a scat duet with Louie. The scat lyrics, as said by Richard Sherman, are meaningless, having been completely ad-libbed by Prima and Harris; albeit during separate recording sessions.
