I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)
- I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)
"I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)" is a song from Walt Disney's 1967 film, "The Jungle Book". The song was sung by Louis Prima and written by songwriters Robert and Richard Sherman.
According to Richard Sherman on the Platinum Edition DVD and on the soundtrack, the "scat dialogue" between Baloo and King Louie was the result of two recording sessions. Louis Prima recorded first, and when Phil Harris decided not to imitate Prima's recording, he made up his own.
Cover versions
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy did a cover of this song on the "Swingers" soundtrack, even though the song does not appear in the film.

In the Australian version, Nikki Webster covers the song, which is also featured on her Best-of album. A version by the Turnpike Cruisers appeared on the second "Blood on the Cats" LP. The 2005 album "En Vivo" by Gabriel Rios contains a cover of the song. In 2007, a pop rock cover was recorded by the Jonas Brothers for "Disneymania 5".
