I wanna be like you

"I Wanna Be Like You" is a song from the Disney movie "The Jungle Book" released in 1967. It was originally performed in the key of B-flat major. The song was composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, who were also known for their work on other Disney classics such as Mary Poppins. The charismatic character King Louie, a smooth-talking Orangutan, performed this upbeat and jazzy number. Interestingly, Louis Prima provided the voice and singing for King Louie, infusing his unique style into the performance. A fun bit of trivia is that Louis Prima's wife, Keely Smith, and band The Witnesses also lent their talents to the recording. The melody of "I Wanna Be Like You" is catchy and lively, featuring energetic brass instruments and swinging rhythms, perfectly capturing the lively spirit of the song.
