P Polynesiac Tiki Socialite San Pedro, CA Joined: Jan 29, 2004 Posts: 2099	P Polynesiac Posted posted on 09/15/2004 I wanna be like you - is the song the monkey (chimp?) sings to Mowgli in Disney's "Jungle Book." There is a killer swing version of this song on the "Swingers" soundtrack Sung by Louis Prima for the disney film (he did the voice too) and FYI (not to sound like an ass, so please forgive) he's based on an orangutan...which are great apes. It's kinda like calling apples "oranges". But I suppose would work under these pretenses... The version from the swingers soundtrack is done by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy just my 2 apes worth... Hows about "straighten up and fly right", the version I'm thinking of is the Nat King Cole hit. "Hey, at least I'm housebroken." [ Edited by: Polynesiac on 2004-09-14 19:33 ]
