"The Bare Necessities" is a jazz song, written by Terry Gilkyson,[1] from Disney's 1967 animated feature film The Jungle Book, sung by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli.[2] Bill Murray and Neel Sethi, in the same roles, performed the song in the 2016 remake.[3]
Background
Originally, it was written for an earlier draft of the film that was never produced.[4] The Sherman Brothers, who wrote the other songs of the film, kept this as the only song used from the previous version. A reprise of the song was sung by Sebastian Cabot as Bagheera and Phil Harris as Baloo at the end of the film. Van Dyke Parks worked on the arrangement.[5] In 1967, "The Bare Necessities" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost to "Talk to the Animals" from Doctor Dolittle.[6] A hip-hop version of the song performed by Lou Rawls was used as the theme song for Jungle Cubs.[7]
