The Bare Necessities (cover by Holly Rose Thomas)

Here's a song from my 'busking gig' with Burrs shoe shop in Letchworth Garden City for their back-to-school period! I've learned loads of awesome children's songs for this gig.

The Bare Necessities is a wonderful and popular song, written by Terry Gilkyson, from the animated 1967 Disney film The Jungle Book. It was sung by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli.

Originally, it was written for an earlier draft of the movie that was never produced. The Sherman Brothers, who wrote the other songs of the film, kept this as the only song used from the previous version.

Hurray that they kept it!
