“The Bare Necessities” is a song, written by Terry Gilkyson, from the animated 1967 Disney film The Jungle Book, 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. A reprise of the song was sung by Sebastian Cabot as Bagheeraand Phil Harris as Baloo at the end of the film. Van Dyke Parks worked on the arrangement, which was his first paid gig after moving to California.

‘The Bare Necessities’ was also sung by Louis Armstrong. In 1967, “The Bare Necessities” was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. A hip-hopversion of the song performed by Lou Rawls was used as the theme song for Jungle Cubs.

It has been suggested that the original trumpet solo was played by Cappy Lewis.
