The Bare Necessities.
One of my all time favourite Disney songs, from my absolute favourite movie, The Jungle Book!
It’s one of those songs that I simply cannot stop singing, once I hear it! You know, like one of those ear worms, that annoy the heck out of you, except this one doesn’t annoy me, but probably annoys all those around me as I go about my business, being Baloo the Bear, singing about the best way to go about life (if you were a bear!)
Many people ask me if I like it because of the connection to India, me being Indian, but to be honest, it’s as far removed from any India I have ever experienced! In fact it didn’t really click to me that the film was even based in India until much later!
As I got older, then the racial connotations of people calling Indian boys Mowgli, started to make sense.
But you know what, I am not interested in making this some preachy post about racism, and stereotyping, oh no!
I just want to celebrate this fantastic film, and song!
So, which song is your ear-worm of choice?
