The Bare Necessities

"The Bare Necessities" is a jazz-style song written by Terry Gilkyson, originally featured in Disney's 1967 animated film The Jungle Book, where it was performed by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli. Its relaxed, swinging jazz feel makes it an appealing piece for electric guitarists looking to explore jazz chord voicings, walking bass lines, and melodic phrasing. The song's simple but charming structure offers a comfortable entry point into jazz-influenced playing without being overwhelming.

  • Originally written by Terry Gilkyson, the song was one of the few Jungle Book tracks not composed by the Sherman Brothers.
  • Its shuffling jazz rhythm is ideal for practicing swing feel and syncopated strumming patterns on electric guitar.
  • The song reappeared in the 2016 live-action remake, performed by Bill Murray and Neel Sethi in the same classic roles.
