Everyone has seen and heard this great song from the Walt
Disney animated film “The Jungle Book.” It’s a modern classic. Louis Prima did
the voice overs for Louis the Ape, creating a lasting impression on anyone who
has ever listened to this song. Although his intentions are evil, his desire is
not. He simply wants to be treated like everyone else; and wield the same
power. He wants the secret of fire.
It’s probably just a coincidence that this film came out at the height of the Cold War, when the United States was competing with the Soviet Union to see who had the biggest, and best, weapon of mass destruction. But then again; maybe not. One of my favorites, this is one film I never got tired of watching with Sarah when she was little. And that, in large part, is due to the antics of King Louie, who, when all is said and done, just wants to be like you.
