Louis Prima - Jungle Book

Shear genius! Just imagine... the animators patterned the scene after Louis Prima's style! I wish we all could do something that we had as much fun doing as Louis and his musicians did when they performed.

HAhahahah awesome!!!
"What? You wanna make a monkey out of me?"
"And so we did..."

Here in New Orleans, we were lucky enough to have Louis Prima in the Endymion Mardi Gras Parade.Phil Harris was Bacchus that year in their parade. Good memories.

hahaha so sweet! n.n this made my day! thanks!

I met Louis Prima once in Memphis, Tennessee. I said to the man in front of me, "Hey, nice socks!" He turned around, and it was Louis Prima! Then he ate a banana.

Geant !!!

before katrina at the concert hall in new orleans they had all these picture of louis prima because thats where he was from i remeber seeing them when i was little and when my little sister started taking dance and for him to be as famous as he was for an italian man in the early 50 was amazing because italians were consider a minority back then but i learned that from my grandparents my mom and dad got the same kind of treatment up until the late early 70s

Apparently, that Disney only used what Prima sang/played and put the music we hear in the song over his band's original recording. They said it was "too wild" for audiences of the time. Man, what I wouldn't do to hear that original recording!

what a fucking legend

The footage is available on the Platinum edition dvd
