who wrote it's a jungle out there
It's a Jungle Out There (song) "It's a Jungle Out There" is a song written by Randy Newman and used as the theme song for the TV series Monk starting in its second season. In 2004, it won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music. As the first season's theme song "Monk Theme" had won the same award the previous year, Monk became the first series to have two different theme songs win an Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music in consecutive years.[1]
The Bare Necessities "The Bare Necessities" is a song, written by Terry Gilkyson,[1] from the animated 1967 Disney film The Jungle Book, sung by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli.[2] Originally, it was written for an earlier draft of the movie that was never produced.[3] 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 Bagheera and 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.[4] The song was also sung by Louis Armstrong. In 1967, "The Bare Necessities" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.[5] A hip-hop version of the song performed by Lou Rawls was used as the theme song for Jungle Cubs.[6]
