Now I'm the king of the swingers Oh, the jungle VIP I've reached the top and had to stop And that's what's botherin' me I wanna be a man, mancub And stroll right into town And be just like those other men I'm tired of monkeyin' around! Oh, oobee doo I wanna be like you I wanna walk like you Talk like you, too You'll see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human too Now don't try to kid me, mancub I made a deal with you What I desire was man's red fire To make my dreams come true Now give me the secret, mancub Come on, clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower So I can be like you Oh, oobee doo I wanna be like you I wanna walk like you Talk like you, too You'll see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human too Yeah you!

I keep vacillating between this and Crush and Haze (and also the cover of Your Life Over Mine) as my favorite, and seeing all their different styles and how amazing they all are and I can't help but be amazed that the world is blessed with such a talented person.
i dont know why, but everything from this video feels perfect, every scene, every change in the music.... its perfect. Just play it a thousand times and be happy!
There is SO MUCH amazingness going on here. The jungle VIP section is just F'ing badass. And when you guys pop up at the end of Rusty's awesome trumpet solo...hilarious. The Sidwell of it all. Your voice, as always, matched with all the personality you inject into everything.Finally, best arrangement of this song ever. Only version I've ever liked. And I LOVE this version.
Strangely, this has become my absolute all-time favorite song. It's totally different from anything I normally like, but between your amazing singing and how expressive you are in the video, I've become absolutely addicted to this. You're my new favorite artist Tessa.
I've actually lost track of how many years I've been subscribed to your channel, and you still make me smile with glee. Thanks for all the whimsy Tessa!
Tessa, You vibrant creature. you are the most cutest, I love your soft voice and i loved the work that went into making this video. thank you for making it, i REALLY LOVE THIS SONG. you just made it that much better. thank you so much for creating. don't ever change
Really good cover. A lot of people have covered this song over the years, but this is maybe the most happiest most joyful cover I have heard beside the original arrangement.
Oh my gosh this is SO FUN!! I can really see your playful spirit shine through in this and that's what I've always loved the most about you, Tessa. :-) Great job!!!
Her songs can be played in cozy cafes in the cold winter, sitting in a knitted sweater drinking chocolate latte and eating fresh hot cooked oatmeal cookies))
As a kid I loved this song. We would play the vinyl LP over and over. LPs where 33rpm but it got even better on 45rpm, on the 75rpm setting it was hysterical.
This is brilliant! As a kid I play the Jungle Book soundtrack record endlessly, and this was always my favorite song, this is a brilliant reimagining of that classic. Really well done.
I don't usually comment, but now I feel I have to. Tessa, this is perfect. Your interpretation of this song just melts my heart (especially low inflections). That's all, thank you. Greetings from Poland 💕
This is so amazing. This Song makes me so happy but i didn't even know why. But now i finish this secret and omg its from "The Jungle Book" its amazing. Hearing it every time on my bike by a beautiful ride!
This is beautiful. Looks normal, relaxed and generally just very nice. Her videos are down to earth which I like. Also the uke at the beginning made me smile a little, loved it.
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/misc_cartoons/jungle_book_-_i_wanna_be_like_you_ver2_ukulele_crd.htm transpose this up five steps and you'll get the chords she uses here
Hey Disney, this is my formal request for this to be featured in the new live-action Jungle Book. Let's be real, the Fall Out Boy version is a'ite, but this next level.
Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh The jungle VIP I've reached the top and had to stop And that's what botherin' me I wanna be a man, mancub And stroll right into town And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeyin' around! Oh, oobee doo I wanna be like you I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too You'll see it's true someone like me Can learn to be like someone like you Now don't try to kid me, mancub I'll make a deal with you What I desire is man's red fire To make my dream come true Now, give me the secret, mancub Come on, clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower So I can be like you Oh, oobee doo I wanna be like you I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too You'll see it's true someone like me Can learn to be like someone like you Now you might think it's ridiculous That me, a gigantipithicus Would ever dream I'd like to team With the likes of you, mancub But together, we'd have powers All the jungle's treasures, ours I got desire, you got the fire But the dream I dream takes two So, ooh, I wanna be like you I wanna use that flame just the same you can do Oh, how magnificus it would be A gigantipithicus like me Could learn to do like you humans do Can learn to be like someone like you Can learn to be like someone like me

Rusty playing the trumpet is my new favorite thing
Every time I see/hear Rusty playing that trumpet I'm so impressed. It's just an instrument you never really see anymore. Awesome cover, Tessa!
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire was man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
Now give me the secret, mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Yeah you!
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be
Human too
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
I keep vacillating between this and Crush and Haze (and also the cover of Your Life Over Mine) as my favorite, and seeing all their different styles and how amazing they all are and I can't help but be amazed that the world is blessed with such a talented person.
I'm loving what you're serving right now. Continue on this plz.
😏😎
Yes, please!
+Petar The First wtf
Loved this! The mix of cute and darker bits (where I loved the lighying btw) was unexpected but works so well.
Teehee
i dont know why, but everything from this video feels perfect, every scene, every change in the music.... its perfect. Just play it a thousand times and be happy!
Rusty and Jake on the couch had me dying.
There is SO MUCH amazingness going on here. The jungle VIP section is just F'ing badass. And when you guys pop up at the end of Rusty's awesome trumpet solo...hilarious. The Sidwell of it all. Your voice, as always, matched with all the personality you inject into everything.Finally, best arrangement of this song ever. Only version I've ever liked. And I LOVE this version.
Super metal record dude!
Rusty KILLED IT with that trumpet solo!!!
my favorite thing about this is how vaguely terrifying it is
I showed this to my mom and she said "I like it but they seem so soulless"
considering the lyrics it's like they want to be like tessa-monkey and they lose their soul?
or am I overthinking it
@@ploopybear its from the jungle book. the monkeys kidnapped the man-cub, threatening him to tell them what the humans did to create fire.
Strangely, this has become my absolute all-time favorite song. It's totally different from anything I normally like, but between your amazing singing and how expressive you are in the video, I've become absolutely addicted to this. You're my new favorite artist Tessa.
I have missed this. this stye of silly filmmaking is my favorite!
UNEXPECTED JAKE SIDWELL
SURPRISE RUSTY TRUMPETER
THIS VIDEO HAS IT ALL
+Gumdrop & Auntie AND ALL FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF FRIENDSHIP.

I'm watching this for the 5th time, TESSA!!! The cover, the montage, the color correction, the moves, everythiiiiiing

@@tessaviolet Heavily influenced by Mowgli and Rudyard Kipling?
Да, тоже нравился Маугли, мульт детства, а в исполнении Императрицы еще лучше заходит эта божественная музыка.
This has become one of my favourite videos to watch and tracks to listen to - I've come back to this video so often lately! Great job, Tessa :)
Simply my favorite song in this mounth, i literally hear it every day, im in love with your voice, wanting for more songs!
Her songs can be played in cozy cafes in the cold winter, sitting in a knitted sweater drinking chocolate latte and eating fresh hot cooked oatmeal cookies))
I laughed a little too much at the red butt on the monkey suit, confirming I am for sure 11 years old. hahaha
Great video y'all!
Josh Fletcher same here
That's my favorite song and video on UA-cam. I can't stop watching it.
Made almost two years ago. Still one of my favorite videos Tessa has ever posted.
This has been stuck in my head for weeks. What have you done to me, Tessa!?!?
P.S. thank you for whatever you did to me.
Why am I only seeing this on the 31st of December 2019?
Cause it's too cute for 2020
I am seeing it too,😀
Desember 2020 :v
To this day I listen to this, a whole vibe
As a kid I loved this song. We would play the vinyl LP over and over. LPs where 33rpm but it got even better on 45rpm, on the 75rpm setting it was hysterical.
Way to underrated. Needs more views.
Tesssaaaa this is the most phenomenal video. I'm gonna put this on loop whenever I'm having a bad day. Jake and Rusty are hilarious too. :)
Okay this was adorable! Absolutely loved this! Really liking your video's lately, all the talky one's a music ones!
This is brilliant! As a kid I play the Jungle Book soundtrack record endlessly, and this was always my favorite song, this is a brilliant reimagining of that classic. Really well done.
I can't believe this is the first time I'm seeing this. This is an amazing cover.
This is so flippin high quality
This is so sweet and pure
I can't stop listening to this song it's so good
Not gonna lie, kind of obsessed with this cover.

IM OBSESSED
Can't stop listening this, Soooo goooooood, Production, acting, voice, Love it!!
I don't usually comment, but now I feel I have to. Tessa, this is perfect. Your interpretation of this song just melts my heart (especially low inflections). That's all, thank you.
Greetings from Poland 💕

20th time I've watched this now haha
+ImTheKillaMonster same
This is beautiful. Looks normal, relaxed and generally just very nice. Her videos are down to earth which I like. Also the uke at the beginning made me smile a little, loved it.
I can't stop listening to this, it's so good!
Want this Tessa back
As a life long Disney fanatic I want to ask you: Did you have any idea how perfect this is while you were making it? You made magic, Tessa. MAGIC!
So relaxing and so great.
I've been watching you since Vlogvetica and I absolutely still love your content. You're so genuine and I love it. Please keep it up 💕
Hey Tessa I'm a fellow ukulele player and I was wonder could you give me/post the chords for this song on ukulele?
Yes please it's driving me crazy I can't figure it out
Gonna comment so i get notified if she replies and tells us hehe
^same lmao
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/misc_cartoons/jungle_book_-_i_wanna_be_like_you_ver2_ukulele_crd.htm transpose this up five steps and you'll get the chords she uses here
Hey Disney, this is my formal request for this to be featured in the new live-action Jungle Book. Let's be real, the Fall Out Boy version is a'ite, but this next level.
First video I've see of Tessa and still listening. Loved the show in Amsterdam at the Melkweg 😁
Huge smile every time I watch this
Здрасте госпожа.
COVER OF EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT PLZ EVEN IF IT'S NOT YOUR STYLE YOU CAN TOTALLY MAKE IT MORE MELLOW OR WHATEVER AND IT WOULD SOUND REALLY COOL
This is amazing I'm playing this on my cello for orchestra
But this is phenomenal
CHILL SONG SO COOL
Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh
The jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You'll see it's true someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like you
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I'll make a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Now, give me the secret, mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You'll see it's true someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like you
Now you might think it's ridiculous
That me, a gigantipithicus
Would ever dream I'd like to team
With the likes of you, mancub
But together, we'd have powers
All the jungle's treasures, ours
I got desire, you got the fire
But the dream I dream takes two
So, ooh, I wanna be like you
I wanna use that flame just the same you can do
Oh, how magnificus it would be
A gigantipithicus like me
Could learn to do like you humans do
Can learn to be like someone like you
Can learn to be like someone like me
You should go on top man
Просто по Славянске, императрица😍
This is getting me so pumped for the Jungle Book live action! I can't wait!!
I lovvvvv thissss
