AlunaGeorge flaunt a contemporary woozy R&B sound on luscious cuts like "Attracting Flies," but the Brit duo experiment in lounge-y waters on a new cover of classic Disney flick The Jungle Book's "I Wanna Be Like You."
Performed during a recent BBC session, the track scales down the brass bombast and booming vocals of Louis Prima's original in favour of cheesily swung jazz-lounge keyboards and Aluna Francis' muted ooby-doos. While not as riotous as the original, nor as lush as the group's own material, the nostalgic run-through might still get you pumped up enough to toss on a grass skirt and coconut muzzle, and bounce your booty like our boy Baloo.
As previously reported, AlunaGeorge's Body Music arrives July 1.
