RIP Steve Harwell

[@slightly4374]

Grew up listening to this cd and loving this song!! Now I would say Fall out boy’s cover is my favorite but this one’s still most nostalgic 🥰

[@gabe_s_videos]

DJ scratches in rock music are one of those things that I acknowledge went out of style something fierce and yet I unironically love with all my heart.

More than a month after his death, I discovered this for the first time as well. This has always been one of my favorite Disney songs.

[@treasures_untold_vlogs]

@@SonofTuscon99 😔😔🙏🏼

[@BrianSmith-jx7td]

​@@SonofTuscon99 I grew Up with Disney Mania so this was something I had since childhood, Disney did a sequel to The Jungle Book that was The Jungle Book 2 and King Louis didn't appear in the movie because of a copyright that was in place because of the widow of the original actor and singer who played in the original movie, They did feature this song in the credits though and it was so awesome to hear it for the first time.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

I can imagine Marshall Lee singing that version!

I'm not afraid to admit this, but I was in fifth grade when this album came out, and we had a small talent show, and I sang this song for karaoke.

Best cover. HANDS DOWN!

[@pixie6603]

I have this song on my Jungle Book 2 DVD! I think this my favorite version (besides the original of course).

The Jungle Book 2 brought me here. I still remember seeing this in theaters as a kid. Despite it’s cheesiness (looking back on it as an adult) it’s still one of my favorite Disney sequels. PS I notice that a lot of people are saying that this version is better than the Jonas Brothers’ version. While I can agree with that, I think they’re both good just in their own way

[@iandanielcassidy8126]

I like The Jungle Book 2 ever since I was toddler ages back in 2003. Born on September 23rd, 1997.

This Smash Mouth version of this jungle book song should have a drum covering video

[@MrWii000]

I learned last month that Steve Harwell has retired after his last performance with Smash Mouth. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that I found this out in the news by accident considering that we never hear about anything from Smash Mouth anymore (let alone any of their new songs).

[@RB01.10]

And now he sadly passed away:( That’s why I’m here

The Jungle Book 2 turns 20 on February 14, 2023.

[@ToonJoey34]

Smash Mouth did an awesome job, but I am unsure about how Christopher Walken would do it. My opinion: Steven Tyler should've been picked to voice Louie for the remake.

[@gabe_s_videos]

I never saw the new version, but honestly, Steven Tyler covering this song should just happen.

[@VCJunkie]

Even though I think Christopher Walken did a really good job in the remake, Steven Tyler would make so much sense. His vocal range is really close to Louie Prima’s.

[@ToonJoey34]

@@VCJunkie That's exactly why I thought Steven Tyler.

[@jonmeyer3076]

+Travis Thunderpaw Yep sure was.

[@matthewmoran5297]

+Travis Thunderpaw I saw the sequel. I was thoroughly disappointed by it. Then again, I shouldn't expect much from Disneytoon studios. The only decent movies they seem to have made are the Winnie the Pooh continuation films, and Aladdin And The King Of Thieves. Oh, and The Lion King sequels.

[@jonmeyer3076]

Matthew Moran Maybe if the 2016 live action Jungle Book is a huge hit i can write a script for an animated Jungle Book TV show for the Disney Junior channel and it'd be an educational show and take place after the events of The Jungle Book 2.

[@321SPONGEBOLT]

+Matthew Moran Those are all Disney Animation Studios movies. Plus, there are also better Disney Animation Studios sequels like the "Toy Story" sequels (Pixar), "Monsters University" (Pixar), "The Rescuers Down Under" (Disney), "101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure" (Disney), and even "Planes 2: Fire and Rescue" (Disney/Pixar/Disneytoon Studios)
