This song is taken from the soundtrack of The Jungle Book, the Disney Studios animated feature film released in 1967. Its original title is That's What Friends Are For. Initially, the voices of the quartet of vultures who perform it were to be those of the Beatles, in a rock and roll style. But John Lennon refused, so Disney Studios kept the project only in the hairstyles of the vultures, vaguely reminiscent of those of the Beatles, and opted for another musical style: the Barbershop.
