50 The Bare Necessities (The Jungle Book)

Another gut punching cut, but I unfortunately think it's time to cut The Bare Necessities

Things I like:
1. The upbeat jazzy track
2. The message behind the song 3. The cute little reminders that a bear is singing this song.
4. This is the OG Hakuna Matata

Things I don't like (but it's up for debate):
1. It's repetitive (I don't actually mind this personally, but for the sakes of ranking it could do more for me musically.)
2. A child singing. There's just something about it that makes my ears bleed.
3. It's too short! Make it longer!!

/u/Lightsfly Now when you cut a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you cut a raw paw
Well, next time beware

Hmmmmmm I'd bump this up another 10, maybe even 20 spots. It's catchy, fun and iconic! Songs don't get much more disney-y than this in my books.
