24: The Bear Necessities !

The Bear necessities is one of my favorite songs. It’s from the movie The Jungle Book. It’s also the first movie I have seen in the theater.

In this song Bhaloo the bear teaches Mougli new tips and tricks to survive in the jungle. It teaches him to be happy go lucky now that it likes to be both friends with him and also his teacher. Kind of how I like my mentors and teachers.

I’m curious to know why they refer to the basic needs as the bear necessities! Been thinking that it comes from a different google source. Books and google are my best resources to explore this. I know I diverged into a tangential topic, so I’m not elaborating on that thought.

  1. I like the song a lot too. When I was your age, our Mohan uncle bought us a VHS tape of the Jungle book movie, and mom and I used to watch it so many times. Ask mom if she remembers.

    I think the bear necessities is a homophone for bare necessities.

    1. Cool, that’s my next post,lol. I’m liking our musings together, you think like me . Lol.
