Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman were hired as songwriters after Terry Gilkyson wouldn't distance himself from the "darker" side of The Jungle Book. His song "The Bare Necessities" was included in the film, and was the only song from the film to be nominated for an Academy Award. Two other songs written for the film by Gilkyson can be heard on the soundtrack CD: "Brothers All" and "The Song of the Seeonee." The wolf pack was supposed to sing a song called "The Song of The Seeonee". It ended up being cut after the story was extensively re-written and composer Terry Gilkyson's music no longer fit. The demo of the song is on the film's original soundtrack and is performed by The Mellowmen Quartet. Originally the opening music was supposed to be a song written by Terry Gilkyson called "Brother's All". Like most of Gilkyson's compositions, the song was deleted. It was replaced by the overture composed by George Bruns.
