I Wanna Be Like M-O-You is a song sung by King Larry and Mickey Mouse in the House of Mouse episode "King Larry Swings In". In this episode, King Louie's identical twin brother, King Larry, comes as a guest to the House of Mouse and starts wrecking it. Mickey finally convinces him to learn to behave himself, learning that all that Larry wanted was to be like him, similar to how his brother wants to be like humans. Since Larry had chased away the club's scheduled musical act, the gang was without one. King Larry suggests that he and Mickey perform together to replace them. As King Larry is a parody of King Louie, his song is a parody of Louie's song, I Wanna Be Like You.
Lyrics
[Larry (with echoes by some Jungle Book monkeys]
Now I may be the king of the jungle but, around here I've been a fool.
I dig the Mouse that gigs in this House, I wish I could be so cool.
Oh, MM, what's your secret? How ya done it all these years?
Tell me the scoop, put me in the loop; Hey, Mickey! I'm all ears!
Oh, Mickey, ooh! (M-I-C!) I wanna be like M-O-You! (K-E-Y!)
I wanna sing like you, (ooh!) swing like you, (ooh!) too-oo-oo. (Why, because o' why?)
Mickey, it's tru-uu-uue. (M-O-U-S-E!) A monkey like me-ee-ee (M-O-N-K-E-Y!)
Wants to learn to be, like that mouse, Mickey, yeah!
