The Bare Necessities - Bowling for Soup

Although BOWLING FOR SOUP formed in 1994 in Wichita City, Texas, it wasn't until 1998 when the band sold 10,000 copies of their indie release TELL ME WHEN TO WOAH!!! that the major labels sat up and listened to the punk rockers.

Bowling for Soup has gone on to release many great albums, including a couple of cover albums. In 2004, the band released A HANGOVER YOU DON'T DESERVE which made it to the top 40 largely due to the hit single 1985. When Disney was looking for artists to be on DISNEYMANIA 3, Bowling for Soup would have been an obvious choice.

This cover of Bare Necessities isn't Bowling for Soup's only connection to Disney. They also wrote and performed the theme song to Phineas and Ferb.

Today is TERRY GILKYSON'S birthday and, if he were still alive, he would be 92. Terry, a guitarist for the bands X and Austin, is most known for being the composer of The Bare Necessities.
