Check out this Jungle Book cover of Trust In Me by glam-post-punk rock band SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES.
I have never heard of this band before but upon doing some research, it looks like they has a very successful career in the UK and recorded eleven albums! The album you can find Trust In Me is a cover album released in 1987 called THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. You can find covers of everyone from Billy Holiday, Iggy Pop, the Doors, Sparks and Kraftwerk!
So far I have only heard this one track but their style seems to really work! It has a great feel and very creative uses of the harp! I think it would be more likely for me to by hypnotized by the singing in this version rather than the Sterling Holloway original.
Siouxsie & the Banshees were active from 1976-1996 but the lead singer, Siouxsie Sioux, is still releasing albums! In fact one came out last month!
Over the years, many musical artists have paid tribute to the music of Disney. This blog pays tribute to those artists.
You won't find any original Disney songs here, these are all covers, interpretations and variations on the tunes we all love.
