Voodoo Glow Skulls recorded a ska version of the song for the 2002 Japanese-exclusive album Dive into Disney.

The band later released the song on their 1999 album This Beautiful Life.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy did a cover of the song on the Swingers soundtrack, even though the song does not appear in the film.

On 5 April 1994 Phish performed a truly Phish-styled version at The Metropolis Concert Hall in Montreal, Quebec.

On the 1990 collection Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films, the song appears on "Medley Two" as recorded by Los Lobos, who play the song occasionally in their live shows.Pinky and Perky recorded a version for their Film Parade album in 1970 and also released the song as a single.Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen released a single of "I Wanna Be like You" (without an apostrophe in the title) in 1968 and it also featured on their 1969 album King of the Swingers.The song was released the same date as the motion picture itself. Louis Prima recorded first, with the intent that Baloo-played in his recording by Butera-would simply repeat what Louie scatted, but Phil Harris decided not to imitate Prima's recording and made up his own.

That's the idea, we'll make him a jazz man." After suggesting that Louis Prima could play the part of King Louie, Walt Disney Records president Jimmy Johnson and music director Tutti Camarata asked the Sherman brothers to fly to Las Vegas and perform the song for Prima. He added that "when we first got an idea for 'I Wan'na Be Like You,' we said an ape swings from a tree, and he's the king of apes. Working with concept art of what the monkeys would look like, Richard Sherman said he and his brother aimed for a jazz sound, with a Dixieland-like melody.
