13 Best Scenes From 2016's Summer Blockbusters

6. Christopher Walken Sings "I Wanna Be Like You" (The Jungle Book)

The Scene: Mowgli (Neel Sethi) meets up with oversized orangutan King Louie (Christopher Walken), who vows to protect Mowgli if he teaches him the secret of the "red flower" (aka fire).

Cue Louie trying to cut a deal with Mowgli by singing the iconic "I Wanna Be Like You" number from the original animated movie.

Why It's Awesome: For one, the visual effects are mind-blowingly good, but more importantly, it's Christopher freaking Walken singing one of the best-loved movie songs of all time, and totally hurling himself 110% into the performance.

Hell, Walken even mimics ape-kind mid-song by singing "I wanna be like you-ooh-ooh". Even though the songs are arguably a little unnecessary in this remake, it's easy to forget that when they're performed so brilliantly.
