"Jungle Boogie" is a funk song recorded by Kool & the Gang for their 1973 album Wild and Peaceful.[1] It scored number four as a single and became very popular in nightclubs.[2] The song's spoken main vocal was performed by the band's roadie Don Boyce. An instrumental version of the tune with an overdubbed flute part and additional percussion instruments titled "Jungle Jazz" appeared on the album Spirit of the Boogie.

"Jungle Boogie" and "Jungle Jazz" have been repeatedly sampled in subsequent popular music. For example, samples are used in EPMD's 1988 album Strictly Business, Beastie Boys' 1989 release "Hey Ladies", Madonna's 1992 top ten success "Erotica", Janet Jackson's 1994 top ten single "You Want This" and M/A/R/R/S' "Pump Up the Volume" in 1987.

The song was featured in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film, Pulp Fiction. It is used in the Xbox 360 Kinect game, Dance Central and for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 downloadable game Rock Band Blitz. 24-7 Spyz covered this song on their first album, Harder Than You.

The French performed this song in Disney's 2004 direct-to-video animated film The Lion King 1½. It was also featured on the soundtrack album for the Disney TV series That's So Raven. The Chipmunks and The Chipettes cover this song in the Limited Edition of the Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked: Music from the Motion Picture album.

The "get down, get down" part of the song's intro was featured in the American Dad! episode, "A Jones for a Smith. It plays whenever Stan Smith sees an object that he can use to score more crack cocaine (which he initially mistook for cold medicine).
