“Who Wants to Live Like That?” is a song from Disney’s 1946 film Song of the South, performed by James Baskett as Uncle Remus. In the film, Uncle Remus sings this song to illustrate the carefree life of Br’er Possum, who feigns death to avoid danger. The lyrics reflect a desire to live without worries, embracing a laid-back existence.
The song is part of the film’s soundtrack, which features a blend of original compositions and traditional tunes. “Who Wants to Live Like That?” is one of the lesser-known tracks from the film, overshadowed by the more popular “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.”
