The animated film Jungle Book was released in 1967 and in that year The Beatles were extremely popular, so much so that the production team working on the film created the 4 vultures with their signature mop-top haircuts. The creators of the film were hoping that the band would also voice the characters and sing their song, "That's What Friends Are For".

Sadly, this plan was never executed as John Lennon didn’t want to participate. He even suggested that it’s a better idea to hire Elvis Presley. At the end, the vultures were voiced by J. Pat O’Malley, Digby Wolfe, Lord Tim Hudson, and Chad Stuart and had a Liverpool accent.
