Does anyone know what this tune is called?

G,day everybody.
I've often wondered what this tune is as it plays in my mind every now and then , and was lucky enough to hear it in the background of this youtube video.

It goes from 4.01 to 4.38

Thanks for your help.

At the risk of showing my age... the tune was immediately recogisable to me.

The tune is "Baby Elephant Walk" composed by Henry Mancini for the 1962 film Hatari! It accompanies the scene where gorgeous Elsa Martinelli's character leads three baby elephants to a waterhole to bathe.


I saw the film at the cinema, a HUGE experience for me at the time, being so young.... and have seen it several times since on the teev. Great cast: John Wayne, Red Buttons, Hardy Kruger and others, as well as all those fabulous African animals.


Cheers,
Oz

I actually had a thought of Africa and elephants when i heard it too.
Thanks so much, you have helped me scratch such a nagging mental itch.
Much appreciated.
I'm going to go find that movie now and watch it too.
