Immediately leaping to mind is the truly kid-friendly "Jungle" by Electric 
Light Orchestra, from OUT OF THE BLUE.  It is one of their most bubblegummy 
tracks.  Earle Mankey did a tune called "Mau Mau", there's "Safari" by The 
Breeders (maybe not kid fare, but a very cool song), CCR's "Run Through The 
Jungle", Ray Stevens' "Gitarzan", The Specials' "Monkey Man" (I think 
originally Toots and the Maytals), The Dickies' "You Drive Me Ape (You Big 
Gorilla)", and many others I'm sure.  But you can't miss with the ELO tune.
