"Jungle Drum" is the third single released from Icelandic singer-songwriter Emilíana Torrini's third album, Me and Armini.

[2][3][4] Critics received the song very warmly; Popmatters' reviewer Spencer Tricker called "Jungle Drum" the "catchiest tune" on the album (alongside "Big Jumps"), "every bit as good as the singles from Fisherman's Woman".

[5] He also praised the song for boasting "an irresistible chorus that features some totally unexpected scatting".

[6] Clickmusic reviewer Francis Jolley called the song "a sprightly, fun little gem, reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra in her heyday" and "infectious Scandinavian pop".

[7] Both Popmatters and Clickmusic reviews praised the song's rhythm section calling it impossible "to not foot tap along" to.
