OH-IIH-OH-IIH-OOOOH-IIH-OH-IIH-OOOOH


You guessed it, it's a compilation of songs about Tarzan.

The famous Tarzan yell has been featured in several songs, one of the earliest that I known of is found at the opening of "See You Soon Baboon" by Dale Hawkins on Checker in 1958. (not included here).

The origin of the iconic Tarzan yell, first heard in 1932’s Tarzan the Ape Man, has been the subject of much debate over the past. And yet no one could say for sure how the yell originated or who was responsible for it.  Captivating mystery, isn'it?

  1. Re: >> The famous Tarzan yell has been featured in several songs, one of the earliest that I known of is found at the opening of "See You Soon Baboon" by Dale Hawkins on Checker in 1958. << Doesn't "Ape Call" by Nervous Norvus (1956) qualify?
