No not another thing that went wrong. No
its Tarzan's jungle call.
"Aaaheeaaheeaahaaeehaaeehaa"
The most famous patented Tarzan jungle call
was by Johnny Weismüller.
This Saturday, June 2nd, is Johnny
Weissmüller's birthday.
With our Tarzan Party we pay homage to this
great man.
Johnny Weissmuller (born Janos Weißmüller; June 2, 1904 – January
20, 1984 ) was an Austrian-Hungarian-born
American swimmer and actor best known for playing Tarzan in movies. Weissmuller
was one of the world's best swimmers in the 1920s, winning five Olympic gold
medals and one bronze medal. He won fifty-two US National Championships and set
sixty-seven world records. After his swimming career, he became the sixth actor
to portray Edgar Rice Burroughs's ape man Tarzan in films, a role he played in
twelve motion pictures. Dozens of other actors have also played Tarzan, but
Weissmuller is by far the best known. His character's distinctive, ululating
Tarzan yell is still often used in films.
At his request, a recording of his famous
Tarzan yell was played at his funeral as they lowered his coffin into the
ground
