Tarzan Boy" is a 1985 Italo disco song recorded by Italy-based act Baltimore. It was the group's debut single, released in April 1985, from its first album Living in the Background, on which it features as first track. The song was re-recorded in 1993 and was covered by several artists throughout the years.
The refrain uses Tarzan's cry as a melodic line. The song is rhythmical, with an electronic melody and a simple text in the English-language.[1]
The song is best known in the United States for the use of its refrain in early 1990s commercials for Cool Mint Listerine.
The song was re-recorded in the '90s for two films: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III[2] and Beverly Hills Ninja.
The song featured in the story-line of an episode of the BBC detective series New Tricks entitled A Face for Radio.
"Tarzan Boy", released in the summer of 1985, was a huge success, debuting in the top 5 of the Italian charts and performing well in many other European countries, including Denmark, Germany, and The Netherlands. "Tarzan Boy" found its great success in France, where it topped the chart for five consecutive weeks. In the United Kingdom, it reached #3 in August 1985. The single had similar success in the United States (where it was released on EMI), with the single remaining on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six months and ultimately peaking at #13 in the early spring of 1986. Baltimora performed on the American TV show Solid Gold, which helped further their success in America.
