Tarzan yell

==Other Tarzan yells==
The first ever version of the yell can be found in the part-sound serial ''[[Tarzan the Tiger]]'' ([[1929 in film|1929]]).  This version is described as a "Nee-Yah!" noise.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.erbzine.com/mag5/0593.html |title=Tarzan the Tiger (1929) |work=ERBzine |volume=0593 |first=Bill & Sue-On |last=Hillman}}</ref>

In the [[1932 in radio|1932]] Tarzan [[Serial (radio and television)|radio serial]] with [[James Pierce]], the yell sounds like "Taaar-maan-ganiii". In the [[Mangani|ape language]] mentioned in the Tarzan novels, "Tarmangani" means "White Ape".<ref name=ERBz1482 /> In the 1930s films,
[[Jane Porter (Tarzan)|Jane]] (as portrayed by [[Maureen O'Sullivan]]) used her own variation of the Tarzan yell.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soundandthefoley.com/2013/06/05/that-other-jungle-sound-fixed/|title=That Other Jungle Sound (Fixed) – The Sound and the Foley|date=5 June 2013}}</ref>

A very similar cry was used for Burroughs' own Tarzan film, ''[[The New Adventures of Tarzan]]'' ([[1935 in film|1935]]), shot concurrently with the [[MGM]] Weissmuller movies in [[Central America]] with [[Bruce Bennett|Herman Brix]] as a cultured Tarzan.  The yell can best be described as a "Mmmmm-ann-gann-niii" sound that gradually rises ever higher in pitch.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.erbzine.com/mag5/0584.html |title=New Adventures of Tarzan (1935) |work=ERBzine |volume=0584 |first=Bill & Sue-On |last=Hillman}}</ref>

[[Elmo Lincoln]] recreated his victory cry in a 1952 episode of ''[[You Asked for It]]''.<ref>{{YouTube|id=nL642ldL7O8|title=The first ever Tarzan yell}}</ref>

Tarzan's yell is used as a melodic refrain in the [[Baltimora]] single ''[[Tarzan Boy]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-rDXAA1nQ4 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/Z-rDXAA1nQ4 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Tarzan Boy 42 minute loop|last=Howard Hsu|date=1 March 2013|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> This refrain plays in place of an ordinary Tarzan yell when Haru climbs and struggles to keep his balance on the top of a palm tree in ''[[Beverly Hills Ninja]]''. The refrain was also used in a 1993 jungle-themed advert for Listerine's Cool Mint mouthwash.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKx5uT8px8U |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/tKx5uT8px8U |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Cool Mint Listerine Tarzan Ad|last=jsrambler|date=10 October 2006|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In the 1991 TV series ''[[Land of the Lost (1991 TV series)|Land of the Lost]]'', Christa (played by [[Shannon Day]]) used a similar sounding version of the yell that was used to calm certain animals.
