Swinging With the Lord of the Jungle (Part 1) Who else but Tarzan? Also known as John Clayton II, or Viscount Greystoke, the loinclothed nobleman was a jungle swinger who settles on Jane Porter as his mate. He's also the fictional creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs, unfortunately expressing the author's support of eugenics. Yet Tarzan continues to excite the imagination. Heck, I read 12 of his books (out of 24) at age 12. Burroughs' Mars series was far better.

I talked on air about this one, but somehow it disappeared from the set. Blame it on the idiots running this show...you know, those damn producers. Maybe insert in next week's show instead?
WHAT??!! AGAIN??!! You're confused? Me too. Another lost song which, unfortunately, I discuss in my back announcements. Now I'm thoroughly disgusted. I think the gaffer is collaborating with the producers to sabotage me. Or it may be those Haitians in Springfield eating the tracks.
