Baltimora were a new wave dance act from Italy who found success with their 1985 hit single “Tarzan Boy”. With its catchy ‘Tarzan-call’ running throughout, the song became a disco standard.
A few years later, “Tarzan Boy” returned to the chart for three more months after being featured on the soundtrack of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and on a popular commercial for Listerine mouthwash.

Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m far away from nowhere
On my own like Tarzan boy
I play along while rushing ‘cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon
I’m living in the open
Native beat that carries on
A fire blows the signal to the sky
I sit and wonder, does the message get to you?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
