Re: George Of The Jungle
Eh. The George of the Jungle cover doesn't really excite me. Quite skippable. 2 out of 5 stars.

Re: George Of The Jungle
It's decent. Weird Al's voice is very suitable for this version of the theme song. It's definitely not one of his best, but it's not that bad. <3

Re: George Of The Jungle
This song just came up on my iPod and I went all "hmm... I wonder what's the deal with this". Google search brought me right to this topic, and while I'm sad to see nobody knows (other than "it's just a straight cover"), it's comforting to know we've been all asking the same question for almost 15 years.

Re: George Of The Jungle
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it was because the record company mandated a cover, as well as a Cindi Lauper parody (and in protest he made Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch deliberately bad).
Love and peace.

Re: George Of The Jungle
What do you mean by "what's the deal with this"? I feel like I know the deal. Basically what Sappho said.

Re: George Of The Jungle
According to the backer's update for the PledgeMusic, Bill Scott did the "Tarzan-like" yell for this song.
Does anyone know if Mr. Scott did a *new* vocal recording? Or was it an archived recording from the original series?
