Jungle life
I'm far away from nowhere
On my own like Tarzan Boy
Hide and seek
I play along while rushing cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon
Jungle life
I'm living in the open

Burning bright
A fire the blows the signal to the sky
I sit and wonder does the message get to you

The lyrics to Baltimore's song "Tarzan Boy" describe a metaphorical journey into the jungle, where the singer lives alone like Tarzan boy, enjoying monkey business and running through the forest. The jungle life is depicted as being far away from all the hassles of modern life, where the only concern is survival. The use of the phrase "native beat that carries on" seems to suggest that the singer is escaping to a simpler way of living.
The chorus, "Night to night, gimme the other, gimme the other chance tonight," is a call for adventure, asking for the unknown and embracing the thrill of the unknown. This could be interpreted as a call to life or a yearning for the thrill of new experiences.
The repeated "oh-oh-oh" is a chant-like, primal sound that reinforces the theme of escape and the frenzied chaos of jungle life. The song's overall message seems to be one of liberation, urging us to break free from life's shackles and live a more adventurous and carefree existence.

@80sMusicHits-189
I was less than 10 years old when I first heard this speechless wonderful piece of music! It's 2024 and still enjoy listening to this Soft Rock music. Every time I listen to it, it reminds me of my childhood! Is anyone out there with me?
@TIGERZY2K
RIP Jimmy McShane the vocalist of Italian band Baltimora.Tarzan Boy would always be remembered as one of biggest hits of 80s.

@RocStarr913
Jimmy McShane was a frontman like Milli Vanilli had. The actual singer was the producer/songwriter Maurizio Bassi.
@joseperalta9635
Excelente información no sabia que la banda era italiana
@perchthecabbie
@@RocStarr913 Not entirely like Milli Vanilli... McShane was an actual member of the musical act and did contribute. He provided some backing vocals and even wrote the lyrics to their track "Survivor in Love".
