Johnny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a girl and she's so fine (yeah)
Make me want to swing from a grapevine
(ain't that strange?)
she doesn't know what a thing she's causing
Got me running round, wanna holler like Tarzan
Here's what I say
So fine
Get on down baby
She's got a cheat, you know you can't beat her
She ain't worrying about there being no cheater
She walks the streets, all the cars start pausing
And all the fellas that are driving start hollering like Tarzan
Owaowhaowhaohwa outlaw
So fine
Get on, get on baby
Get crazy
Get out of the way
Wanna holler like Tarzan
She's got a cheat, you know you can't beat her
She ain't worrying about there being no cheater
When she starts walking, all the fellas start pausing
And all get together and start hollering like Tarzan
Owaowhaowhaohwa outlaw
So fine
At first glance, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson's song Tarzan appears to be a simple tune about a girl who drives men crazy with her beauty. However, upon closer inspection, the song speaks to the concept of objectifying women and the animalistic behavior it inspires in men. The lyrics depict the singer as a man so enraptured by this woman that he compares himself to Tarzan, a fictional character known for his brute strength and primal instincts. In this context, the "cheat" the woman possesses is her beauty, which she wields with such power that it reduces men to their primal instincts, resulting in them hollering like animals. The chorus, consisting of the repeated phrase "Owaowhaowhaohwa outlaw, So fine," reinforces the idea that the woman is both desirable and unattainable, as an outlaw would be.

One of my favorites as a kid. These WW2 films were played often on TV in the 70s. Go Tarzan.

If you want adventure, this is a film! Tarzan's contribution to the US effort in World War II. The script is very good, it has dramatic moments and other funny ones. The story begins with Boy in grave danger. The interaction of the Cheetah and the elephant is perfect, other animals are beautiful too. The beautiful soundtrack helps a lot in times of tension. Jane's absence is duly explained. Tarzan makes a pacifist speech against the war. Frances Gifford (Zandra) looks beautiful, although she looks more like a comic book character than a jungle character. The explanation is that she lives in Palandria, a lost city, rich in minerals, which justifies and gives meaning to the presence of Nazis in this haven of peace. Aerial shots also match the needs of the characters. Nothing is free. The most dramatic sequences follow one another quickly and arrest the viewer. He always wins the strongest, says one of the Nazis after watching the fight between two beasts. But the episode has an ironic side and serves to show the ridiculous, cruel, ungrateful, calculating and treacherous side of militarized men in the service of the worst in humanity, as Reich soldiers never rest. The message is alarming: if Nazism wins the war, several peoples will be enslaved. The ending is priceless!
