Registration Dates: DecemAugJanuary 7, 2014.ĭescription of Mark: The mark consists of the sound of the famous Tarzan yell. The sound itself is a registered trademark and service mark, owned by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. Roronoa Zoro used the Tarzan yell in One Piece, Episode 159, titled: "Onward Crow: To the Sacrificial Altar" when he swang on a vine.His Tarzan yell is first heard in Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat and later was used in DK Jungle Climber, Donkey Kong Country Returns and later in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Donkey Kong has also been known to use the Tarzan yell (although it sounds like "Ooo-wa-ooo-aaooaaooaa-ooo!").It is later reused in the 1941 Disney animated feature Dumbo and the 1941 Goofy cartoon The Art of Self Defense. In the 1935 Mickey Mouse cartoon, Mickey's Garden, a beetle (voiced by Pinto Colvig) lets out a Tarzan yell and chases after Mickey Mouse and Pluto two times.It also appears in the James Bond film Octopussy from 1983.The yell is also heard in the 2005 prequel trilogy film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith in the battle of Kashyyyk scene of the Wookiee warriors swinging on the a vine onto an attacking tank droid. A version of the yell appears in the 1983 Star Wars original trilogy film Return of the Jedi as Chewbacca swings on a vine towards an Imperial AT-ST walker on the forest moon of Endor.This sound effect is often used for comic effect in later, unrelated movies, particularly when a character is swinging on vines or doing other " Tarzanesque" things.She taught it to herself as a young girl and once taught it to opera singer Beverly Sills. Comedian Carol Burnett would do the yell on request during a question and answer weekly session on her comedy sketch series The Carol Burnett Show.A comical version of this yell is used by Ray Stevens in his 1969 novelty hit " Gitarzan".The yell is heard at Carolina Hurricanes home games.It was also used in the 1981 film Tarzan, the Ape Man, where even the MGM Lion's trademark roar had Tarzan's yell dubbed in its place. The sound clip used in the Weissmuller films has also been used for animated series appearances of Filmation's Tarzan and in the 1966 Tarzan television series starring Ron Ely, rather than having the actor providing Tarzan's voice for the series attempt to imitate the trademark yell.His version is supported by his son and by his Tarzan co-star, Maureen O'Sullivan. But Weissmuller claimed that the yell was actually his own voice. Another widely published notion concerns the use of an Austrian yodel played backwards at abnormally fast speed. Boyd (circa 1970), "Blended in with that voice are the growl of a dog, a trill sung by a soprano, a note played on a violin's G string and the howl of a hyena recorded backward." According to Bill Moyers, it was created by combining the recordings of three men: one baritone, one tenor, and one hog caller from Arkansas.

There are recordings of his recollections of creating the Tarzan yell, a story supported by his children and grandchildren.

He was an opera singer from the 1940s into the '60s, winning the Chicagoland Music Festival on August 17, 1946, and going on to sing throughout the U.S., touring with several opera companies. One claim is that a man named Lloyd Thomas Leech was the original voice behind the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tarzan yell. Although the RKO Picture version of the Tarzan yell was putatively that of Weissmuller, different stories exist as to how the Tarzan yell was created.
