Ray Stevens is one of the most creative and talented people in the country. His Gitarzan is a masterful composition. In the song the monkey does a boogie woogie bass line. Gitarzan does the Tarzan yodel IN TUNE to the accompaniment of some bluesy 7th chords. Jane does her soulful "Baby!" and they are all done separately. At the end they all come together in a blended performance which is really funky.

I can't fault that at all.

Ray Stevens is a country & pop singer-songwriter & comedian known for his novelty hits such as "Gitarzan", "Ahab The Arab", "Along Came Jones", "The Streak" and others. But he also did a few serious songs such as "Misty" & "Everything Is Beautiful" which he won a Grammy for in 1970. Home Free recently did a fun cover of this song "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival".

I love everything that Ray Stevens did. His songs are so clever, and he picked up on some of the social events of the time. The Streak was written in maybe 1973-74, and it was a thing. Someone streaked on the Academy Awards show that was not planned. Someone I graduated with who had a scholarship at Memphis State to play football got caught streaking, and he was on the Johnny Carson show for it. Others are "It's Me Again, Margaret", "Ahab the Arab", "Along Came Jones", "The Haircut Song", "The Shriner's Convention", "Sitting Up With the Dead" and a gazillion more worth listening too.

Love Ray Stevens, in his hay day he was one of a kind, his song The Streak was about an actual social trend that lasted for a couple of years, where we as teens and young adults dared each other to Streak. Streaking involved stripping off all your clothes and running through some public place in the buff. Some fella actually ran across a football field during a pro game on national TV. I'm sure yt has a clip of it somewhere. In todays climate some of his songs would never be played commercially anymore. Like Ahab the Arab, his song Everything Is Beautiful is a lovely song.
