Classic Album Review: Various Artists | Tarzan Soundtrack

This Tarzan, he lame. Me feel Cheetahed. You will too.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Me swing into local record store to buy soundtrack for Disney’s new Tarzan ’toon.

Me excited, hoping for some good monkey music — maybe The KinksApeman, The Rolling StonesI’m A Monkey, or even The DickiesYou Drive Me Ape (You Big Gorilla). What me get instead? Hairless ape Phil Collins voicing typical Disney movie treacle, full of overblown orchestral pomp and sappy pop sentiment. Even worse, disc more padded than Jane; two and three versions of some songs on same disc. Me feel Cheetahed. This Tarzan, he lame.
