Baltimora - Tarzan Boy, Vocal Cover by @carminasalazarte (Hive Open Mic # 119) [ENG/ESP]

Hello everyone! Today I bring you a new cover quite cheerful and that surely many of you will know, it is the song of the Italian group Baltimora with their hit, Tarzan Boy. I think it is one of the most iconic songs of the eighties for its catchy rhythm, simple and funny lyrics and a quite unforgettable video clip where we see a young McShane, dressed as Tarzan.

This time I will be doing a different interpretation because although the song talks about a man living a happy and fulfilling life in the jungle, like Tarzan, I wanted to change the boy for the girl, obviously referring to me. Which I found very funny because I didn't think it would match so well. We also made some edits to the voice to make it sound more eighties style, but without overdoing it, otherwise my voice would be lost.

For the video I also decided to look for a similar outfit. Although I didn't have anything really "wild", I opted for a woven shirt, big earrings, an updo and a pretty colorful makeup. I wanted to pay homage to that era. Without further ado, I leave you with the video. I hope you enjoy it and thank you very much for stopping by. A big hug.

¡Hola a todos! El día de hoy les traigo un nuevo cover bastante alegre y que de seguro muchos de ustedes conocerán, se trata pues de la canción del grupo italiano Baltimora con su éxito, Tarzán Boy. Creo que es una de las canciones más icónicas de los años ochenta por su ritmo pegadizo, letra sencilla y divertido y un videoclip bastante inolvidable dónde vemos a un joven McShane, vestido como Tarzán.

Está vez estaré haciendo una interpretación diferente ya que aunque la canción habla de un hombre viviendo una vida feliz y satisfactoria en la selva, como Tarzán, quise cambiar el boy por el girl, obviamente haciendo referencia hacia mi persona. Lo cuál me pareció muy gracioso porque no pensé que fuese a coincidir tan bien. Además hemos realizado algunas ediciones con respecto a la voz para que sonara más al estilo ochentero pero, sin abusar sino se perdería mi voz.

Para el vídeo he decidio también buscar un atuendo parecido. Aunque no tenia nada realmente "salvaje", opté por una camisa tejida, unos aretes grandes, un peinado recogido y un maquillaje bastante colorido. Quise rendir homenaje a esa época. Sin más que decir, los dejo con el vídeo. Espero que lo disfruten y muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí. Un super abrazo.

Lyrics/Letra

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

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
Native beat that carries on
Burning bright, a fire that blows a signal to the sky
I sit and wonder, does the message get to you?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Chance tonight
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Jungle life, you're far away from nothing
It's all right, you won't miss home
Take a chance, leave everything behind you
Come and join me, won't be sorry
It's easy to survive

Jungle life, we're living in the open
All alone like Tarzan Boy
Hide and seek, we play along while rushing 'cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon

Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Chance tonight
Oh, yeah
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Night to night
You won't play

Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Chance tonight
Oh, yeah
Night to night, night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
