Yeah, it was the first 45rpm record I ever bought with my own money. I was in 9th grade (1969) and went to a dept store called Rinks, it was a K-Mart type place. I paid $.69 cents each for Ray Stevens's Gitarzan and Elvis' In The Ghetto. The flip side of ITG had Kentucky Rain, IMHO one of the King's finest recordings. The song Gitarzan now sounds pretty silly now, but it was big hit back then. I still like it, it's like my song... git-it! Git-It! GIT-IT! GIT-IT! OW! Gitarzan... If you think about how it was sung, it's almost a rap song. I started using Gitarzan as a moniker about 1991 when I was "charter member" of AOL. I've used it everywhere on the Internet since. Gitarzan He's free as the breeze, He's always at ease He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees As he swings through the trees without a trapeze In his B.V.D.'s
He's got a union card and he's practicing hard To play the guitar Gonna be a big star, yeah, he's gonna go far And carry moon beams home in a jar
He ordered Chet's Guitar course C.O.D. Makes "A" and "E" and he's working on "B" Digs "C" and "W" and "R" and "B" And me and the chimpanzee agree that one day soon he will be a celebrity
Chorus
Git it, git it, git it, git it...OW! Gitarzan, he's a guitar man He's all you can stand Give him a hand, Gitarzan Ahhh (Jungle Yell), Ahhh, Ahhh
He's got a girl named Jane with no last name Kinda homely and plain but he loves her just the same Cuz she kindles a flame and it drives him insane When he hears her sing, she really does her thing It's her claim to fame, come on, sing one Jane
Baby, baby Ow, baby, baby (scat) Baby, baby
Well, they got a pet monkey He likes to get drunky And sing boogie woogie and it sounds real funky Come on, your time boy, sing one monkey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Let's hear it for the monkey On saturday night they need some excitement Jane gets right and the monkey gets tight And their voices unite in the pale moonlight And it sounds all right, yeah, it's dynamite, it's out of sight Let's hear it right.....now
Baby, ahhh, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Baby, ahhh, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Chorus
Git it, git it, git it, git it...ow! Gitarzan and his jungle band They're all you can stand Give 'em a hand Gitarzan Check this out top 100 songs of May 10, 1969 http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/randypny/cashbox/19690510.htmlWhat a list.
