Talk:Tarzan yell

message: Some of the film and TV examples appear to be occurrences of actors/characters just making a sound that's similar to the trademark yell. Since this article is specifically about the Weissmuller-Tarzan-yell sound clip I've removed the Ice Age 2 "Scrat makes a yell that sounds similar". Possibly some others on the list don't belong either but I'm not familiar with them.  Psychonaut3000 18:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Seems a shame that the article completely fails to mention the similar calls made for Jane and Boy in the movies. 173.242.241.160 (talk) 01:31, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jane and Boy? 

message: This may well refer to hog calling, but now redirects to Calling the Hogs. Some research would be necessary for disambiguation. 37.190.156.25 (talk) 16:50, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Hog caller from Arkansas" 

message: A fascinating WP article (yawn). Can some Tarzan & yodel expert explain why the yell in musical notation and the yell described in words are rather different? (10 notes instead of 9, different intervals, in particular the middle note of the short triplet.) Herbmuell (talk) 12:00, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The notated image isn't even correct musically; let alone in keeping to what is described in the Trademark sound description. I'm removing the image box altogether. It isn't even sourced. Maineartists (talk) 20:24, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discrepancy between musical and verbal notation 

message: I have not found a source for that. But playing the call backwards proves it.79.214.119.233 (talk) 14:14, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi @Maineartists, it is more or less at the end of first quarter, after the photo and link to Douglas Shearer. It says:  "This would explain why the yell is palindromic, i.e. it sounds the same whether played forward or backward --  the second half of the cry is the first half in reverse." I doubt about the source reliability, so I have added the "better source needed" tag. Cheers. Alexcalamaro (talk) 14:29, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
