Mike Fontanelli turned me on to this: it's not only the best parody of Tarzan that I know of, but the character is one of Ernie Kovacs' all time best..."Leena: Queen of the Jungle." Sad to say, I think he only did Leena once. The show is on the bonus 7th disk on the new DVD set available from The Shout! Factory:

Ernie's part starts close to the two minute mark.
Since we're on a jungle theme, I thought I'd throw in a little exotica. Here's a terrific cheesecake jungle dance from "She Demons" (1958).

ReplyDeleteThats scream for you to capitalize on it, Eddie.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I meet a She-Demon?
ReplyDeleteLike any good Anthropologist, I will have to study the She Demons dance sequence more closely. It may take several months, perhaps years.
