The sound clip used in the Weissmuller films has also been used for animated series appearances of Filmation's Tarzan and in the 1966 Tarzan television series starring Ron Ely, rather than having the actor providing Tarzan's voice for the series attempt to imitate the trademark yell.His version is supported by his son and by his Tarzan co-star, Maureen O'Sullivan. But Weissmuller claimed that the yell was actually his own voice. Another widely published notion concerns the use of an Austrian yodel played backwards at abnormally fast speed. Boyd (circa 1970), "Blended in with that voice are the growl of a dog, a trill sung by a soprano, a note played on a violin's G string and the howl of a hyena recorded backward." According to Bill Moyers, it was created by combining the recordings of three men: one baritone, one tenor, and one hog caller from Arkansas. There are recordings of his recollections of creating the Tarzan yell, a story supported by his children and grandchildren. He was an opera singer from the 1940s into the '60s, winning the Chicagoland Music Festival on August 17, 1946, and going on to sing throughout the U.S., touring with several opera companies. One claim is that a man named Lloyd Thomas Leech was the original voice behind the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tarzan yell. Although the RKO Picture version of the Tarzan yell was putatively that of Weissmuller, different stories exist as to how the Tarzan yell was created.
