Subject: Definetly not JUNGLE LOVE- HELP

Written By: Nicole on 9/19/2001 at 6:45 p.m.

I recently asked for help on finding out the name and/or group who sang a really weird song in the 80's. Circa 1985 when music video was a treat to those of us who did not get MTV right of way. It went somenthing like this:

WE ARE ANIMALS

OH-WE-A-OH-WE-A-OH-WE-A-OH

IT'S DEFINETLY NOT JUNGLE LOVE, although I do appreciate the response.

A bunch of guys were shown in the video dancing around with their faces painted and doing some kind of African Dance-like moves. They were white and maybe Brittish. This is driving me absolutley mad!

OKay, this is problay not going to help, but was'nt "jungle Love" in a mouthwash commercial a few years back? Or maybe it was the other song? I don't know, just trying to help.

I'm thinking it might be "We Eat Cannibals" by Totally Cooleo, but that's just a guess (and I've been known to be wrong in these matters...)

"I Eat Cannibals" by Total Coelo would be my guess too. Here's a link to the lyrics.

It doesn't sound like "Tarzan Boy" to me at all..(and that is the song from the Listerine commercials)...Now, if there is another song called "Jungle Boy", I don't know it. But I have noticed A LOT of people mistake "Tarzan Boy" for "Jungle Boy" for some reason...
Good luck!!

I doubt it's "tarzan boy" only because i vaguely remember the video. there's just one scrawny guy who wore a ton of blush dressed like tarzan with comic book-like backgrounds. i think it was even supposed to actually look like he was in a comic book.
i don't remember that "i eat cannibals" song at all.

I agree "Tarzan Boy" is not it. "I Eat Cannibals" might be. I've seen the video only once, and that was 20+ yrs ago. But I think it is similar to what was described by this person. However, the song doesn't have a "we-oh-a-oh" or anything. Perhaps there's a mix-up in memories and a couple songs are running together and bringing up a vision of a particular video.

I am not saying this song/video doesn't exist! It's just very rare for NO ONE in here to figure out a song/video/artist.

Anywho, good luck.
