		The uniqueness of this particular ululation is that it was created by the Olympic champion swimmer Johnny Weissmuller back in 1931 when he was selected for the starring role in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s first big “Tarzan” movie.
		Weissmuller had learned to yodel, as a boy, from his Austrian parents, and when they needed a sound effect by which Tarzan could make himself known in the jungles of Africa, he came up with this.
