: Despite its explicit nature, the English-dubbed American version managed a massive casting coup. It featured the voice talents of Saturday Night Live icons John Belushi and Bill Murray, alongside Emily Prager as June. In a brilliant twist of meta-casting, Johnny Weissmuller Jr.—the son of the definitive Hollywood Tarzan—voiced the character of Shame.

Whether you view it as a nightmare of fast-fashion design or a bold statement of carefree style, one thing is certain: the Tarzan top is here to stay. It persists because it sits at the intersection of vulnerability and humor. We are ashamed, yes—but we are ashamed together.

This personal shame is also explored in Burroughs' original novels. Tarzan, an English aristocrat (Lord Greystoke), constantly grapples with his dual identity. In many interpretations, he is hiding from his past because he is ashamed of being Tarzan—of being the "ape man".
