Jack Perry: ‘Tarzan Boy’ Is Here To Stay
When Jack Perry and Luchasaurus reunited at AEW All Out, they brought back “Tarzan Boy” by Baltimora. The song was used during their first run as Jurassic Express, but was scrapped when they split.
Speaking to Haley Miller of Vice, Perry said the song is here to stay.
“I think the song is here to stay. It’s funny ’cause I was thinking about that. I was like, ‘I don’t know, we have a different look.’ The thing that solidified it for me was that people were singing it before we even played it. I looked, it’s been like three years, like a thousand something days since Luchasaurus and I have been on screen together.
I’ve been off about a year, I was the Scapegoat before this, I’m wearing all black with a knife on my belt. He’s in all black and people are singing that song. I think in the time that we had it, it cut deep with people. I think there is an interesting thing when I watch shows, I get a lot of inspiration from shows and movies, but I just watched this show, Hunting Wives on Netflix.
What I really liked about it was on the surface level, it’s this community and they’re all happy and they go to church, then underneath it, there’s all this dark kind of undercurrent going on. White Lotus is another show like that. There’s lighthearted funniness to it and happiness and whatever, and it’s silly. Then there’s murder going on underneath it all. I’m interested in experimenting with the duality of something like the song and our new presentation.”
Perry and Luchasaurus will be part of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite 6th Anniversary event.
