In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Tarzan” is an epic card of the Memes World series 77, number 22839 of the collection, and the 34th best-known meme of its 141 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Tarzan” meme mean?
The image expresses overflowing energy and perfect mastery of extreme situations. By juxtaposing Tarzan's animal grace with Phil Collins' powerful rock, the meme creates absurd comedy: it suggests that every movement in nature is synchronized to an intense musical rhythm. It is a playful way to glorify action or highlight determination against a difficult challenge, while recalling the iconic soundtrack.
Where does the “Tarzan” meme come from?
The visual starting point comes from the Disney animated feature released in 1999. Animators studied skateboarding videos, notably those of Tony Hawk, to draw Tarzan's fluid movements on branches and vines. The music, composed and performed by Phil Collins, accompanies these sequences in the original film. The specific meme, which explicitly shows Phil Collins playing drums during the descent, has no identified single source. It seems to result from a fan-made edit spread after the official website launch on May 25, 1999. The lack of precise traces makes the exact origin hard to trace, though the association between the character and the musician is rooted in pop culture since the cartoon's release.
