Gitarzan was Ray Stevens' fourth studio album, released in 1969, as well as his second for Monument Records. Unlike his previous album, Even Stevens, this album is completely in the genres of novelty and comedy. Although this is a true studio album, all of the songs are overdubbed with cheering and applauding of an audience to provide the feeling of a live album

Album Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection. He's free as the breeze He's always at ease He lives in the jungle And hangs by his knees As he swings through trees Without a trapeeze In his BVD's A-hoo hoo! He's got a union card And he's practicin' hard To play the gitar Gon' be a big star Yeah he's gonna go far An' carry moonbeams home in a jar!

Stevens plies his stock-in-trade pop novelties on this 1969 album, replete with hayseed monologues, skilled mimicry of various voices (spoken and sung), and Vegas-soul female backup singers. It sounds hokey now - and probably sounded hokey then - but not to everyone, as the title track made the Top Ten, and the remake of the Coasters' "Along Came Jones" made the Top Thirty.
