Whether planned or not, many of the songs on Law & Order have a skewed-to-pop African beat. Weissmuller played Tarzan in a series of movies in the 1930s in Hollywood.



The jungle has its own law, but Tarzan brings order to his life. By the same token, rock & roll has its own law, but Lindsey has said that he deplores the absence of order in the lives of so many rock stars.

(Factoid: Weissmuller was a champion swimmer before his Hollywood career. Lindsey almost was, & his brother Greg truly was.)

Am I the only one who hates this photo?! He looks awful and barely recognisable. Same goes for the cropped head shot on Law and Order. He looks plastic, the close up/medium shot was a bad idea! It just seems lazy. A picture of his face. That's it. Big deal. Not nice text/shading or artwork at all. Have to say it's still better than Stevie's Street Angel cover though, haha.
