Gitarzan was Ray Stevens' fourth studio album, released in 1969, as well as his second for Monument Records.

Contents include three of the Coasters' hits ("Yakety Yak," "Little Egypt" and "Along Came Jones"), "Mr. Custer," and "Alley Oop."

The back of the album cover contains an essay that was written by Merv Griffin and describes Ray Stevens' musical styles.

Included in the essay is an anecdote about Stevens' appearance on The Merv Griffin Show while promoting his hit "Unwind."

Aside from "Freddie Feelgood," two singles were lifted from this album: the title track (which tells a bizarre story about Tarzan and Jane and Cheetah forming a music band) and "Along Came Jones".
