Baltimora, aka Jimmy McShane (23 May 1957 – 29 March 1995) was a singer from Northern Ireland known chiefly for his 1985 hit "Tarzan Boy". This song was used for a national television commercial for Listerine. A remixed version of the song was used in the soundtrack for the third Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. "Tarzan Boy" has become the unofficial song of the drink Gay Fuel; this song has also enjoyed internet fame as a part of the Gay Fuel YTMND fad.
McShane made two albums, Living In The Background (1985) and Key Key Karimba a few years later. While the former was supported by the hit "Tarzan Boy", the second was without any hits, selling resonably well in Italy, but with little attention in the U.S.
McShane died from AIDS in 1995.
