Jungle Love (Family Guy)

"Jungle Love" is the 13th episode of the fourth season of Family Guy. The episode originally aired on September 25, 2005 and was written by Mark Hentemann and directed by Seth Kearsley. Chris runs away from his home after getting hazed on his first day of school and joins the Peace Corps, after which he is dropped off in South America. Peter gets a job at the Pawtucket Brewery, where the beer is free as long as employees do not drink during their shift.

Plot

Chris is excited to become a freshman at the local high school, until Joe warns Chris about the Freshman Hunt, a hazing ritual in which the freshmen are beaten with paddles by Seniors, and even school staff. When Chris shows up at school Lois yells out "Freshman!" to lure over other students. After a short chase Chris is caught, and is paddled by several people, including Mayor Adam West (a parody of a scene from the film Dazed and Confused, complete with Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" playing). Chris asks Brian for advice on how to cope, and Brian tells Chris about his time in the Peace Corps. Chris decides to join the Corps and goes to South America, where he becomes popular with the natives. When he leads the tribe in a dance (Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go), he unwittingly marries the chief’s daughter, as dictated by the tribe’s customs.

Jungle Love (Steve Miller Band song)

"Jungle Love" is a 1977 song by the Steve Miller Band, featured on the album Book of Dreams. It was written by Lonnie Turner (longtime bass player for the Steve Miller Band) and Greg Douglass (a well-known San Francisco sideman who also played with Hot Tuna and Greg Kihn, among many others). The song's length is 3:07. It reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100.

According to Greg Douglass, Turner and Douglass originally wrote the song for Dave Mason. Turner gave a demo of the record to Miller, who liked it, and the Steve Miller Band (with Douglass playing guitar) recorded it in 30 minutes on the last day of recording for Book of Dreams.

Guitar tuning

Greg Douglass' guitar is tuned to 'Open A' (which is, low to high, E-A-E-A-C#-E). It is the only guitar on the studio recording.

In television

"Jungle Love" has been used on multiple occasions in the television series Everybody Loves Raymond. It was featured on the season 6 episode "Snow Day", which aired January 14, 2002: at the end, all the characters, except Marie and Frank, chaotically danced to the song. The song was then used as the opening credits theme music in seasons 7-9.
