This was so overused in the 90s I despise it and cringe everytime I hear it.

The cool thing about this is that the guy who found the recording digitized it an made it free. Sheb performs various takes on the scream before nailing the iconic one after a bit of direction.

Sheb Wooley, also the singer of Purple People Eater.

Wilhelm recent spoiler: As appropriately to the series, there was a Wilhelm in Indy V early on in the film. I did appreciate that it was well laid in the sound mix and not as stand out noticeable as it often is.

Now the video is private?!
Nooooooooo
Sheb also performed as Ben Colder. (I had an 8 Track of “The Wacky World of Ben Colder” which I’m really surprised no one stored in a magnetic field when I wasn’t around.) Apparently he wrote the theme song for Hee Haw.
