Notes: The name of this game may have come from a top-selling World War I song "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" which had renewed success when recorded by the Andrews Sisters in January 1940.

Or, this game's name and theme may be referring to Johnny Weissmuller, an American swimmer who won 5 gold medals in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics, set 67 world records, and starred in Hollywood as the first Tarzan in a series of movies from 1932 to 1955.
