Get the what a' gwaan? mug.Said in one of the old Tarzan movies by Tarzan's actor, Johnny Weissmüller.

"Elephants, come and destroy the whole village except hut number three from right where I’m lying on the floor!"

Don Rosa, a comic artist/writer, used this in Chapter XI of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". Scrooge disrespected the voodoo gods and Foola Zoola shouts "M'GAWA NIKTIMBA!" at him.
