A picture of Jimmy MacDonald, the person responsible for the recording.
This yell is mostly associated with Peppino from Pizza Tower.
This sound effect can be found on Cartoon Trax Volume 1, which was made by The Hollywood Edge. Since the release of Pizza Tower, people typically referred to as the "Peppino Scream", due to it frequently being used for, and commonly associated with, the character Peppino Spaghetti.
The yells were performed by longtime Disney sound department head Jimmy MacDonald.
