Tell all the hunters to lay down their guns Tell em that the tiger needs a little bit of love Let em run the jungle Let em roam their land Then stand back and marvel What a beautiful cat Cuz I saw a tiger And i understand I saw tiger And the tiger saw man I can give em a home Safe and warm But law wants to ban me Can you tell me who’s wrong? Every time they move Every time they breathe I can feel their power I can feel their peace Cuz I saw tiger and i understand I saw tiger, and the tiger saw man Time is a ticking Will soon be gone So you better take a picture What a sad sad song Call it Armageddon Such a painful loss When they killed all the tigers In the holocaust Cuz I saw tiger and I understand I saw tiger, and the tiger saw man I saw tiger, and the tiger saw man I saw tiger now I understand

about

KING TIGER KING is my quarantine project of Joe Exotic covers.

My wife Sionann and I binge-watched the Netflix doc last weekend, and I recorded this EP over the last four days while our baby was napping. Each of the Tiger King's tracks is reimagined in my own style, with nods to my favorite acts like King Crimson, Oingo Boingo, Peter Gabriel and ELO.

All instruments and arrangements by me, with some sampled help from John Zorn, Luciano Pavarotti, Gar Samuelson, Gary Numan, Billie Eilish, Minnie Riperton and Robert Fripp.

If you enjoyed my covers, please consider donating to the COVID-19 relief of your choice. If you insist on giving money to artists, you can pre-order the upcoming MAN MAN album I produced here:
