Tiger Lyrics
[Purring]
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his tiger [Growling]
So many tigers, it happens to tigers
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the tiger's dreams
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye! Of the tiger
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
The eye! Of the tiger
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, with the tiger (they're grrrrrrreat!)
They stack the odds 'till we take to the street
For the tiger with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the tiger
Rising up to the challenge of our tiger (they're grrrrrrreat!)
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye!
Of the tiger!
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
The eye! Of the tiger
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
Tiger!
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his tiger [Growling]
So many tigers, it happens to tigers
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the tiger's dreams
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye! Of the tiger
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
The eye! Of the tiger
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, with the tiger (they're grrrrrrreat!)
They stack the odds 'till we take to the street
For the tiger with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the tiger
Rising up to the challenge of our tiger (they're grrrrrrreat!)
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye!
Of the tiger!
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
The eye! Of the tiger
[Mario Paint 'meow' sound effect] [Growling]
Tiger!
Risin' up, straight to the top
Got the guts, got the tiger
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man (they're grrrrrrreat!) Just a tiger-man
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the tiger of our tiger
And the-- tiger stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye!
Of the tiger! [Growls]
[Tiger growling] (they're grrrrrrreat!)
[Tiger growling] (they're grrrrrrreat!)
The eye of the tiger! (they're grrrrrrreat!)
The eye of the tiger-er-er!
The eye of the tiger![Growling]
The eye of the tiger!
They're grrrrrrr-!
Got the guts, got the tiger
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man (they're grrrrrrreat!) Just a tiger-man
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the tiger of our tiger
And the-- tiger stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye!
Of the tiger! [Growls]
[Tiger growling] (they're grrrrrrreat!)
[Tiger growling] (they're grrrrrrreat!)
The eye of the tiger! (they're grrrrrrreat!)
The eye of the tiger-er-er!
The eye of the tiger![Growling]
The eye of the tiger!
They're grrrrrrr-!
About
Genius Annotation
Following in the tradition of meme-y remixes like “Mom’s Spaghetti” and Cicierega’s own “Bustin”, “Tiger” rearranges the vocals of Survivor’s 1982 song “Eye of the Tiger”– originally made for the third Rocky movie– to place more emphasis on the theme of tigers in the song. It is layered over the instrumental of INXS’s “Need You Tonight.” Several clips of Tony the Tiger saying “they’re grrrrrrreat!” have been sprinkled throughout the song.
