A side of me wanted to do a song portraying a cute critter (i.e. Squirrels, chipminks, etc...) because those seem to be popular with people. Then, the side of me that likes to do what everyone else isn't told me to rebel against their popularity y doing a song from the point of view of a tiger who also wants to be popular in music and is upset that he can't. The tiger side won!
lyrics
Furry little critters that sing high-pitched
Keep recording songs that wind up hits
They keep knocking me off the charts
All because they're cute, not because of the art
Cute little chipmunks, cute little squirrels
Get to participate in the business world
I'm still wildlife in my current financial state
I wish I could rise up with the greats
But I'm a tiger with no welcoming appeal
No record company will cut me a deal
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm loud, mean, and vicious, so in the music industry, I lose.
I have really worked on my song a bunch,
But you keep giving contracts to my lunch
They shouldn't be coming out as stars, that's screwy
They should be coming out of me brown and gooey
Security guards save them from consumption, that's lame
I stir-fry their records, but it's just not the same
It may be cute to you that animals actually sing
But I want my music to be the new thing
But I'm a tiger, my voice sounds broke
Like a dozen razor blades got stuck in my throat
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm a groggy-voiced egotist, so in the music industry, I lose
I'm a tiger, what can I do?
I'm the anti-cute, so I'm royally screwed
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm loud, mean, and vicious, so in the music industry, I lose.
I'm a tiger, what can I do?
I'm the anti-cute, so I'm royally screwed
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm loud, mean, and vicious, so in the music industry, I lose.
