The Offspring cover Tiger King's "Here Kitty Kitty" with the help of some dancing furries
We were devastated, though not all that surprised, to learn that the many tiger-themed songs “performed” by Tiger King’s Joe Exotic in a number of deliciously cheesy videos were actually written and performed by The Clinton Johnson Band. That, however, hasn’t stopped quarantined artists from serving up spirited covers of loony songs like “I Saw A Tiger.”
The latest to surface is from the enduring alt-rockers of The Offspring, who just dropped their own version of Tiger King’s most controversial cut, “Here Kitty Kitty,” which morbidly luxuriates in the idea that Exotic’s nemesis, Carole Baskin, killed her first husband and fed his rotting flesh to her tigers.
Frontman Dexter Holland and guitarist Noodles strap on masks and keep six feet apart during the cover, while their costumed cohorts wear some furry cat suits we can only assume were dubbed “corona-proof” by Dr. Fauci. (Furries, this is your time!)
