I missed Beat Happening until I read the Michael Azerrad book on indie bands. I vaguely remember the kitty logo, and I'm sorry it took me SO long to appreciate what a cool band this is.
great song when you just had a shitty school day and you feel like you'r an ass plus you have a million homeworks AND a dramatic arts text to memorize for tommorow..
@YUMMYngbird the irony in your statement is that this is very slick production, especially for beat happening. just listen to the quality. besides, more than one guitar = super slick production for beat happening.
@Ayeetbolz I know, the whole album is quite polished for Beat Happening. I'm not saying that production is a bad thing, only that a lot of bands use that kind of pseudo-noisy, still polished production as some kind of shortcut to sounding like the old boys. They just forget that the song must rock in the first place, like this one!
For the record, the K band Tiger Trap got their name from the very first Calvin & Hobbes strip, not from this track. This song was actually named after them.
What's forbidden As been boldly written I found you In the tasting core of the sweeting fruit Confusing reign supreme When the promises are repeat I think he said: "what's forbidden has been boldly bitten I found you bitter tasting core of the sweetest fruit confusion reigns supreme"

W 2010 roku jak wracaliśmy z Heineken Opener Festival
to cała droga wyglądała dokładnie tak jak na klipie do tego utworu.
Siedzieliśmy sobie w ostatnim wagonie
i paliliśmy papierosy oglądając zachodzące słońce, coś pięknego...
NIGDY tego nie zapomnę!

Wow, I have been a Beat Happening fan for a couple of years now, and believe it or not this is the first time I have heard the song "Tiger Trap"!
This song is beautiful! It really emotionally grabbed me!
Thank you for uploading this, nice video to go with it too!

Does anybody know all of the lyrics? Every site I go to there's question marks all over the lyrics of this song, haha

It's a little know fact that Calvin replaced Damo in CAN for a brief spell (when this song was recorded under the name Beat happening)

Many of the new bands are just shadows of the soul in Beat Happening, and they try to cover it with fast drums, weird effects and slick production.
