Now I keep thinking of the film Bird on a Wire, and the line "I'm gonna feed your girlfriend to the tigers!", and how the poor hungry tigers looked so happy at that!
Yeah, I know. Such beautiful, strong animals. The Chiense consider to be symbols of power, strength, uniqueness, and it's even the symbol of the first Chinese emperor.
I'm sad the tiger got shot. Granted, it did attack those guys teasing it, and yes it's not a good idea for a tiger to run loose, but it's still a shame.
This song is so funny and I can't help but laugh at it. Tigers are such magnificent animals it's a shame that the mad scientists are mixing them with lions to make these ligers. I wonder how the tigers feel about it?
I can tell this is David (Northern Calloway) singing in this song. His voice is very recognizable. This song reminds of my cat Tiger. I miss him very much.
The Tiger has a rather sweet look, even if he is thinking about lunch. (kinda glad I'm on the other side of the TV screen) You are really are a magnificent animal, friend tiger, :).
haha my mom asked me earlier "if you could be any animal what would it be" and i said a Tiger! she asked why and i told her "so i can be that Tiger from the sesame street song" and then proceeded to sing her this song - and she laughed and rolled her eyes and said i was crazy. hmpf.
It's interesting this one was reran well into the 1990's and David was singing it, and was gone from the show by then. Back then there was basically no such thing as "outdated" Sesame Street was just one big happy show.
It's true---they used to be a LOT more lax about showing material that was way out of date. Even as late as 1997, I remember occaionally tuning in and seeing things like "Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco." I mean, showing disco in 1997? It doesn't get much more dated than that! XD
They were also still showing a few Bert & Ernie and Kermit clips from year one, even though the characters clearly looked different.
It's changed a lot in 10 years. Now, they're much pickier about stuff being dated.
That's one interesting tiger there. Yeah i remember this also SS always came up with some great animal skits back in the days and i wish they would bring those back today cause it was fun to watch back then.
lol.. This is so funny. Maybe he's looking at a female tiger or somebody dressed in a female tiger outfit. Or maybe somebody has some serious BO and the tiger is so offended by the smell that he can't help but look.
How do they keep the tiger's attention? With cats that can be hard. I cant get my cats to look at me all the time. They keep walking away like cats do sometimes. Also its may not be food. Tigers usealy dont attack If you are lookng at them. But nice song.
Yeah,and like what Nantosuichoken mentioned in the other post before it got deleted by Viacom that Tiger seems a bit curious about the camera he's looking at.

Northern Calloway was THE coolest, hippest Sesame Street cast member! His death was just as heartbreaking to me as Mr. Hooper's.
