April Stevens - Teach Me Tiger

[RetiredYet]

i want to make a Remix, Teach Me Cougar, whooowwwwwhooowwooowhaaa!!!

[iluvwatermelons]

wuahwuahwuahwuah

[LiaKaboom]

everytime when mr. 'einstein' says somethin' like: "let me teach you how to square the circle"

le me: ''teach me tiger....whooooowhowhowhoooooa­h! "

[buddyeagle]

Put a tiger on your trunk. Go tiger go!

[daasvand]

sounds like sexy lady with bad breath!

[tanksbb]

April is hotter than June.

[iluvwatermelons]

@tanksbb haha word

[The3GXN]

This song would be a nice dubstep... Wubwwoobwubwuoouub, if you get it ^^

[iluvwatermelons]

@The3GXN lol thats what i was thinking

[RAMLIA1]

Un délice!

[Ma3sta]

gr8*

[Ma3sta]

[24luizmauro]

Musica maravilhosa, agradavel. Sensacional. Das melhores ( e olhe que tenho ótimo gosto, não dito por mim, mas pelos outros).

Abraços a todos que leram.

[oshfrodo]

the first time i heard this song i thought she was making capuccino :D

[newgx]

@oshfrodo LOL why?

[viksam009]

This song sounds a lot like Stand by Me by Ben E King.

[dorianpalepic]

whooowwwwwhooowwooowhaaa!!!!!!­!

[SirBasildeBrush]

@dorianpalepic well said...

[MCMcKinley]

For some reason I think this would work great as the only audio in a Quentin Tarantino film's rape scene.

[HoneyViVi]

@MCMcKinley haha u r funny! but that could work..his film is all about violence and romance

[Mresantoss]

A voz é sex,e a garota também é bonita .

[FriskyVickiSOwens]

I made a fun comedy video using this song with Jay Leno and a tiger. See it on my Youtube channel. Vicki

[boozebluntsnbitches]

i grew up with explicit hip hop, pop, rap, electronica lyrics- why the hell do I feel embarrassed listening to this song??!

[RhythmUniverse]

@boozebluntsnbitches Yeah, isn't that interesting?

I was thinking about what you said. Because I deal with music everyday, I'm exposed to all genres. It seems like, these days, 'sex' and 'love' are expressed like a rock, skipping on the water. Sure, it's parts are talked about more but we all have gotten self-protective, IMHO. Talk, talk, talk about how tough we all are...but real, true love is this vulnerable and this deep. Your thoughts, BBB? What would you do if a woman loved you like this?

[boozebluntsnbitches]

@RhythmUniverse oh I'm a girl. But yes you're right and I also think that what differs this song from contemporary music so much is probably the romantic inexperience she sings about.

[RhythmUniverse]

@boozebluntsnbitches I believe you're right about that. In April's day, that was the norm and now it seems that it's sort of embarrassing for the young woman of today to say she hasn't had much experience. But it's so appealing, isn't it men? I mean, what guy could resist a plea to "teach me, tiger"?

[kefferist]

many, many times ago a beautyfull blonde ask me if a have the words of this music. We were/are brazilians so I translate the lirics to her. Now hers hair turned to white but in my memories she still beautyfull and blonde.At that time I tought I was a tiger but she was a real teacher.

K.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@kefferist ...nice story.

[windswept23]

great tribute to a wonderful voice of a beautiful woman!

[Jacke18Swe]

Tiger Woods feel so offended...

[stamatanamilasal]

It reminds me of the cuttest guy I've ever met..TIGERRR<3

[ShireGeordie]

A beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman. I would love to teach her! Thanks SBB

[SirBasildeBrush]

@ShireGeordie A pleasure. I don't think there's much she doesn't know already...

[fuelx7]

wowowowaaaaah

[braveblunder]

More erotism than anything else ... like it ...

[kenturionmc]

stupendAAAAAAAA



[rowan860]

i will like it but that whowohwoooww thats i dont like (but i hitted the like button)

[SirBasildeBrush]

@tictactimmy As Wikipedia relates: "The song peaked at No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100. Stevens' recording of this song is often erroneously accredited to Marilyn Monroe."

[tictactimmy]

@SirBasildeBrush This isn't fact, Its Wikipedia.....even more awkward.

[djammes]

@tictactimmy You're a fool.

[rhiannonem]

@tictactimmy wow, really awkard, it's not Marilyn.

[irvingklaw57]

@tictactimmy Idiot

[Polyphemus47]

@tictactimmy What's awkward is that so many people don't credit April for being the inspiration for Marilyn's singing style.

[MrOne4eva]

@tictactimmy

No this is April Stevens. Marilyn Monroe was taught to sing like her (in other words steal her singing style) because it 'fit' her blonde persona. April Stevens had the original 'breathy, sexy' voice. Listen closley to any Monroe song. Big difference :)

[CarsonsClub]

Take me tiger, I wanna squeeze you???? In 1959?!?

This must have been such a shocking moment in music history.

Like someone would do a completely naked music vid now.

No wonder they banned it from airplay back then.

(What gave the single a real push up in the charts)

[kithrup]

Tiger Woods: born several decades too late.

[Lewelltam]

@kithrup Made me laugh dude. It's like they made him his very own Happy Birthday Mr President in anticipation of his coming. If I were him, I'd take a walk through my inevitably gigantic house, naked, at least once a day, while this played simultaneously, in perfect sync, through stereos placed in every room. I think we both now how that walk would end.

[MCellenberg]

LOVE



[FoxRunMan]

What a babe!!! But, I like her singing with Nino better than solo.

[DantHDany]

nie jestem stworzony w czasach których słuchało sie takiej muzyki.. pomimo tego coś w tej muzyce jest ; ]

[blackicewr]

@DantHDany to prawda, nie ma to jak klasyka

[unfortunes]

waaaaaaaay to breathy

[melondog7]

you just want to get your prostate milked and move on

[Yermak29]

No normal man could resist the temptatons of a girl this beautiful, and singing into his ear like that...in that willowy, sexy, breathy way. She could have talked me into robbing a bank for her if she sang that way to me.

[kittykat806]

I am so whispering song this into my boyfriend ear next time we cuddle (; i have a feeling that would be a great night

[SirBasildeBrush]

@kittykat806 ....lucky him

[maxisussex]

@kittykat806 Not if u start queefing

[kittykat806]

@maxisussex No, that did not happen XD

[TheMamasMunchkin]

amazing <3

[theawesomeguycam]

hahahahahahaha

[MrHansik1979]

piękne :)

[MrHansik1979]

piękne :)

[rb62470]

I like this song...A LOT, but the wuah's are just too over-the-top. Imagine a chick doing those wuah's during foreplay: instant de-bonerization.

[tweetLuiZct]

wa wa wa wah!!! perfect

[Vadrieril]

Tiger Wood's theme song.

[wonderouswonderloo]

@Vadrieril more like tiger's wood theme song

[bartlettohio]

I just found a copy of this album at my local flea market for 1 buck!!! April and her brother Nino were Phil Spector session veterans who both performed on "Youve Lost That Lovin Feeling". April introduced Sonny to Cher at that session.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@bartlettohio Good find! Interesting about the Sonny & Cher.

[Eurafrican]

so sexy, what a voice!!

[nosleep62]

mmmmm-hmmmmm!

[j43ms]

oooooohhhhh..... i've crashed the yoghurt truck!

[BigDuckKetterer]

TenStarsplus!!!! OMG !!!! I never thought I'd ever hear this wonderful sexy song again!!! My original 45 got destroyed in a house fire 35 yrs ago!! I was 16 in 1959 when this came out!! Hard to believe she will be 75 on April 20, 2011 !! Thank you SirBasildeBush for this fantabulous posting of my all time favorite female singer!!!!

[SirBasildeBrush]

@BigDuckKetterer Thanks for the fantabulous comment. Pity about that 45!

[MarielitaForever]

@BigDuckKetterer i discovered this song on real sex by HBO in 2005

[Weidenberg]

Awesome!

[thewalking]

Oh my God, 2:02 till the end of the song = so sexy. I love when she drops her voice and gets the vibrato going with the last "Tiger... Tiger..." bit so much.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@thewalking ...don't we all ;-)

[81marez]

Świetny kawałek. Dawno już go nie słyszałem i dzisiaj mi się przypomniał. Miłe wspomnienia mam z nim związane ;P

[JuggaleteXXVII]

My Michael is my tiger..

Wawawawawaaaa

[Boredtodeathcritic]

I want to like this song, but it's like she's molesting my ears with the wowwohwow's. FML...

[SirBasildeBrush]

@Boredtodeathcritic She doesn't hold back...

[infoherper]

the fuck? tiggur....OOOOWAHAHAHHAHAHOWOW­O

[capcom23]

@infoherper hello tiger ;-)

[infoherper]

@capcom23 RAWR

[EffLabels]

This song has more sex-appeal than some of the junk from today

[anyssima]

Adoro essa música, mas o engraçado é que todas as vezes que eu ouço, imagino alguns amigos do Twitter.... hehehehe

[apsu84]

i just love it!

she´s like a godess!

xD

[kellylang28]

I can teach too, lol. Love this song :)))

[SirBasildeBrush]

@kellylang28 !!!!!

[kellylang28]

@SirBasildeBrush ???????????

[SirBasildeBrush]

@kellylang28 Wow woh wow woh woah...

[kellylang28]

@SirBasildeBrush You have learned fast ! Ti - ger Ti- i- i - ger....

[TheOpenDog]

Instant boner .. after 50 years :-) Amazing!

[19XWyomingGrizFan]

I really like the musical arrangement on this; it's perfect. It has the vocalist as the main event. An amazement of maturity that reminds me of a Gordon Jenkins, Jack Pleis, Hugo Winterhalter, a Percy Faith or a Nelson Riddle. A timeless classic. That's one of the problems of the sixties, some very good female vocalists didn't get the arranger best suited for them, the song, etc. Really unfortunate at times, considering.

[19XWyomingGrizFan]

Too bad there isn't a video version from somewheres from some of those sixties variety shows.

[kisetsuno]

SEXY.... french accent

[cinder1fk4n3ella]

idk...this song is a lil goofy w/ that funny sound which does not make the song sexy =/ no bueno

[leexag]

God I love this song.

[laughinggnomenandy]

this song was banned!!!!!!!!!!!! folks!!!!!!!!!

[pogromcaowiec]

hi, tiger;>

[loveMyJEJ]

to Jej

[Redtop42]

@loveMyJEJ i'll teach you it all my love

[davidsudest]

The song is better when it's raising hell by Mormons ! Thank you stupid religious narrow-minded people.

God may laugh at them ;-)

[davidsudest]

This song is much more important that Mormons !

[236091]

so sexy

[Randyincv]

Does anyone have the April Stevens single "Wake up and love me"? I remember hearing it about 1974 and she carried off the very erotic tone very well. It was credited by "April" without her last name.

[oOMadhuriOo]

Wow, this is the sexiest song I have ever heard ... It must have made quite a splash back then as ppl where so prudish at that time ...

[Hulk2k6]

@oOMadhuriOo

And that was the whole decade of everyone humping each other and the hell with the consequences!

[edwinCSBG]

muauaua uaua uaaa

[kwuon]

wow! excelente musica de la epoca, muy padre

[norfolk03]

Most excellent, thanks!

[EugeneBlake86]

She's singing to Tiger Woods

[absjaris]

@EugeneBlake86

XD

[aaadiaaa]

lovelovelove <3

[emb1st]

i remember the Mormons raising hell about this and banned it in Utah with other stations to follow who were owned by th same group. I bought it out of couriosity

and never stopped playing it.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@emb1st I can believe it...

[Fabuladico]

This is no doubt the sexiest song of the fifties. It must have drove the censors crazy.

[mondmichel]

Einfach ein richtig toller Song!

Was sonst, könnte man sich als Mann ins Ohr geflüstert wünschen....

reminds me on "good old times".... maybe, a little of those feelings will be coming back... i hope so... ;-)

[Ksywka318]

Usta usta....:D

[TehKhalidah]

I LOVE this song <3 so sweet and sexy

[ernalise]

Jamen, det var det der forår :O)))

[ernalise]

Eller er det sommeren der er her nu ?

[Fabuladico]

I never heard this before today...a little before my time, but wow! I've played it 4 times already. This must have raised quite a few eyebrows in 1959. This is probably the single sexiest song of the fifties!

[onecreativecriminal]

April's voice is mad sexy!!

[djgambitron]

wah wah wah wahhhhhh wahhhhhhh wah

goes great with her rendition of "love kitten"

[USAneedsaChange]

this song is so good, despite all the years that has passed

[jimn0868]

Thanks Aunt April for the Awsome song.Miss yall,Call me sometimes and let me know how you are doing.Your nephew James

[thecountofbasie]

Damn...as I'm typing this the pic of April in the bikini popped up...(came a bit close to something else popping up too...:-) ...Classic side and delicious post...thanks Sir

[SirBasildeBrush]

@thecountofbasie. You should click on the Video Responses "see all", then the 1965 version of the song if you really want to see April revealed...

[Banderuola66]

This is sooooooo great. I had to share it !!!!!!!

Thank you so much for posting it. Hugs. Sonja

[SirBasildeBrush]

@Banderuola66. Thanks. This would be an interesting one to have a go at...

[Banderuola66]

@SirBasildeBrush I did it, I did it !!!!

[SirBasildeBrush]

@Banderuola66 I know, you had me purring with delight! Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. There I go again....

[haydenwars]

Funniest. Song. Ever!!!!! i wuz lmfaoing the whole time!!!!

[prototism]

it also sounds like something tarantino would use

[prototism]

incredible amount of sensuality for a song from 1959. the song is oozing with sex.

[PhilKay]

sooo dreamy

[HighHeelWoman1975]

Even as a heterosexual female, this leaves me speechless every time.. Wow...

Thanks, Sir!

[SirBasildeBrush]

@HighHeelWoman1975 As a heterosexual male it does something else to me...

[NoeliaCarolDee]

Love this song and sing it is a pleasure. Great singer April, her voice was full of sensuality

[SamsungGX20]

I bet tiger's prostitute mistress sang this to him.

[DankoLviv]

My friend sung me it, it sounds so briskly and sexy ^_^

[JakensteinSEX]

me and april stevens used to make out behind the bleachers at home football games.

[thereswaterhere]

This song is on an awesome Animal Planet commercial featuring a Persian cat wearing a tiara

[docxxx64]

Thanks to Mr Woods, this tune has had a resurgence lately

[SirBasildeBrush]

Must write and thank him...

[adripov1337]

Sexiiiiiiiiiii raaaaaaaawrrr ;D

[TheSweetie76]

85.950 have listen to this wonderful evergreen here...

THANK YOU, APRIL !

( and of course, SirBasildeBrush ;) )

[pedropaulo134]

Conheci a canção quando em meu Rio de Janeiro, ainda criança. Foi paixão à primeira vista.

[winkstermexx]

I reckon this could fit nicely into the next James Bond film somewhere... maybe just background music or something. I can imagine Daniel Craig making some sideways comment about it!

[SirBasildeBrush]

I'll watch out for it..

[wertwolfi]

Als ich bei der Marine ("Zerstörer 2") war, wurden wir mit "Teach Me Tiger" geweckt! Besser als mit dem üblichen Gebrülle!

[NigelBadman]

What I always wondered is weather people thought this song was campy when it came out, or whether they thought it was racy and sexy. I find it a delicious expression of high camp!

[SirBasildeBrush]

I guess that exaggerated "Marilyn Monroe" delivery gives it a retro cool, retro camp feel. It still works for me in the way it was intended...

[NynaBrooks]

Holy cuss, this is amazing. I'm dying!!!

[Hke186]

Of course it's funny! Sexy and funny together! Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah !

[PhilosophyAndDoubt]

nice song but am i the only one who finds it funny?!

[Weidenberg]

Einfach geil!

[TheSweetie76]

LOVE THIS FANTASTIC SONG ,

thank you !

[SirBasildeBrush]

My pleasure.

[lesliebug15]

o my gish this is so stupidly funny

my favorite part is the woh woh woh wooohh woh woh wohhh

[arbmust]

"Tale of Tiger Tail?"

[cbob7]

Oh, man, not another one of Tiger Woods' girlfriends...

[SirBasildeBrush]

:-) watch out for that swinging club...

[brothadude]

dude LOL I was thinkin the same thing

[jolly113]

@cbob7 wow that could have been a late night show parody, what an idea

[sharonkayb]

@cbob7 LOL!

[capcom23]

@cbob7 lol

[Johnnystrychnine]

@cbob7 I had a giggle, not a lol.

[XD454009]

I remember this record very well. Most of the stations would not play it. And I do remember making out with it playing. In fact, I will never forget. WOW!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Wah woah wah woah wah!

[mikekadas]

Caused a minor uproar for its sexual suggestiveness and consequently did not receive airplay on many radio stations. The song peaked at No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. - Ultra Lounge: Fuzzy Sampler (Columbia)-1996.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks, a lot more popular than its original chart placing indicates.

[SocialFace]

Let's admit that the "Marilyn Monroe phenomenon" did have a massive impact on this song. It must have been its inspirational force, really. (One of April's dress is the direct copy of one of Monroe's famous dresses.) This song is perfect: it seems a sort of parody of the Monroe feeling, but at the same time it's outrageously sexy! I luv it!!!

[Fo0dStamps]

Teenage pregnancy skyrocketed after this songs release way back then, in 1959. i was a delivery doctor back then .

[acla9000]

Oh my, I imagine how astonishing must have been the 'baby-boom' of then.
