At this point much of the world has watched “Tiger King” on Netfix, and it would seem that Midland are fans of the bizarre docuseries as well.
“Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” chronicles the bizarre life of Joe Exotic, a flamboyant character who owns is own zoo, breeds big cats, ran for Governor AND President, and is now serving 22 years in Prison for trying to hire someone to kill Carole Baskin, twice…she’s also an “interesting” character (actually they all are), and although she has never been tried for it, most people believe “Carole Baskin killed her husband”.
One of the many things that makes Joe Exotic so enticing to watch is his absolute belief that he can do anything. He has the most incredible confidence, and while most think he is over the top, Joe believes he can do anything he puts his mind to, which is why he ran for Governor AND President, and did I mention he was also a country singer?
Joe has so many songs and music videos to accompany him, it’s a shame that we are all just learning of his incredible talent (she says sarcastically.)
His song “Here Kitty, Kitty” was aimed directly at Carole Baskin, who Joe believes killed her former husband (a millionaire) and fed him to her Tiger’s.
There are already hundreds of covers of this song on YouTube…check it out.
Speaking of covers, remember when I told you that Midland was obviously a huge fan of the docuseries?
They just posted a cover of another one of Joe’s “hits”…”I Saw A Tiger”
Here is the original by Joe Exotic…
So, who did it better? HAHA
