Songs With 'Tiger' Titles For This Lunar Year: 2022 With Elvis, Lulu, Survivor & Abba.

A Happy Tiger Year To My Readers
祝 我 的 读 者 虎 年 快 乐

Yes, it's gonna be a roar-some year indeed. Here are a few of the fierce but musical ones, tamed by Lulu, Survivor, Abba and Elvis Presley.

There are many songs with "tiger" titles but these four hits are my favourite.

Lulu: I'm A Tiger 
YouTube Video From: LULU.

"A lot of men have come my way
Thinking that I'm easy prey
But you'll never tame this child
She loves running wild
You won't cage me in
Just stick around, let the fun begin..."

Songwriters: 
Marty Wilde, Ronnie Scott
Lyrics (C) BMG Rights Management.

A random moment just popped up when I saw your post Brother Andy. 'Tiger Feet' by Mud is my favourite. Yes, I clearly remember them having eleven hits between March 1973 and August 1975, including chart topping 'Tiger Feet' at the beginning of 1974. 

Oh, another name came to mind when I saw Marie McDonald McLaughlin aka LULU with 'I’m A Tiger'. Still remember my first glimpse of her was in 1972 when I was lucky enough to be in the front row of the orchestra section and Lulu walked by me, about one foot away before taking her seat near the center. Of course, she was here as Mrs Maurice Gibb when The Bee Gees performed their “Spectacular Tour” at our now defunct National Theatre. 

Many thanks for this upload, my friend. As always good music to remember the times gone by👍❤️🙏.

Eye of The Tiger: Survivor [Official HD Video]

"It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger..."

Songwriters:
Jim Peterik, Frankie Sullivan.

Elvis Presley: Tiger Man [King of the Jungle]
1968 [Comeback Special]

I am the king of the jungle

If you cross my path
You take your own life in your hands..."

I am the tiger
People who fear me never come near me
I am the tiger
The city is a prison, you'll never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys..."
