"Here Kitty Kitty" By Joe Exotic Is The Hottest Country Song Out Right Now, But Is It Actually Joe's Song?
Hi, me again talking about Tiger King, and I'm here to say that Here Kitty Kitty is simply a smoldering hot jam. Joe Exotic is a HUGE piece of shit, like paid his employees 100 dollars a month and made them eat expired Walmart meat to survive piece of shit, but he's eccentric enough that you kinda forgive it.
What do I mean by eccentric? Well when one of his husbands, Travis, who was actually straight, killed himself Joe dressed like a priest and delivered a beautiful eulogy about how Travis would put his balls on Joe whenever Joe was feeling down. Joe then performed a song, not a song he wrote for Travis or anything, just one of his country songs. Travis' mother was sitting front row and Joe just sang "This Old Town" right in her face, it was somehow heartbreaking and funny.
But "Here Kitty Kitty" is absolutely incredible. THIS is showmanship! When your rival has a brutal "rumor" about murdering her rich husband and feeding him to tigers then you've gotta capitalize and by capitalize I mean put on that trusty priest collar and sing a tune. The line "mama's got some treats for you... oh you can't find this taste in a zoo" is fucking incredible. It's perhaps the best diss track ever written, up there with the Ethers and the I don't know what else because I don't know rap of the world.
HOWEVER, if I may shatter your world a little bit, Carole Baskins claims Joe never wrote or sang any of his songs. Shocking, I know. Carole claims she has the proof that Joe paid a man named Vince Johnson $7,000 per song to write and perform all Joe's country hits, then Vince's voice was just blended with Joe's. Carole is probably a psycho who killed her husband but I tend to believe her here, on account of completely everything about Joe. If it's true Vince is certainly kicking himself over that flat 7k fee because this song is about to take off.
OooooOOOOOoooo Here Kitty Kitty
