In between running an exotic animal zoo and fighting his nemesis, ‘Tiger King’ protagonist Joe Exotic recorded one of the greatest country murder ballads of all time
Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madnessdocumentary to your list of things to do for another weekend of staying in and flattening the curve.dives deep into the world of independently owned exotic animal zoos across the country, focusing mostly on the larger-than-life character Joe Exotic, a big cat breeder based out of Oklahoma.
There’s a song for every mood in the show, but the best one is a rollicking murder ballad called “Here Kitty Kitty.”episodes comes early on, when it’s revealed that Baskin was accused of murdering her husband in the late Nineties . The story is ripe for country storytelling, featuring a missing multi-millionaire and plenty of exotic animals.
The wackiest thing about this song, though, isn’t that controversial backstory — it’s that the song is actually very good. Exotic’s voice is whiskey-soaked and classic, and his songwriting isn’t bad, either; in the hands of any number of bigger-name country stars, it’s easy to imagine this becoming, at the very least, a novelty hit.
In January, Joe Exotic was sentenced to 22 years in prison, for trying to hire a hit man to murder Baskin and for wildlife violations. Maybe, in the meantime, “Here Kitty Kitty” will find the audience it deserves.
