Lyrics

I live in Tigerland, I'm an indiana man
I'm used to walk around with a snake in my hann
Dr Bombay is my name and my father has the same
But everything it changed here in Tigerland

S.O.S. The tiger took my father
S.O.S. The tiger took my brother
S.O.S. The tiger took my mother
S.O.S. The tiger took my family

We lived outside Calcutta in a little wooden house
I lived there with my family and 21 cows
But now they all are gone and life is not so fun
But what can you expect here in Tigerland

S.O.S. The tiger took my father
S.O.S. The tiger took my brother
S.O.S. The tiger took my mother
S.O.S. The tiger took my family

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

This is a song by DR.BOMBAY, also known as the "mysterious Indian".
The strong synth riffs in the intro and the funny sound effects in the middle convinced me that it was definitely interesting to include it in beatmania.
The difficulty level is quite high, but I'm sure good things will come in the dawn when it's cleared...

PS: I meant that you can go to the "Extra Stage", but the expression may have been a bit misleading.
If you were expecting something else, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

I think many people were overwhelmed by the impact, power, and fun radiating from this movie.
DR.BOMBAY becomes a hunter and chases after a ferocious tiger (tiger-man?) in this video, but since we had to cut it down to a game sized version, we weren't sure how it would turn out.
If you see it on TV on a music channel, please check it out.
By the way, if you listen carefully to the lyrics, you'll see how they relate to the movie (and it's even more fun!).
