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

*Repeat

One day in the warm jungle the Tiger took my snake
It wasn't really fun it was a big mistake
I took my brother's slingshot and shot the tiger down
This is how we do it here in Tigerland

*Repeat

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

This is a high speed remix of "S.O.S.", which was often discussed in the previous game.
Well, those synth riffs that made such a strong impact, are powered up even more here!
It's filled with all of its delicious parts in the game, so please pay attention to them.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

It's as if S.O.S. was reborn as happy hardcore.
For the movie, I tried to include the 3rd style subtitle, symbolized as "CYBER-beat-NATION".
S.O.S., which seemed to have a comical drama-oriented movie and gag, was great, but this song is faster and stronger, no, it became nothing less than a dangerously, upper song.
Likewise, did this manifest into a CYBER-beat form? Well, this is the movie.
