SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:  The Man Who Wanted To Be King . . . Of The Jungle, That Is -- (August 2001) SAN DIEGO, CA. -- A San Diego computer programmer who has spent �100,000 on tattoos and plastic surgery to turn himself into a 'tiger' wants a fur graft.   ( Click here for his picture)  Dennis Smith is tattooed from head to toe with orange and black stripes and his teeth have been filed to needle point.  His fingernails have been crafted into sharp talons while his hands have tattooed markings like a tiger's paws.   He says he feels like a tiger.  The short back-and-sides he sported at the University of California has been replaced with a long orange mane.  He has also swapped his glasses for green contact lenses.  He has also had latex whiskers implanted and surgery to his lips so he has a permanent snarl.  He now wants a surgeon to graft tiger fur on to his skin, like a perma-wig.  Mr. Smith, who has changed his name by deed poll to Cat Man, said: "I have a collection of old tiger pelts from the days of hunting.  I want these grafted on to me.  It will cost another $100,000 but will be worth it.   When I have the coat of a tiger, I feel I will have reached my goal in life."  'Cat Man' admits "Of course people stare at me when I walk down the street, but that's the effect I desire.   For so long I have equated myself with the tiger that I decided to change myself into one."  "It's the real me.  So many men cross-dress without their partners knowing, or dress up and play cowboys or Civil War soldiers at weekends.   Me, I'm a tiger all the time and I love it.  I had my first tattoos done 20 years ago around my eyes and now my whole body is one pastiche of stripes and shading.  I am really proud of it all.".


Dating This Cat by Al 2000 Stewart (a/k/a Jack the Sailor)

Waiting for a Sci Fi movie, She was trying to cut in the line,
She went strolling through the crowd like Michelle Phiefer, looking so feline
She was dressed like a cat, she was so durned phat that their lives would never be the same
She didn't bother even to ask him, she just squeezed right in and said I'm Dating this Cat

She didn't give him time to question as she locked up his arm in hers
And he touches her in places we won't mention. until she purrs
With striped tattoos, grafted whiskers too he tells her what he wants to do
"One day," he says, "I'll get a pelt grafted too"
because you're dating a cat

{c:Bridge}
Well, she looks at you so coolly and her eyes shine cause she's very angry
She is insensed and unruly, Til she comes to realize
She is DATING A CAT.

Well, morning comes and she's still with him, and her reservations are gone
He is neater and cleaner than all other men so she's keeping him on
But he cleans up his sheds and she never dreads the litter box in the way.
She knows some day he'll scratch the furniture, but for now she's gonna stay
Dating this cat.
