"Tiger " is a song by the Swedish pop band ABBA . The song was released on the 1976 album Arrival .
History
[ edit ]
"Tiger" is written from the perspective of a threatening entity warning the listener of the dangers of the city: "People who fear me never come near me, I am the tiger".[1] The exact meaning behind "Tiger" is debated, although most speculators agree "tiger" is used as a metaphor for dangerous aspects of city life. Some hypothesize the tiger represents a stalker or serial killer , while others believe the tiger symbolizes the harmful nature of illicit drugs .[2] [3]
The vocals for the song were sung by Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad .
[ edit ]
In the 1977 concert tours, the song was preceded by "the sound of helicopters booming over the speakers".[4] ABBA also performed the song in the film ABBA: The Movie .[5]
Music video
[ edit ]
The music video for "Tiger" features all four members of ABBA dressed in denim clothing riding in a Chevy at nighttime.[6] It was aired on the "ABBA-Dabba-Dooo!" TV special.
Critical reception
[ edit ]
Bright lights, dark shadows: the real story of Abba described the song as "rocky".[4] The Guardian described the song as "gripping".[7]
