Here's yet another distinctive version. Below are lyrics from CD liner notes, Chrissie Hynde's Pretenders version, from 'Loose Screw', 2002 :- Walk Like A Panther - - last song track, #12, 4:40 secMiguel has set up homewith a woman half my agea half-wit in a leotardstands on my stageThe standards have fallenmy value has droppedbut don't shed a tearsome walk like they own the placewhilst others creep in fearTry if you canto walk like a manbut if you don't come nearyou've got to fly like an eagleprowl like a lion in Africaleap like a salmon home from the seato keep up with meyou've got to walk like a panther tonightThe old home town just looks the samelike a derelict man who has died out of shamelike a jumble sale left out in the rainit's not goodit's not rightThe standards have fallenmy value has droppedbut don't shed a tearsome walk like they own the placewhilst others creep in fearTry if you canto walk like a manbut if you don't come nearyou've got to fly like an eagleprowl like a lion in Africaleap like a salmon home from the seato keep up with meyou've got to walk like a panther tonightWhere did you leave your self respectyou like look like a reptileyour house is a wreckyour existence an insultand stains that are suspectcover your clothesThe standards have fallenmy value has droppedbut don't shed a tearsome walk like they own the placewhilst others creep in fearTry if you canto walk like a manbut if you don't come nearyou've got to fly like an eagleprowl like a lion in Africaleap like a salmon home from the seato keep up with meyou've got to walk like a panther tonightwalk like a panther tonightto keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther...--------------------------Other notable performances are by TOTP and Tony Christie. (Top of the Pop)--------------------------The debut album 'Pretenders' was released in January 1980, and was a great success in both the United Kingdom and the United States, both critically and with chart-topping sales. 'Pretenders' was subsequently named one of the best albums of all time by VH1 (#52). In March of 2005, the Pretenders were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ranked #7 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll. Ranked #89 on VH1's 100 Sexiest Artists. -- Chrissie is still ROCKING really good! -------------------------- PANTHER from 'Wikipedia':'Big cat' distinguishes large cat species from smaller ones. One definition of big cat includes only the four species of cat in the genus Panthera: the tiger, lion, leopard, and jaguar. Members of this genus are the only cats able to roar, and this is sometimes considered a distinguishing characteristic of big cats. A more expansive definition also includes the cheetah, snow leopard, clouded leopard, and cougar. The roaring cats may also be distinguished from the other big cats by referring to them as "great cats".Family FelidaeGenus Panthera (roaring or great cats) Leopard, Panthera pardus (Asia and Africa) Lion, Panthera leo (Africa, Gir Forest in India) Jaguar, Panthera onca (Mexico to northern Argentina) Tiger, Panthera tigris (Asia) Genus Acinonyx Cheetah (Africa and Iran) Genus Puma Cougar, Puma concolor (North and South America) Genus Uncia Snow Leopard(mountains of central and south Asia) Genus Neofelis Bornean Clouded Leopard (Borneo and Sumatra) Clouded Leopard, (southeast and south Asia) Three of the four largest cats are members of the genus Panthera; the cougar is the fourth largest cat, exceeding the leopard in size. Some medium-sized cats like the Eurasian lynx may weigh as much as 30 kg (66 lb), but they are not considered big cats.Despite enormous differences in size, the various species of cat are amazingly similar in both structure and behavior. All cats are carnivores and efficient predators. The lion is a species in the genus Panthera.Folk etymology derivation from Gk. pan- "all" + ther "beast" from L. panthera, from Gk. panther, probably of Oriental origin, cf. Skt. pundarikam "tiger." ---------------------------Disclaimers: The 'girl' at 0:43 is copied from a recent (controversial legal) Lee Jeans (Lolita) ad campaign. Chrissie Hyndes is an outspoken defender of wildlife, and I'd hope she would like this little homemade panther walkin' video. Any inferrences about any actual people or cats either alive or dead, real or fiction, or really anything made from this video ... well ... It's not good, it's not right.You've got to walk like a panther tonight.Enjoy, ~ 1236bigcat
