about

Nobody can doubt that Bitey the Lion had a transformative effect on The Saga of the European King when he was introduced. Young viewers came in their millions, enthralled by his antics, disrespect for authority and smart mouth. The flagging franchise was revived and the merchandise options became practically unlimited.

Bitey appeared on everything from lunch boxes, pajamas, toothbrushes, adverts for the Green Cross Code and kidney dialysis machines. In 1991 he even had his own hit single that was number one in the charts for sixteen weeks - that Christmas you couldn't move, shop or sleep without hearing 'The Bitey Bop' aggressively blared at you from hidden speakers and passing cars.

Historian Nicolai Roos has produced this remaster of the old favourite so you can relive that magical December of 1991 all over again.

lyrics

Stop
Now bop

Grandmaster ObNOX:
HIT EM BITEY, BOI!

Bitey:
I'm Bitey the Lion,
Just doin' my thing
Like a supercharged ion
With my homie, the King

I've seen all of the earth
From bottom to top
And I've noticed a dearth
Of serious bop

When I'm at the party, shaking,
Chowing prime hiphop
Shoot my nine till it's breaking
Macking girls with my spitswap

Then alla sudden – psych!

!!!

Whoooooooaaaa

That's something I don't like
Cos the music takes a flop
So I step up to the mic
And I crank out the Bop.

Grandmaster ObNOX:
DON'T STOP!

Bitey:
I am dancing to this music

It explodes in your brain
Like a poisonous mushroom
But you know the beat you're layin'
Don't needa check the stockroom

They were slapping round like fishes
Now they up and feeling fresh
Like mama's well washed dishes
Strained through her finest mesh

And I don't take drugs

The party's born again like me
Lamb's gettin' with the lion
I'll save you too for free
And that is no lyin'

It's real easy, just move and hop,
From head to toe and toe to top
Don't stand there gaping, do I hafta call a cop?
Come on everybody and do the Bitey Bop


Grandmaster ObNOX:
BITE ME IN MY FACE
