Look out, country balladeers—there’s a new suitor in the “lovemaking mix,” and he’s calling from inside the (big) house.
Joe Exotic, the (in)famous star of Netflix’s Tiger King, just unleashed his latest track, “I Have Dreamed of You,” penned from his prison cell.
Yes, darlings, the same Joe Exotic currently serving a 21-year sentence for plotting to have rival tiger-enthusiast Carole Baskin taken out, plus various violations of the Endangered Species Act.
Who says incarceration can keep a man from dropping a musical masterpiece?
Released on Valentine’s Day (because of course it was), the track is available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music—an intriguing trifecta of low, twangy vocals and unabashed romance.
The official YouTube video even features Joe’s fiancé-slash-fellow inmate, Jorge Marquez Flores, who’s apparently the muse behind the love song.
Talk about a prison-yard romance worthy of daytime TV!

And oh, the fan reactions. One enthusiastic commenter declared they’d be adding the song to their “lovemaking mix,” though we remain uncertain if that was sarcasm or sincere gratitude.
Another listener admitted they’d spun the track every day for their man since it dropped—hey, who are we to judge another person’s date-night soundtrack?
One witty observer even labeled it “Kid Rock for gay people,” leaving fans guessing if that’s praise, shade, or some bizarre combination of both.
Meanwhile, Joe Exotic’s supporters are still touting the “Free Joe Exotic” mantra in hopes of a presidential pardon (again!).
It’s a hail-Mary pass if we’ve ever seen one, but these fans apparently aren’t giving up.
Whether you love him, hate him, or can’t quite resist the spectacle, there’s no denying Joe’s got a knack for commanding attention—tigers or not.
So, if you’re the curious type—or simply need a new bedroom ballad—maybe slide this track into your next playlist.
After all, it’s not every day we get a would-be country star dropping behind-bars tunes for an inmate-fiancé.
And if there’s one thing Joe Exotic’s taught us, it’s that just when you think his story can’t possibly get any more outlandish, he roars back (pun intended) with something new.
Happy listening, kittens!
