Buzzie, Flaps, Ziggy & Dizzy (L-R), the singing quartet of vultures from Disney's Jungle Book were actually modeled after The Beatles. Though John, Paul, George and Ringo did not provide their voices, the vultures were still caricatured with shaggy hair, matching postures and English accents.

The Jungle Book - Tiger by the Tail
Baloo literally catches a Shere Khan by the tail, referring to an ancient Asian idiom. To catch a tiger by the tail means to blindly place oneself in a dangerous situation that will bite back if (or when) it is not handled properly.
