Snapshots #240: A Top Ten Snake Songs (Different Species)

Yesterday, I gave you a photo of Kurt Russell, aka Snake Plissken in Escape From New York.

Today, I give you a photo of Sylvester Stallone, aka Lieutenant Marion Cobretti from the movie Cobra. Sadly, I couldn't find a picture of Cobra holding a camera, so you get Rambo holding a camera instead. Taking a shot at a Monarch, by the look of it. Rambo is terrified of butterflies, you know.

Anyway, here are ten songs about different types of snakes. Aficionados of 80s action movies get extra clues! 

10. Devotees of 104.

104 is 10 to the power 4. Or 10,000. Devotees are maniacs.

10,000 Maniacs - Pit Viper

9. Monks who make a hash of it.

Doobie Brothers - Cotton Mouth

8. In truth, jello needs mixing well. 

"In truth jello" was an anagram...

Jethro Tull - Black Mamba

7. Essential on a parachute.

What good's a parachute without a rip chord?

The Rip Chords - Hey Little Cobra

6. I see a frozen innuendo. 

Test Icicles - Boa Vs Python

5. Like the Artist Formerly Known as Fluck.

Diana Dors was born Diana Mary Fluck.

The Doors - Crawling King Snake

4. I can ink Jim.

Anagram!

Nicki Minaj - Anaconda

I advise you not to watch that video. It'll make you feel old. 

3. Found inside a Creme Egg.

REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

2. Probably a friend of George Duke and Keith Baron.

I presume Dukes and Barons knock around with Earls.

Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

1. Coldly, Leo makes a racket.

"Coldly, Leo" is an anagram of someone who likes to make a Commotion.

Don't push me! There will be more Snapshots next week. If you don't push me.
