Hey, hey, hey, it's Freddy's Friday Night Dance Party!
And I'm gonna play a song for you…
It's a bit of an embarrassment for me not you…
You'll have some fun now, as I make jokes about my wang…
Learning from each other, while we do our thang…
Na, na, na, gonna have a dance party, with Fre-e-ddy!
Sorry, I think I got carried away there for a second with the Fat Albert thing. Speaking of Fat Albert, I wonder if there was ever a porno version called Prince Albert? If not, there should be.
Anyways, if you paid attention to my dope lyrics, I mentioned that I have a bit of an embarrassing dance party track for tonight. I am a wicked music snob and pretty much hate most modern commercial music. I like some current bands, but they are few and far between, and none of them are played on the radio from what I know. However, once in a blue moon a song infiltrates my better judgment, and I find myself liking something that I probably shouldn't…a guilty pleasure if you will. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen, and that would be the case with tonight's tune, Snakes on a Plane (Bring It!).
Ah yes, Snakes on a Plane, the 2006 phenomena starring Samuel L. Jackson, an airplane, a whole bunch of snakes and a ridiculous plot. Ridiculous, yes but an entertaining plot nonetheless, and as outrageous as the idea of snakes attacking people on an airplane is, the film became a pop culture sensation, transcending B-Movie status. Everyone seemed to be fascinated by it, but not enough to actually go and see the film in theaters based off the poor box office numbers it received. I personally had one of the best theatrical experiences with Snakes on a Plane, but it was definitely due to the right movie, the right mood and the right group of friends. A few beers might have been involved too, but what's that have to do with anything?
Snakes on a Plane (Bring It!) was the debut single from Cobra Starship and appeared on the bands first album, While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets as well as the Snakes OST. The song has a slew of guest appearances, which would almost ensure that it would be successful, and I always kind of thought Cobra Starship was formed for this one song in particular. I mean, their name is Cobra Starship and their first song is Snakes on a Plane (Bring It!)? Seems a little odd. Even odder is the (Bring It!) portion of the songs title…seriously? (Bring What?) Like, do they want the snakes to (Bring It!)? If so, that is a losing battle unless they have Sam on their side, and I bet he only helps out the white chick, who is pretty hot in a coke head sort of way. Betcha he lands his snake in her cockpit in that scenario.
