In the U.S., the hit version of "The Snake" was released in 1968, on Johnny Rivers' Soul City Records. (Rivers had released his own version of the song on his 1966 album ...And I Know You Wanna Dance). Wilson's single made the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968 and, due to exposure on the UK Northern Soul scene, made the UK Singles Chart in August 1975 when reissued, reaching No. 41 in September.[4] The success of "The Snake" on the northern soul nightclub circuit has led to it being ranked 4 of 500 top northern soul singles and for it to appear on over 30 pop and northern soul compilation albums.[5][6][7] The song was re-released in 1989 as a B-side to a re-release of "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely" by The Main Ingredient.[2] Wilson's recording of "The Snake" was also featured in a Lambrini television advertisement in the UK.[8]

The song was featured in season 4, episode 25 of the television show Northern Exposure, "Old Tree". It was sung by Cynthia Geary in her role as the character Shelly Tambo. The episode originally aired on May 24, 1993.[12]

The song gained renewed attention during the campaign for the 2016 United States presidential election. Republican candidate Donald Trump read its lyrics at several campaign rallies to illustrate his position on illegal immigration, claiming that the decision to allow people claiming refugee status to enter the United States would "come back to bite us", as happened to the woman who took in the snake in the song.[13] "The Snake" has been characterized as "a celebration of black culture and a repudiation of racism", and suggestions have been made that the snake in the song refers to a white person.[by whom?][14] Two of Brown's seven children asked Trump to stop using their late father's song, telling the media: "He's perversely using 'The Snake' to demonize immigrants" and that Brown "never had anything against immigrants".[15] Despite a cease and desist letter, Trump has continued reciting the lyrics at rallies as recently as June 2021,[16] and again in September[17] and December 2023.[18]

The song, a 1968 soul hit, tells the story of a woman who takes in a snake and nurses it back to health, only to be bitten by the snake once it's recovered. Trump thinks it's the perfect metaphor for why the US shouldn't accept Syrian refugees and needs to get "tough" along the US-Mexico border.

Before speaking with Business Insider late last week, Alene Wilson-Harris, a daughter of Wilson, who died in 2008, said she conferred with her father's brother and his best friend to help best come to a conclusion on how her father would've felt about Trump reading the song at his rallies.

"While I think that he would've had, at least some sort of appreciation for the fact that his music is appreciated by Trump to the affect that he would utilize the song, there are some things in my father's life that may have been an interesting perspective for him to have to grapple with in light of how [the song] was used," she said. "And, some of the things that are the platform of Trump."

In using the song, which Trump has at many of his rallies, he sometimes credits it to Al Green, another famous soul singer of the same era. He's also said the song, which he calls a poem, was written in the 1990s.

"So this is called the snake and this has to do with people coming into our country, and I'll think you'll enjoy it," he said before reading the song's lyrics at a Florida rally last week. "Let's see. And more important than enjoy, I think it'll make a point."

During his rendition, the Republican nominee takes a couple of liberties with the lyrics, such as adding in a "like we're doing," after reading the line, "Oh well, she cried, I'll take you in." He also added "vicious" in front of "snake" during one of the songs final verses, seemingly to make an added point.

"We don't want him using these lyrics," Brown's daughter, Maggie Brown, told The Chicago Tribune in March. "If Dad were alive, he would've ripped (Trump) with a great poem in rebuttal. Not only a poem and a song, but an essay and everything else."

Introduction:  In Eswatini in Southern Africa, rural populations experience unnecessary snakebite-inflicted injuries and deaths. Children are at the highest risk because of their small size and curious nature. This qualitative study explores the current knowledge and attitudes about snakebite, and the perceptions of a musical intervention, titled Iculo ngenyoka ('Snake song' in Zulu), as an educational tool aimed to raise awareness about snakes in the Lubombo region, Eswatini.

Results:  The current sources of snake education evolved from information learned in the homesteads, schools, and through personal experiences. The majority of interviewees perceived music as a culturally appropriate, engaging and memorable method to learn about snakes. Iculo ngenyoka was perceived as an effective tool to raise awareness about snakes in the community.

Conclusion:  This study is the first to explore the importance of musical interventions in educating vulnerable communities about snakes. The Iculo ngenyoka song offers a portable medium for communicating messages about snakebite prevention, affirming the value of snakebite awareness and promoting cooperative efforts to address the burden of snakebite envenoming in the region. The results emphasize the demand for education and the potential use of Iculo ngenyoka and similar musical tools to raise awareness about snakebite in Eswatini. Re-translation and other customizations of structured musical education tools for children could be applied broadly if shown to be effective.

With any game where most of the students remain seated, I highly suggest making sure they have some other action to perform beyond singing. In this case, I would ask them to pat/tap/clap the rhythm of the song as they sing it. Since the snake will be tapping the steady beat, this will give students both a visual and kinesthetic example of syncopation.

Together with Polo, his partner, Chino sets snake traps along the banks of the river. When the body of an American is found in one of his traps, alarm bells start ringing in the mining organization.

Welcome to the year 2019 where someone is offended no matter what you say or do! Our Carolina boy, Eric Church, performed "The Snake" during Sunday night's ACM Awards alongside Best New Female Artist, Ashley McBryde. Their performance had an ominous feel but I personally liked the new song. Meanwhile on Twitter..... some country fans thought Eric Church was disrespecting women.

Eric explains the meaning behind the song in the video below. "The Snake" is about politicians who care more about keeping people worked up so they can keep their position rather having the heart for the people they represent.

Donald Trump read the lyrics to Al Wilson's 1968 R&B song \"The Snake\" during a rally in Iowa Tuesday night to illustrate what might happen if the United States allows Syrian refugees into the United States.

Donald Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, made a habit of quoting from the lyrics of a controversial song apparently warning against immigration during his first successful campaign for the American presidency.

In Metal Gear Solid 3, Harrell's vocals from the song will play during the lengthy ladder-climbing sequence, in which Naked Snake makes his way up to the Krasnogorje mountaintop. Another version of "Snake Eater," unofficially known as the "The Boss Mix," will play during the fight with The Boss when five minutes are left in the fight. At that point, the song will play up to the chorus and then replay from the first verse with vocals. After that, the song will play through normally and conclude with the dramatic sting. Another version of "Snake Eater" also exists, known as the "Abstracted Camouflage" mix. Bars from the final instrumental portion of the song are also heard immediately after Ocelot calls the DCI.

In Metal Gear Solid 4, the opening drum beats from "Snake Eater" will sometimes play when the player equips the Patriot. The full song itself is also used as the music for the third phase of the Final Battle between Solid Snake and Liquid Ocelot on top of Outer Haven. It can be unlocked as an iPod song by collecting all emblems, and will give gameplay bonuses when played during combat.

A piano version of the song is played in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker during flashbacks relating to The Boss as well as during both instances where Big Boss attempts to remove the memory drives. It is an unlockable song for the Walkman.

"Snake Eater" is also available as a collectible cassette tape in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, found at Outpost 21 in the Angola-Zaire border region. In addition, the song, or rather, the variant used for the final five minutes of the battle against The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3, will also be made available for BGM in the version 1.02 update for Metal Gear Online 3, titled "MGS3 THE BOSS.

The EP's six songs were were written after COVID forced Thelma to leave London while in the middle of writing and recording her second full-length album. Returning to Brisbane, she began a new body of work written between Brisbane lockdowns and floods.

Southeast Asia has a great diversity of snakes, but we still have much to learn about them. Anne Devan-Song, currently a PhD candidate in the USA, shares some of her experiences of working with snakes in Southeast Asia and why this region needs more attention.

Yes, for the most part. My undergraduate degree focused on molecular and cell biology, but I gravitated towards the environmental sciences. My Masters focused on wildlife management and human-wildlife conflict. My PhD incorporates field biology with quantitative tools using several different wildlife systems, including snakes!

I am working on an integrative approach to studying snakebite envenoming, which is a neglected tropical disease. I also recently worked with an undergraduate student (Soyeon Kim) for her honours thesis at Oregon State University, where she explored mathematical models to characterize snakebite risk. e24fc04721
