BTW, I will go out of my way to avoid corporations that exploit great songs for their advertising—although that may not really be fair to the artist.
Yeah, cuz buying stuff and selling stuff and having jobs and food and a living wage is just such a bad thing..no way we would ever want a song asociated with sumtin like that! |

Animal and reptile-kind are NOT the enemy against which we should be on guard.  I hear ya. It's visceral for me. Frankly, the human "snakes" do real snakes an injustice. Give me a real snake any day. . . just don't ask me to touch it. |

I have this on my MP3 player, and it really got me through some tough times at work. I can't help but rate it a 10 - anything that saves my sanity or my life gets a ten automatically.

I love this song. It pulls my focus back to where it should be, and puts a silly grin on my face in the process.
Nine,for now, but I'm betting that the way things are going, it'll escalate to a 10 soon. Why does life have to be so hard?
brianbf1986 - too true. I think the worst times in my life were when I didn't have music to help me get through them. I made it, but it wasn't pretty. I guess I just need to remind myself to sing, dance, laugh, and have music as a mainstay in my life. Thanks for the wise words!  |

Amazon has this track for sale as a download hereAnd NOW I understand the previous post about the "original version" — this song is not a remake of another person's song, but rather a "remix version" of his original (of which there are several remix versions). Alas I was exposed to this Earth Version first, so I prefer it over the original... |
