I first heard thtis story in another form. A man finds a snake in the desert and puts it in his bosom to hide it from hunters for a reward and when the hunters leave, the man asks for his reward and the snake answers, "Where shall I bite thee?" Then I heard it sung on "Northern Exposure" by Shelley. I finally found it on this site. Thank you. I love it and it should be heard by any woman who has had a snake in her life.

Great song with very suggestive lyrics based on the male Phallic symbol. I first heard it in 1967 by the Liverpool Five on the flip side of their " Anyway that You want me" RCA single. It's also on their " Out of Sight" Album and just found it on "The Best of the Liverpool Five" cd on Sundazed Records.Oscar Brown Jnr wrote the song and offered it first to the LP5. Al Wilson's version is still great.

Listen and Learn--these lyrics should be REQUIRED READING for every Woman in the World

[kenfoye]

yeah, as if there isn't enough male-bashing in the world. Women can be devious "snakes" too ...

[railwalker1]

Most men are wonderful but there are some snakes among them.. A really smart girl  learns how to "handle" the snake before she takes him home...

And you're 100 % right--some of the worlds most dangerous snakes wear lipstick,powder and paint..

[RENEEEE1000]

You can't telll the sex of a snake until you bring it in to your home. It can be either male or female, The song fits either one.The rattler at least warns you first.

[hwaj5300]

Hi REneeee1000

In this case it was a female who took the snake in.Now watch MAN EATER on my site. and tell me the sex of the Man eater

Thanks

Fokin great song and awesome message!

[debbie299]

OMG!! Awesome video and it sends a GREAT message!!! Thank you for sharing!!

[MarNegroDelaMariposa]

Great video, well interpreted with graphics to further experience the song...and the moral of the story is: A snake is a snake and predator indeed, one that can not be trusted! Thanks for uploading, good job!

[KJ0012]

hey im 12, my dad was born in the really earyl 50's so he has many record players and 2 jukeboxes (not joking he has over 200 hunderd records) this is my favorite, I admit, I love metal, punk, emo, and hard rock but I still love the classics!

[khj93play]

maybe there is hope for you!

[swaffer08]

awsum

[nilsclash]

fantastic what more can you say

[tiptoe221]

Excellent video. How true this song is vis-a-vis people.

[AceTheBathound]

Yeah, it sure is. It also reminds me of an old Buddhist fable about a scorpion that betrayed and killed a tortoise as the tortoise was carrying him across a stream... as the tortoise was going down, he asked the scorpion why; the scorpion said that it is in my nature...

Isn't that the truth, though?

[noxinsox1]

I am sure it is not sending out a message to females "beware of men" however, it sounds like it!! classic track anyhow

[derynlouise]

what a song!! :D Reminds me of Scooter Rallies Good times :D

[icollectsongs]

Al performed at the Fallbrook, Ca. fire benefit in November of '07 and stole the show.

His talent as a performer was awesome!

He brought people to their feet for a standing ovation after only several songs,

and extended his performance with an impromptu medley that brought the house down.

His "Weeping in the City" and "We're Gonna Need One Another" seem to apply for today's troubled world. His vibrant, uplifting, enthusiasm for life will be missed. May Heaven welcomes you back home, Al.

[broomsage]

Great John Fogerty song sung only as Al Wilson could do it. Nice Video.

[sliv812]

Rest in Peace, Al.

:-(

You will be missed.

[IDLERACER]

This song was the missing link between "Secret Agent Man" and "Love Her Madly."
