what is the name of this song

@lizardlord4k

very true. after looking it up a bit, almost every culture accredits divine knowledge to snakes, from the aztecs to aborigines. even in judaism and early christianity they are supposedly linked with angels, even the word seraphim is derived from serpent. Even the snake in the garden of Eden was an angel, although it was the fallen angel lucifer. All primates instinctively fear snakes...it is just written in our DNA. They are powerful creatures.

@bitterzombie While I do agree Snakes do make for awesome villains (and I love snakes and other reptiles BTW), it isn't true that they where seen as symbols of evil, this is only true in Genesis in the Bible, snakes in other places in the world (like India fittingly enough) are seen as symbols of willpower and cunningness. One of the best examples of this is the Hindu god Shesha ("king of the snakes") being one of Vishnu's highest servants.

@Ogopogo57

would you rather they be friendly and cute? cobras aren't exactly meant for giving hugs. Snakes have been associated with evil for thousands of years, if you have a problem with that you should take it up with the guys who wrote the bible. meanwhile this kids movie is actually entertaining because of those badass 'hissing demons'.

ogopogo57, are you voldemort?

[Ogopogo57]

-_-

wow, this is pathetic. if snakes could talk, they would NOT be hissing demons. Snakes are highly misunderstood by everyone (btw 1:52 i felt like vomiting), and this is just tragic.

Rest in Piece, Raja Naag. Although barely anyone on this world will miss you, I will ='(
