A big (talking?) snake gets zapped in the Harry Potter movie Chamber of Secrets. Electric Light Orchestra performing "Don’t Let Me Down." The famous Spam skit from Monty Python. (python, get it…) The only part of *the* quote from the movie Snakes on a Plane we could put on the air. Duran Duran with the song "Union of the Snake."
