Rest area by the on-ramp of the highway to the danger zone...
Actually, I don't care at all about the video - it's the born-to-be-mild MIDI version of one of the power pop anthems of the 1980s that thrilled the little cockroaches of my heart. Enjoy.
Then try to forget.

Beautiful in so many ways! Are you my soulmate?
Pythons have lots of nasty needle sharp teeth, like musical fangs that sink into your mind.
mechuahua - Darling! Either that, or we're twins!
dirtcrashr - It certainly looked uncomfortable. I'd say it'd be wise just to avoid them altogether. Then again, they do make lovely shoes and handbags.
...listen to her howlin' roar
More like ...listen to her pained whimper
Sad, too sad.
Thankfully this "music" hasn't made it into the spa rotation yet.
Otherwise I'd have killed myself already.
christina - HAW HAW! Spot on, m'dear! Yeah - it's like a Muzak version of Muzak. Eep.
Reminds me of an incident back in college...
Our Biology department had a reticulated python in a large cage on rollers that they would trundle out to a class every now and then.. problem is, they broke one of the cardinal rules of snake ownership, in that you MUST take the snake out of its cage to feed it-if you just chuck its prey into the cage, it will get conditioned to strike every time the cage is opened up. One day, one of the profs was doing a lecture, had the snake cage, opened it up and took a peek inside. WHAM! big snake struck, shook the whole cage and latched onto the dudes face. While pythons are not venomous, having one latched onto your face with its backwards pointing teeth in your flesh (so the prey cannot escape) is a highly unpleasant experience, so I'm told. Couple hours later, the hungry snake and embarrassed prof were finally separated (tooth-by-tooth) with the comment "well, it could have happened to anyone".
A week or so later, a new t-shirt design was seen throughout the Bio department, with a picture of the prof, the snake and that very same comment. Ahhh, good times...
Kevin - wow- tough and embarrassing public lesson for a professor to learn, eh? What I don't understand is the bit about it taking a couple hours. I would've had the body off me within minutes, courtesy of some bolt-cutters, and then would come the sticky business of removing the rest of it. Yeah, those backward-pointing needle-teeth make them not-desirable pet material, in my opinion. Besides the fact that snakes are stinky.
Well, it took so darned long because they were very careful not to harm the snake :)
I'm with you re the bolt cutters, personally... although this sucker was well over 10 feet long...
kevin - well, one could always start at the tip of the tail and snip away at the snake until it either lets go or expires and may be cut away. I'm not overly fond of snakes, anyhoo- 'specially a biter.
