    Default Identify: Song about a guy cursed with snakes

    I heard this song a lot on the local college station about 2 years ago and have since decided to track it down. Lyric searches have turned up nothing, but you guys might be able to help.

    Here are the lines that remember:

    "Snakes in the bushes, hanging down from the trees" (repeats a lot)
    "Steady killing snakes, I'm on a snake killing spree"
    "Dead snake keep's a'livin' until the evening sun goes down"
    "(something) snake charmer, put them snakes on me"

    "snake charmer" might actually have been something else, too.

    Anyway, that's all I can remember... please help me track down the artist and title?

    Thanks!

    Hm, what style is the piece you're talking of? Metal, Rock, Pop...?

    North Mississippi Allstars- "snakes in my bushes"

    Snakes in my bushes, hanging down from the trees
    Snakes in my bushes, hanging down from the trees
    Last snake charmer put them snakes on me.

    Snakes in my bushes, spiders climbing up the vine
    Snakes in my bushes, spiders climbing up the vine
    Snakes run me crazy, murder on my mind.

    Steady killing snakes, I’m on a snake killing spree
    Steak in the snakes, I’m on a snake killing spree
    Find a snake doctor, get them snakes off me!

    Dead snake keep livin’ til the evening sun go down
    Dead snake keep livin’ til the evening sun go down
    Won’t turn them loose, still they’re twitchin’ ‘round.

    Snakes in my pillow, snakes underneath my bed
    Snakes in my pillow, snakes underneath my bed
    Goin’ snake crazy, snakes all in my head.
    Its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice
