Ka The Snake - Trust In Me

ORIGINATION Th Jungle Book
LAST LISTENED TO years ago
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT the tiniest of tiny
RATING

That sneaky snake Ka has man-cub Mowgli up his tree and is trying to hypnotise him into being his lunch. It starts with a solo clarinet (or some other woodwind instrument - i can almost remember when i used to know these things) that slowly lulls, before a relaxed tango begins the (ha) dance of (near) death. Then Ka starts to sing in his superbly sibilant voice. The whole effect is so mesmerising that listening to it just now i have nearly fallen back asleep, which just won't do. I'd better go and wake up.
