Rattlesnakes – The Song

Rattlesnakes is a song by the British band Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, released in 1984 as the third and final single from their debut studio album of the same name. The song was written by Lloyd Cole and produced by Paul Hardiman. It peaked at number 65 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the top 100 for three weeks. Cole wrote the song’s lyrics inspired by the works of American writer Joan Didion. He took the main character from Didion’s 1977 novel A Book of Common Prayer and “inserted her into the landscape” of her 1970 novel Play It as It Lays.

The Rattlesnake – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a Rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes are venomous snakes. All rattlesnakes are vipers. Rattlesnakes are predators that live in a wide array of habitats, hunting small animals such as birds and rodents. Rattlesnakes receive their name from the rattle located at the end of their tails, which makes a loud rattling noise when vibrated that deters predators. Rattlesnakes are the leading contributor to snakebite injuries in North America, but rarely bite unless provoked or threatened; if treated promptly, the bites are seldom fatal. The 36 known species of rattlesnakes have between 65 and 70 subspecies, all native to the Americas, ranging from central Argentina to southern Canada. The largest rattlesnake, the eastern diamondback, can measure up to 2.4 m (7.9 ft) in length.
