Have known this song for quite a while as a fan of the great Johnny Rivers, just realized this is what PDJT is quoting. Awesome!

Has PDJT ever said which side he's on? The woman or the snake? He may be a secret snake supporter. hehe

@Unstable Genius great point! that puts a lot of responsibility on the listener, to be discerning. that's the genius of the fable.

One of the most underrated singer ever........he was really good

I came here because of POTUS

He broke your pea brain?

He sings about Arab refugees :-)

Moral of the story.... it was the snakes nature. Just like the scorpion and the frog.

This man could sing the phone book and I would love it . What a very talented man ❣️

he sings about refugees :-D

This dude try to cover, almost every Black song that came out from the 1950s and 60s.

DEKMAN99 So?

Johnny is so great

Not a patch on Al Wilsons

He should have invested in some female background singers for the repeating chorus, instead of silhouetted go go dancers.

This man can do any song justice

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ..... $$$ PRICELESS $$$ ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

👍👍👍KOSOVO IS SERBIA KRIM IS RUSIA VUKOVAR IS SERBIA DONBAS IS RUSIA BOSNA IS SERBIA KRIM IS RUSIA VUKOVAR IS SERBIA DONBAS IS RUSIA BOSNA IS SERBIA KRIM IS RUSIA VUKOVAR IS SERBIA KOSOVO IS SERBIA KRIM IS RUSIA

Hope to see you again at knuckleheads KC Mo !

Jihnny Rivers!!!Amazing performer.So handsome.

He's singing about the Muslims.

If he didnt screw Elvis in ' 64 he'd be in the Rock N Hall of fame...

Trump..the snake..

Fuck off troll!

Oddly, I have never heard of this "hidden" song until I saw a clip on CNN news. CNN interviewed the original songwriter's daughters about the association between the late Mr. Oscar Brown Jr. (songwriter) and "#45".

Tom Jones needed to do a version of this song

The song is about how women have a caring nature, and take in men who the rest of society has rejected because they are trouble. Later when the Snake (the troublesome man) betrays the woman, she is confused because she had thought that with love and compassion he would change. He then informs her that she knew he was a Snake from the start.

...weak interpretation...

Do you have a better interpretation?

I used to volunteer helping women ( some guys too; there are actually men whose relatives  or caretakers beat them up, deny them food,  verbally demean them, keep them "imprisoned,"  etc.) fill out Temporary Domestic Restraining Orders .   It HORRIFIES me just how much most of my people's  STORIES  paralleled THIS SONG.  C.H.

I'd give a nickle for a moment with that dancer in the background on the left.

great !

destroy all liberals!!!!

My ex husband.

No kidding ! Well, he was a great entertainer. Hope you have happy relation with him now. Lord help us all.

YES 60s dancers

Pres. T. just used this at his PA rally. Great moral of the story here.

That tender hearted woman was Melania Trump.

Couldn't be Michelle thats a ManVestite

The song is all about the muslims invading Europe. You take pity on them and then they bite your bottom.

Of course this song would have been known by heart, by a fraudster who had ripped-off a long parade of business partners and investors, and now the voters have taken him in. He warned you, losers.

Waaahhhh keep crying, libshit! Trump 2020! AHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA

U have no taste

A GO GO ERA in CLIMAX!!! oooooooooooooooH GREAT!!!

This Tune's About A Woman Who Finds A 16 Inch Long Porn Cock Whilst On The Way To Work....It Would Be Funny To Watch Her Reviving It... :-)

the snake love those songs by Johnny rivers

Ann Robinson this is by Al Wilson...

It was written by Oscar Brown in 1963. Johnny Rivers produced the original sung by Al Wilson and later sang it himself.

JR sang it before Al Wilson, IIRC Al Wilson's single was 1968 & JR did it on "And I Know You Wanna Dance" in 1966

Who would have thought this song would be revived by Donald Trump by comparing the snake to Syrians. (speech, Everett, WA aug 30).
Donald, the snake, the Royal shape shifter.

Never knew this version existed until now. I only knew the Al Wilson version.

best version, by far, is the original by the author, Oscar Brown Jr.

Nick name for Johny Rivers contest: I call him the "jukebox". anybody?

Everything he sings, I can't help but love.

That's because like the mysterious young lady that has you snagged , she (he) shows a different part. What I call a "bad girl" no matter what moral code she lives by. I have never seen him so animated-

On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had been revived
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
"I saved you," cried the woman
"And you've bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in"?

I think the girl on the far left has had a 6 pack of Red bull.

Shinx990---More like a 12 pack!

Didn't exist at that time :-)

The girl on the left loves Crystal Meth

They were just happier back then. I was a musician. Girls had more energy and laughed a lot more before the liberal agenda "freed us" to be ourselves. Irony.

Is this song supposed to be good?

you have to go back

+K Lu It's supposed to be a prophecy to predict the uprising of islamic territories.

Its a fable with a meaning. Good for snake, bad for woman.

BUILD THE WALL!

TRUMP 2016

Repeal & Replace McConnell, McCain & Ryan !!! :) Thanks for posting these Ron (no matter what side of the political isle you reside on !)

Trump 2020 KAG 🇺🇸

fun-tastic !! Johnny Rivers sings a song with a 2500 years old story from an ancient Greek wise man named Aesope !!!

+Gi Karadi more like -4 years from the posting, this was written by Trump.

@xbon1 It was used by Trump. Trump was comparing the refugees from the Middle East. The Islamic refugees. Trump probably knew the tale.

Be better not having to wade through the idiotic political comments. Can't we just enjoy the music, peckerwoods?

Oh Trebor you bitter old left wing ass, fuck you fatso. Trump is awesome, deal with it.

Trebor- Only *the right* is allowed to say, "Keep your politics out of entertainment!". Being snowflakes and all.

I would LOVE IT if all entertainers/celebrites/performers stopped inflecting their ideologically isolated perspectives on the the public. However, as long as this "silent coup d'etat" exists by the left-wing media, some of us need to "rise up" & set the record straight

My favorite version on You Tube is by the Liverpool Five. It accentuates the double entendres and adds some humor too.

Interesting that Johnny Rivers could have written this 50 years before Obama came along. The man must have been a psychic.

+hitemstr8 For all we know, it was meant for your man, Trump. LOL.

The devil plays the snake and the devil is the liar.

fk u very much

Song was written in 1963 by Oscar Brown. I always thought that this was written about the kind of male defendants usually seen "now entering the courtroom of Judge Judith Sheindlin"

JR never wrote this, neither did Oscar Brown in 1963. Everyone knows this is from an Aesop Tale and he lived 620 to 560 BC.

I love seeing Johnny being so playful as he imitates both the woman & the snake ! He always makes me smile!💓💓💓

This song reminds how the women of America were fooled by Obama-Twice--What a Snake this Man Is....................

And now? You have T-Rump....great choice, dipstick

My 401K says he's a great choice ! :)

Randy Beard like you

HEY friends & OTHERs... "Mr. Volunteer" (on down the list) said CNN had the song's author Mr. Oscar Brown Jr.{deceased} HIS daughter on sometime ago (during Campaign)... I THINK he meant every word OF IT! ...he's from Chicago
ya kno.... I enjoyed Donald's rendition.

I love Johnny but Al Wilson kills it!

Linda Nolan - actually Johnny did the song before Al.  It was on Johnny's "And I Know You Wanna Dance" album (included "Secret Agent")  which was released in 1966.  I believe Al did his version in 1968.

+JGUIGNARD I believe Johnny Rivers produced Al Wilson's version, which is a cover of his own version (almost similar arrangements which really differ from Oscar Brown Jr 's original)

The girl in the left side was ripping it up!

+matt m
and well never get to know who that energizer bunny was

matt m---That she was. Wish the lighting was better to see all of them! Plus the one next to her was doing a pretty good job too! 😍

I like this version but the Liverpool Five's is better. Check it out on You Tube.

@Michael Delarey and Easter Bunnies

@Makez Muzic ... made my day :-) :-) :-)

He enjoys this song so much,  makes me wonder?
Where did all this emotion come from?
Maybe women should beware?
I am sure any woman in the room will take him home in a minute.

i had the same feeling like he had a dose of adderall . he is a perfect specimen. The teeth we got to see today lol

Mucho ,mucho rock  en los boliches

Love this song!!!!
