  • The INCREDIBLE Tiffany Mann lends her immense vocal talent on our take on the highly requested "Snake Eater" from Metal Gear Solid 3! An incredible tribute to all things James Bond, I was thrilled to give this legendary piece of video game music the sexy jazz orchestra treatment it deserves! The animation style is inspired by the idea that Metal Gear Solid would have made an awesome 16 bit style Metal Slug side scrolling shooter game! Hope you enjoy!
    Also just to say it, this video was recorded about a year and a half ago well before the age of COVID! So no worries about safety

      I know they are working on an MGS movie with Oscar Isaacs, and the director seems to be passionate about MGS. I hope they eventually get to MGS3. I've been obsessed with the idea of a live action Snake Eater since I first played it all those years ago. Gimme Big Boss taking down Cobras one by one, being beaten and battered the whole way through. I always had in my head the film showing the toll it takes on Big Boss, physically and mentally. Give me a scene like in Die Hard where John's feet are torn to shit from glass, and you FEEL every injury from earlier in the movie. THAT would be satisfying 😌👌

    For those that don't know, Ms. Tiffany Mann is the daughter of David & Tamala Mann who does a lot of acting with director Tyler Perry (Madea movies, Meet the Brown (starring her parents), plays, etc.) Tamala Mann is an INCREDIBLE gospel singer herself.

      feels a bit off in parts. A *very* nice delicate touch, but lacking power and punch at certain parts where expected... I think it might be the way the sound is mixed.
      Yeah the more I watch I can definitely see her putting the effort in, so it isn't her... Shame.

    I'm searching and I'll melt into you
    What a fear in my heart
    But you're so supreme!
    I give my life
    Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
    In my time there'll be no one else
    Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
    I'm still in a dream, snake eater
    Someday you go through the rain
    Someday you feed on a tree frog
    It's ordeal, the trial to survive
    For the day we see new light
    I give my life
    Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
    In my time there'll be no one else
