	"Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)" (2006)

"Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)" is the first single from Cobra Starship, the alter ego of Midtown's Gabe Saporta. The song also features William Beckett of The Academy Is..., Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, and Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds. The song gets its title from the 2006 film Snakes on a Plane, and was featured on the film's soundtrack and during the end credits of the film. The music video premiered in the summer of 2006, aptly in time for the premiere of the movie. The video was a quick hit on both the internet and mainstream media, and is featured in the television commercials promoting the film.

The video entails Cobra Starship (Gabe Saporta) as well as the other artists featured in the song walking through an airport, acting as the villains who sneak the snakes on board in their suitcase and guitar case. Peter Wentz of Fall Out Boy makes a cameo appearance at the 1 minute and 45 seconds mark, talking on the phone nervously as the band members pass ominously. Samuel L. Jackson also makes a cameo appearance at the 2 minutes 16 seconds mark, lowering his shades and eyeing the band members as they pass, then returning to his 100 Bullets comic. The video ends with a sign for South Pacific Airlines Flight 121 as the band boards the plane, the same flight as in the film.
