Union of the Snake
"Union of the Snake" is the ninth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran, released on 17 October 1983.

"Union of the Snake" was the lead single from the band's third album "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" (1983), and preceded its release by one month. 
It was originally titled, "The Union at Stake", when the band were interviewed on The Oxford Road Show in March 1983 before their first performance of "Is there something I should know?" on U.K. television.
It became one of Duran Duran's most popular singles, hitting number one on the US "Cash Box" and peaking at number three on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks at the end of 1983. Further chart movement was prevented by "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson and "Say It Isn't So" by Daryl Hall and John Oates. It also reached number three on the UK Singles chart.
