Snake Eater was written by Norihiko Hibino and performed by Cynthia Harrell for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, released in 2004. Designed as a tribute to classic James Bond title songs, it plays during the opening and the famously long ladder climb that later became a meme itself. The track spread through gaming videos, remixes and soundboards for its emotional, over-the-top delivery. The Portuguese phrase in this version's title reflects how Brazilian fans share it as a command to stop talking and appreciate a legendary gaming anthem.
