In 1984, Duran Duran released The Book Of Words, which contained lyrics to their songs. This was inspired by Jim Morrison's lyrics for The Doors' albums. Jeff from Boston, MaI always thought "Union of the Snake" was a reference to the United States - one of the early flags used in the American Revolution featured a snake with the slogan, "Don't Tread On Me". Guess I was way off! Susan from Airdrie, -Isn't that snake-ist? Ronnie from Huddersfield, EnglandDespite what Duran Duran sing about, there isn't actually an union established that allows snakes as members.

Aprenda a tocar a cifra de Union Of The Snake (Duran Duran) no Cifra Club. The first single from the band's third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger. The song features one of the band's catchier and exotic riffs, which I haven't been able to find online, so I came up with it myself. A lot of the song is complicated since the guitar parts played live are more audible and may actually be better that the album version, where it's hard to hear a lot of what is being played. Either way, the song is easy to get a hold of with the main riff and some barre chords to go with it. Here is the main riff played at the beginning.

Has this got an extended mix of ‘secret oktober’ on it? Possibly the best track they ever made.
Hawk Flying Hawk Flying
I have this version but the front side label of the disk is almost empty, none of the black text is visible, only the red "EMI" and LC 0542" and "ALL RIGHTS OF THE PRODUCER..." Misprint ?
Rageseeker Rageseeker
I have Monkey mix on label, but not on sleeve.

Five stars for Secret Oktober, zero stars for the title track.

"Secret Oktober" is their best B-side, and one of the better tracks to come out of the Seven & the Ragged Tiger sessions.
