Does anyone remember that song from the 90's or early 2000's that: *Had a woman singing with a grungy voice *Was on popular radio stations a lot *Had another title but was mainly known as the "snake tattoo song" because the overall "plot" of the song was this woman going out for a wild night and waking up to discover her tongue pierced, a snake tattoo, etc. Do you know what song I'm ...
