LONDON -- Remember that nightmarish Planet Earth II clip of a pack of snakes chasing a fleeing iguana?

Well, it turns out it's a lot less nightmarish when you play around with the soundtrack.

Since the clip went viral yesterday, people on Twitter have been remixing the music, replacing the ominous overtones and the dulcet sounds of David Attenborough's voice with a variety of brilliant soundtracks.

And finally this deeply intense music, which is actually quite scary (but which also has the perfect conclusion).

Good work, internet.
