COLD SLITHER
Cold Slither band tour shirt. Remember that awesome G.I. Joe episode?...The G.I. Joe team raids Cobra's secret vault and thus very nearly bankrupts the evil organization. In a desperate attempt to keep Cobra functioning and solvent, Cobra Commander "packages" Zartan and the Dreadnoks as a heavy metal band called "Cold Slither" and turns them loose as Pied Pipers on America's youth. The Dreadnoks portrayed the band members and lip-synced a song (penned by the multi-talented Destro) containing subliminal messages. Upon hearing it, the listeners, including G.I. Joe team members Breaker, Shipwreck, and Footloose, were under Cobra's power. Like much of G.I. Joe's stock background music, it was recycled for The Transformers, minus the lyrics, serving as one of two generic source music tracks during the cartoon's run.
