This is my favorite Mars Volta clip for a few reasons.
1. you can see the intense energy of the band.
2. The snake like movement Cedric does is according to a friend of mine who is a heavy practitioner of santeria, a movement which a person does when they are possessed by a certain "god" of santeria. The reason if you notice the entire band avoids looking at Cedric when he is crawling like a snake is because according to santeria if you look into the possessed persons eyes you yourself would also become possessed. Additionally the possession commonly takes place when heavy drumming is happening which it is in the clip.
All that coolness of this clip coupled with the bizzare santeria facts makes me like this clip a lot.
