The soundtrack to this summer's strangest movie phenomenon, Snakes on a Plane, is proving as buzzworthy as the ridiculously premised (yet brilliantly titled) film itself. "I started hearing about it on the Internet," says Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who helped put together the disc's lineup of pop-punk all-stars, including Panic! at the Disco, the All-American Rejects and The Academy Is. . . ."The title alone is the best thing ever. I just really, really, really wanted to be involved in it." Around the same time, Midtown frontman Gabe Saporta proposed that his new supergroup, the aptly named Cobra Starship (above, with SOAP star Samuel L. Jackson), contribute a track; the result, "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)," is currently burning up the Web. "The movie was gaining so much momentum online that bands wanted to be a part of it," says New Line Records executive VP Jason Linn. "This is gonna go down in 2006 the same way there was Clear Pepsi, Reebok pumps and Garbage Pail Kids," says Wentz. "Did anyone ever take them seriously?"
