I'm Afraid Of Americans

About

"I'm Afraid of Americans" is a song and single by David Bowie from the 1997 album "Earthling". The song, co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno, originally appeared as a rough mix on the soundtrack to the film "Showgirls" and was subsequently remade for "Earthling". This version and two of the "Nine Inch Nails" remixes were released on the bonus disc of the Digibook expanded Edition of "Earthling" in 2004. The song is sampled for a remix of "Company Flow's" "Patriotism" when El-P performs it. A CD single for "I'm Afraid of Americans" was released in the United State. The single did not include the album version of the song; instead, it featured remixes of the track performed by Bowie's former tourmate, "Nine Inch Nails", and drum and bass artist "Photek". The "(V1)" mix became more popular than the original version, largely in part of the accompanying video, leading to its appearance on the retrospective "Best of Bowie". .
