Cat People [Putting Out The Fire] (5:08)
43,225 plays (8,850 listeners)
This song was first recorded for Paul Schrader’s 1982 remake of the film Cat People with producer Giorgio Moroder. Schrader engaged Bowie for a theme song in 1981, with Moroder having already recorded most of the music. Bowie was to put lyrics to the main theme. The words only had a basic relation to the film.
Later it was used for Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds” of 2009. Despite being anachronistic, the lyrics are related to the plot, occuring when a character is contemplating arson. The lyrics also mention “one thousand years”, and the song appears in the film immediately after several characters drink a toast to the “Thousand Year Reich”.
