Wikipedia article




"'Faster Kill Pussycat'" is the first single from British producer Oakenfold's second studio album, 'A Lively Mind' (2006). The song features American actress Brittany Murphy's vocals and was co-written by singer-songwriter Kelli Ali (former vocalist of British trip hop group Sneaker Pimps). The title of the track is a play on the title of the movie 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'.

"Faster Kill Pussycat" peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart in June 2006, becoming Murphy's highest-charting single in Britain. Outside the United Kingdom, the single reached number one on the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart and number two on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Airplay chart. It also peaked within the top 20 on the charts of Ireland and New Zealand.

Music video



The music video, shot on the rooftop of a parking garage in downtown Los Angeles, features Brittany Murphy dancing, with scenes of Oakenfold as a DJ and a wild crowd. Directed by renowned music video director Jake Nava, it premiered on television in May 2006, and received airplay on MTV and other music channels. It was also a pre-loaded video on Microsoft's Zune.
