(es) "I'm Afraid of Americans" is a song by English musician David Bowie, released as a single from his album Earthling on 14 October 1997 through Virgin Records. The song was co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno and originally recorded during the sessions for Bowie's 1995 album Outside; this version was released on the soundtrack of the 1995 film Showgirls. The song was then remade during the sessions for Earthling with his then-current band, guitarist Reeves Gabrels, pianist Mike Garson, bassist Gail Ann Dorsey and drummer Zack Alford. The remake was recorded between August and October 1996 at Looking Glass Studios in New York City and featured rewritten lyrics, overdubs and transposed verses. An industrial and techno track, it presents a critique of America through the eyes of a stereotypical 'Johnny' and is characterised by drum patterns, synthesisers, various loops and vocal distortions. Following its release on the album, Virgin Records issued the song as a maxi-single in North America only with six different remixes. The remixes were mostly created by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, continuing his and Bowie's association following the Outside Tour; the 'V3' mix featured Ice Cube while the 'V5' mix was created by Photek. Reznor subsequently appeared in the music video, which reflected the song's theme of a frightened European in an American city. A top 20 hit in Canada, the single peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 16 weeks on the chart. It was the final Bowie single to chart on the Hot 100 until 2015. Reznor's 'V1' mix has since appeared on several compilation albums. The song has received positive responses from critics and biographers. Rolling Stone named it one of the 30 most essential songs of Bowie's catalogue in 2016. Some American commentators later acknowledged the significance of the lyrics in the late 2010s. Bowie performed "I'm Afraid of Americans" frequently on his concert tours, from the 1997 Earthling to 2003 A Reality tours. Live performances have been released on numerous live albums. Reznor has performed the song live with Nine Inch Nails as well. (en) I'm Afraid of Americans est une chanson interprétée par David Bowie et produite par Trent Reznor (avec la contribution de Charlie Clouser), parue en 1997 sur l'album Earthling, puis en single (musique : david bowie + brian Eno / texte : d.bowie). Un clip a également été tourné pour l'occasion dont la réalisation a été confiée à Dom&Nick (réalisateur pour The Chemical Brothers entre autres). On peut y voir un David Bowie errer avec un air anxieux dans les rues de New York, poursuivi (?) par un Américain à l'air patibulaire incarné par Trent Reznor.

(pt) «I’m Afraid of Americans» (с англ. — «Я боюсь американцев») — песня английского певца Дэвида Боуи, выпущенная в качестве сингла с его альбома 1997 года Earthling. Песня, созданная в соавторстве Боуи и Брайана Ино, первоначально была написана во время студийных сессий Боуи для альбома 1995 года Outside, но не была выпущена до тех пор, пока ремикс песни не появился в саундтреке к фильму Showgirls, а затем был переделан для альбома Earthling. Будучи хитом Топ-20 в Канаде, переделанная версия песни также заняла 66-е места в Billboard Hot 100 и держалась в этом чарте 16 недель. Это был последний сингл Боуи, который попал в чарты Hot 100 до «Blackstar» и «Lazarus» после его смерти. (ru) |

| dbp:quote | 'I'm Afraid of Americans' was written by myself and Eno. It's not as truly hostile about Americans as say 'Born in the U.S.A.': it's merely sardonic. I was traveling in Java when the first McDonald's went up: it was like, 'for fuck's sake.' The invasion by any homogenized culture is so depressing, the erection of another Disney World in, say, Umbria, Italy, more so. It strangles the indigenous culture and narrows expression of life.
