For the second straight day we pick a song from a disco luminary who generated some of his best work for cinema. Giorgio Moroder produced and mixed the soundtrack to 1982's Cat People, which is, naturally "An Erotic Fantasy About The Animal In Us All." Let IMDB.com fill in the blanks with some plot keywords including "Male-Female Relationship," "Strong Sexual Content," "Sex," "Bondage" and "Zookeeper."
Moroder was also behind the soundtracks to both Scarface and American Gigolo, but today's track bears little resemblance to "Vamos A Bailar" or "Call Me." David Bowie stretches the bounds of androgony into the rest of the animal kingdom and meanwhile nails the vocals. I've had two people ask me if it's Johnny Cash singing the first couple of minutes but, while that's not a bad guess, the build to the finish is vintage Bowie.
Listen to Cat People (Putting Out Fire) (zshare) by Giorgio Moroder featuring David Bowie vocals.
