"I'm Afraid of Americans" co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno, originally appeared as a rough mix on the soundtrack to the film Showgirls (in which the chorus is "I'm afraid of the animals" instead of the later "I'm afraid of Americans")
A CD single for "I'm Afraid of Americans" was released in the United States. The single did not include the album version of the song; instead, it featured remixes of the track performed by Bowie's former tourmates, Nine Inch Nails, and drum and bass artist Photek. The 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.
