The song, co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno, was originally written during Bowie's studio sessions for the 1995 album ''Outside''〔"David Bowie: The FI Interview" by J.D. Considine, Fi magazine, October 1997, pp 36-41〕 but was not released until a rough mix appeared on the soundtrack to the film ''Showgirls'', and was subsequently remade for ''Earthling''. ==Background== Bowie describes the feelings behind the song: 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 () first McDonald's went up: it was like, "for fuck's sake." The invasion by any homogenised 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I'm Afraid of Americans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
