Faster Kill Pussycat


"Faster Kill Pussycat" is the first single from Paul Oakenfold's 2006 album, A Lively Mind. It features American actress Brittany Murphy's vocals and was co-written by singer-songwriter Kelli Ali. The title of the track is a play on the title of the movie Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!.
