Originally written by Lemmy Kilmister for the German band Skew Siskin, it plays over the opening credits of the 1994 film ''Airheads'' in which Lemmy makes a cameo appearance. The song was released as a single in November 1994, featuring Lemmy, Ice-T and Ugly Kid Joe lead singer Whitfield Crane.

A special 12" vinyl picture disc pressing was made, using the same picture as the CD single release.

Killed By Death (song)
"Killed by Death" is a song by the English heavy metal band Motörhead. Released in 1984, in 7" and 12" vinyl pressings. It peaked at number 51 in the UK Singles Chart. Promotion To assist its promotion in the United States, Bronze/Island pressed a 12" promo version for radio play (identical versions on both sides). It is one of the most difficult to find of all Motörhead items. There is also a video made for the track, directed by the manager of the Plasmatics, Rod Swenson, which was banned by MTV for "excessive and senseless violence". Despite relatively high-profile exposure on TV programmes such as Channel 4's '' The Tube'', the single failed to make any significant impression on the UK Singles Chart. This proved particularly disappointing to Lemmy, who at live shows regularly made joking references about its lack of sales. Releases The original song is not included on any official release albums except the compilation album '' No Remorse'', along with three other new ...
