A video was shot for the song, which is a performance of the group in the Hollywood club Cathouse, co-owned by vocalist Tamie Down, against the backdrop of shots from the Russ Meyer movie Faster, Pussy! Urine! Urine! , in whose honor the group was named. The clip was shot by Meyer himself and became his directorial debut in the field of music videos. [2] On the reverse side of the single, the song “Cathouse”, written by Down, was dedicated to both brothels (which are also called American slang) and the Cathouse club. In the same year, a film by Penelope Sfiris Chuvaki was released , in which “Cathouse” was performed.
In 1988, a documentary about the Los Angeles glam scene from 1986-88, The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years , also shot by Penelope Sfiris, in which along with the participants Poison , Tuff and Aerosmith , was interviewed by Faster Pussycat, as well as the group performed the songs “Cathouse” and “Bathroom Wall”.
The concert version of Cathouse has become a free app for the 257th edition of the British magazine Kerrang! released in September 1989. It was placed on a flexi disc along with the song “Touch 'N' Go” by another American band, Femme Fatale.
Despite the fact that the main song of the single was “Don't Change That Song”, the most popular was “Cathouse”, as evidenced by its inclusion in the remix album Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy (2001), the live album Front Row for the Donkey Show (2009) and Greatest Hits: Faster Pussycat (2003), while “Don't Change That Song” only hit the hit collection.
