Curiosity Killed The Cat – Misfit (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“Misfit” is the debut single by English band Curiosity Killed the Cat, originally released in August 1986. The song was not particularly successful and only reached number 76 on the UK Singles Chart. However, the following year, after the success of “Down to Earth” and “Ordinary Day”, “Misfit” was re-released in June 1987, upon which it was much more successful, peaking at number 7 in the UK.

In the United States “Misfit” peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and number39 on the Billboard Dance chart.

The music video was directed by Andy Warhol and also features a cameo appearance by him. It was also one of his last assignments before his death the following year. The band met Warhol at an exhibition in Mayfair and he took a shine to bass player Nick Thorp. He then invited the band to a banquet he was having later at the Café Royal and said he was interested in hearing some of their music. After listening to “Misfit”, Warhol said he’d ‘love to do a video for you boys’ after Phonogram had said they weren’t going to make a video for it. The video was then shot in New York in a week.
