Species (film)

Species is a 1995 American science fiction horror film directed by Roger Donaldson and written by Dennis Feldman. It stars Natasha Henstridge, Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker and Marg Helgenberger. In the film, a motley crew of scientists and government agents tries to track down an alien seductress played by Natasha Henstridge before she successfully mates with a human male. Due to her ruthlessness, the alien character was cited as an example of negative treatment of female sexuality and aliens by the Hollywood film industry. The design of Sil was also linked to a chupacabra sighting.

The film was conceived by Feldman in 1987, and was originally pitched as a film treatment in the style of a police procedural, entitled The Message. When The Message failed to attract the studios, Feldman re-wrote it as a spec script, which ultimately led to the making of the film. The extraterrestrial in Species, an alien woman named Sil, was designed by H. R. Giger, also responsible for the beings from the Alien franchise. The effects combined practical models done by Giger collaborator Steve Johnson and XFX, with computer-generated imagery done by Richard Edlund's Boss Film Studios. Giger felt the film and the character were too similar to Alien, so he pushed for script changes.

You like me (you like me)
I know you do
Don't fight me (don't fight me)
I'll undress you too
You can bite me (you can bite me)
I know you like it rough
Insatiable, she can't get enough
Ayayaya-ah
Never seen a girl so fly-ayayaya-ah
I'm all around the world, you got that fire-ayayaya-ah
She must be a alien, tearin' up every bed she layin' in
What is your species? (What is your species?)
I love the way you smell (I love the way)
What is your species? (What is your species?)
I don't know and I can't tell (And I can't tell)
Take me there, oh, take me there
Take me there, oh, take me there
Take me there, oh, take me there
Take me there, oh, take me there
Cutie don't purr it (growl)
And a unique scent makes primates wild
The opposite's the same but we're all attracted
Acting like you're not means you're just acting
Hold up! (hold up) It's the war of the worlds
They formed it in the shape of a girl
No super hatiest tans and she eats up men
Phone home cause you're not alone
She's outta here (way out) of my atmosphere (way out)
If you never had it you'll never will
Cause if you got it, you pay the bill
You know what I'm thinkin' (I do)
You can see right through me
I'm kickin' (you are?) from what you do to me
The lights go out, she comes on
I want some (but where are you from girl?)
Oh My God baby I really want (want some more?)
I'm really trippin' (off of me you are?)
Now baby listen I think I'm fallin' (fallin' in love with me?)
How do you know? (what you're thinkin?)
You have no idea
[Outro]
Baby, what the hell are you?
