"David Duchovny" is a song recorded by Bree Sharp about the titular actor. It was the first single from Sharp's debut album, A Cheap and Evil Girl. After Trauma Records heard a demo of the song, they signed her to a record deal.[1]

Though the lyrics are from the perspective of an adoring fan obsessed with David Duchovny and his role on The X-Files (with a chorus of "David Duchovny, why won't you love me?"), Sharp commented in a 1999 interview with Rolling Stone that the song's message can be interpreted in a more expansive way: "[The] song is about David, but it's also about the way fantasy and reality can blur, and how giddy, hot, and excellent that can be."[1]

Video

The X-Files set received a demo tape of the song that eventually reached Duchovny, who "kept on playing it"[1] in his trailer. Two assistants, Charles Forsch and Will Shivers, created a humorous video for the song for the set's Christmas party with permission from Sharp's label.[2] The video mixes clips of Duchovny with footage of X-Files crew members and numerous celebrities lip-syncing the lyrics, including Gillian Anderson, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Pamela Anderson, Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Jenna Elfman, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jane Leeves, Alex Trebek, KISS, and Jerry Springer. A complete list of participants is included in the credits at the end of the video.

Upon seeing the video, Sharp said that "it was so exciting, and so shocking, and underground, and wonderful. I don't know what to say about it except that it was one of the thrills of my life to see the likes of Charles Nelson Reilly, and all four members of KISS, and Brad Pitt."[2]
