Isaak enjoys 'Bad' press

When it comes to putting the "sin" in cinema soundtracks, Chris Isaak is becoming a master. Back in 1990 Isaak's song Wicked Game from the steamy film Wild at Heart became a top-10 hit. Now Isaak's Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing, from his 1995 album Forever Blue, is causing a stir because it's the soundtrack of the first clip from the late Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, starring in-the-buff Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The Isaak song, as the clip's sole accompaniment, has sparked considerable inquiries as to its identity. That led Isaak's record label, Warner Bros., to promote it to radio, hoping that history will repeat. Speaking of a repeat, Isaak will star in a follow-up to Wild at Heart called Sailor and Lulu out of Africa. He'll reprise Nicolas Cage's Sailor role from the earlier film.
