I had this soundtrack on cassette. I played the hell out of it. Very early 90s. I mean, essentially every U2 song sounds the same, but it is the title song for the film. The song was also put on Achtung Baby so I'm guessing there are people who are familiar with the song but didn't realize the movie even existed. Film trailer: Playlist for the full soundtrack, has REM, Elvis Costello, U2, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave and more...

Not obscure, but I remember as the mescaline kicked in and the movie started with this song and scene, I turned to my girlfriend and said, "this is gonna be ****ing good"
The actress played Helen is Helen Wood credited as Dolly Sharp in her adult films. Her life was incredible and sad at the same time. Helen Wood @1:30 "Dolly Sharp was the p*rn name of Juilliard-trained violin child prodigy and Broadway and Hollywood actor Helen Wood (1935-98). Wood first agreed to appear in Deep Throat in the mistaken belief that the film would be seen by an extremely small audience. Sharp's acting career stumbled and she quickly fell into obscurity. Her brief p*rn appearance all but ruined her chances of acting again on Broadway and in mainstream cinema." (link) Spoiler: more Whatever happened to Deep Throat’s Dolly Sharp? Suddenly the film was everywhere. Stills from it were being reprinted in magazines. The race was on to find out more about the people involved. Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems became celebrities, Gerry Damiano was supposedly being courted by Hollywood, and the intelligentsia clambered over each other to offer their opinions. Helen went to ground in shock. Her boyfriend Billy Love disappeared. She’d had a vague plan to start teaching dance or the violin to children at some point, but her world was turned upside down now that everyone seemed to have seen ‘Deep Throat’. How could she turn up at a school or at some kid’s home and expect not to be identified? And how could she protect her son from this crazy melee? The last straw was in 1974 when Harry Reems was arrested in New York by federal agents. ‘Deep Throat’ was widely reported to have been financed by associates of the Colombo crime family, and the authorities were looking for blood. Helen took her son, grabbed her few possessions, and left town never to return.
