"Hard Charger" was Porno for Pyros' contribution to Private Parts: The Album, the soundtrack to Howard Stern's 1997 movie Private Parts, and it went out as that record's first single. Perry Farrell wrote the words and sings, the music is credited to the band, and Farrell produced it with John King.
The lineup is the story: Dave Navarro on guitar alongside Peter DiStefano, Flea on bass and Stephen Perkins on drums, a session that led Navarro and Flea into Jane's Addiction later that year. Leo Chelyapov adds clarinet and Karl Leiker works the sampler. The video for the radio edit spliced in clips from the film and got MTV airplay in February 1997; its director, Liz Friedlander, hid behind the Alan Smithee name.
