"Pistol of Fire" is a song by American rock band Kings of Leon. It is the fourth track on their 2005 album Aha Shake Heartbreak. Characterized by Caleb Followill's raspy, southern-drawled vocals and a dirty guitar riff, the song is very uptempo. Some have speculated that the song's subject matter revolves around incest, though this is unconfirmed. A cover version of the song was inlcluded as a bonus track on Mark Ronson's 2007 album Version. It is also featured in the 2008 film Cloverfield and the 2007 film Full of It with Ryan Pinkston.
