Siouxsie & The Banshees – The Passenger (Llllloco-motion Mix) (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“The Passenger” is a song written by Iggy Pop and Ricky Gardiner, recorded and originally released by Iggy Pop on the Lust for Life album in 1977.

English rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees covered “The Passenger” in 1987 for their all-cover-versions album Through the Looking Glass. The group revamped the song by adding brass arrangements. Released as the second single from that album, it peaked at number 41 in the UK singles chart.

Iggy Pop praised their version and stated: “That’s good. She sings it well and she threw a little note in when she sings it, that I wish I had thought of, it’s kind of improved. The horn thing is good.”

The song was featured at the end of Tonya Harding’s biographical film I, Tonya (2017).
