Roland (B.B.) Deth – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988

“Peek-a-Boo” is a song by English band Siouxsie & the Banshees. It was released in 1988 as the first single from the band’s ninth studio album, Peepshow. Melody Maker described the song as “a brightly unexpected mixture of black steel and pop disturbance” and qualified its genre as “thirties hip hop”. “Peek-a-Boo” was rated “Single of the Week” in both Sounds and NME. Sounds wrote that it was a “brave move”, “playful and mysterious”. NME described it as “Oriental marching band hip hop” with “catchy accordion.” They then said: “If this nation was served by anything approaching a decent pop radio station, “Peek A Boo” would be a huge hit.”

“Peek-a-Boo” was one of Siouxsie & the Banshees’ most recognizable and popular singles; it was also the group’s first to chart in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, reaching the No. 53 in the week of 3 December. The song was very popular on alternative rock radio and received heavy play on MTV. In September 1988, Billboard magazine premiered a new Modern Rock Tracks chart, which measured radio airplay on US modern rock stations; “Peek-a-Boo” was the chart’s first No. 1 song. In the UK, “Peek-a-Boo” became their fifth Top 20 UK hit, peaking at number 16 in the Singles Chart.
