Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant
The punk Godfather IGGY POP scored a timeless classic with
THE PASSENGER from his superb 1977 LP Lust For Life .
Over the years it was covered multiple times. One of the best is
by Siouxsie And The Banshees who covered it for their greatest
hits album Through The Looking Glass in 1987.
Now Pop and Siouxsie recorded a new version of the song together for an ice cream commercial. They slowed it down and gave it an extra glammy and glittery treatment.
It’ll make them a lot of money, but it’s a pretty lukewarm version. The original and
the Banshees 1987 take are untouchable. I rather wake up with those versions
on my headphones than this MAGNUM one.
