I'll never forget the night I first saw this video as long as I live. I was housesitting for my grandfather Irv who was in the VA hospital at the time. It was late, lightning storm outside, it was really the perfect setting.

I was half asleep and watching the real MTV's 120 Minutes program when this goddess shows up on my tv screen. After seeing this video I was never quite the same again, musically. I had to search out more of this kind of music in general and her in very much particular.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Siousxie And The Banshees covering Iggy Pop's immortal "The Passenger". Enjoy, won't you?

"I thought I'd start by singing one of Irvin Berlin's songs, but I thought,
why should I? He never sings any of mine! I'll sing "San Fransico" to get
it all going, right?. (sings) I left my heart in San Fransisco, I left
my knees in Old Peru, I left my little wooden leg somewhere in Winnipeg,
I left my wig in Darkland Zoo with you, I left my teeth on Table Mountain,
high on a hill, they smile at me! When I go back again to San Fransisco,
(all together) there won't be much left of me."
