Fact #169656

When:

Short story:

Siouxsie And The Banshees release a new single, a cover of The Beatles' Dear Prudence, in the UK.

Full article:

Steve Severin (bassist, The Banshees) : We recorded that in Sweden, Europe., and the idea came from touring round Scandinavia, listening to The Beatles' White Album. That album has always been an influence on the way we work.

One of the main reasons we chose it was that John Lennon's version sounds a bit unfinished. There's also the background behind why he wrote it, that was supposedly to do with an attempted rape on Mia Farrow's sister, by the Maharishi.
