------------------------
“The Passenger“ is a song by Iggy Pop and Ricky Gardiner, recorded and released by Iggy Pop on the Lust for Life album in 1977.
It was also released as the B-side of the album’s only single, “Success“.
In the summer of 2007 alternative rock radio stations around the USA resumed playing the song in accordance with Iggy Pop and The Stooges tour in that country.
The lyrics, written by Iggy Pop allegedly aboard Berlin’s S-Bahn, have been interpreted as embodying the nomadic spirit of the punk outcast.
Guitarist Ricky Gardiner composed the music.
While it possesses a distinctive riff, “The Passenger“ is perhaps most recognizable by its chorus, on which David Bowie sings back-up.
The Passenger was included in 2008’s The Pitchfork Media 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present.
In 1998 the song was released as a single in the UK after being used in a TV commercial for Toyota’s new Avensis.
The single peaked at #22.
In the media
In 2010 the German mobile phone provider T-Mobile launched their “Welcome Home“ flash-mob advert on British television. Amongst the songs performed using only voices was “The Passenger.“
The song has been featured in the movie Radiofreccia, TV spots for the film Waking Life, the television show 30 Days, the film Jarhead and the 2002 video game Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX 2. More recently, the films Up in the Air and The Weather Man featured the song on its teaser trailer, and is played in a shop early in the film. It can also be heard in Kurt Cobain About a Son, the documentary exploration of the life and influences of the late musician. Scarface: The World Is Yours includes the song on its music selection menu. It was also used in a series of Kohl’s commercials advertising the new “Simply Vera“ line of clothing designed by Vera Wang. Guinness used the song for a television advertisement featuring an airplane flying through a pint-glass-shaped valley with clouds representing the beer’s foamy head. The instrumental lead-in riff of this song is also the intro theme music for the CNN program Anderson Cooper 360. The song is also included in the music/rhythm game Lego Rock Band, complete with a Lego-style avatar of Iggy Pop at vocals.
In a 1998 Toyota Avensis car advert,this song was used.
