Lyrics below:
Creeping up the backstairs
Slinking into dark stalls
Shapeless and slumped in bath chairs
Furtive eyes peep out of holes
She has many guises
She′ll do what you want her to
Playing dead and sweet submission
Cracks the whip deadpan on cue
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Reeking like a pig sty
Peeling back and gagging free
Flaccid ego in your hand
Chokes on dry tears, can you understand?
She's jeering at the shadows
Sneering behind a smile
Lunge and thrust to pout and pucker
Into the face of the beguiled
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Golly jeepers, where′d you get those peepers?
Peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?
Strobe lights pump and flicker
Dry lips crack out for more
Come bite on this rag doll, baby
Well, that's right, now hit the floor'
They′re sneaking out the back door
She gets up from all fours
Rhinestone fools and silver dollars
Curdle into bitter tears
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Golly jeepers, where′d you get those weepers?
Peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?
Golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?
Golly jeepers, where′d you get those weepers?
Peepshow, creepshow, were did you get those eyes?
Where did you get those eyes?
Where did you get those eyes?

When I went to the first Lollapalooza in the early 90's, Siouxsie came on at dusk, and totally set the stage for the final act ending with the headliner, Jane's Addiction. That was an incredible day and lineup way back then, all the acts were amazing, and some stood out and were simply stellar. Without a doubt, it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@markoutram7589]

TP - I think you're right, Mate. I know that S&tB's re-did the backing tracks several times to get that sound which involved quite a bit of backwards-studio-trickery (I don't know the technical term for it). Interestingly enough, around the same time this came out I seem to remember, Elvis Costello did an album called something like 'Spike - The Beloved Entertainer' which featured similar studio trickery - must've been something-in-the-water back then, I guess ! Still, a very arresting song, production AND video - first time I've seen it since '88. Years ahead still.

[@winniewinkles]

Yeah I wonder if David Lynch pinched an idea or two- the beaked creeping men for example!

[@ELEcomments]

that makes a lot of sense why it sounds the way it does!

[@sos4550]

Whatever they did, it came out very well

[@j_freed]

Not all of it. It is based around the brass part reversed from an earlier John Cale session. If you reverse TOO much stuff the listener loses reference. This can be listened to an analyzed for quite a while though! I really like how asymmetric the song bits are too, it's hardly predictable. The way the bass hits come in randomly and the beat changes up. ONE guitar chord played in the whole song.

Siouxsie set the stage for everyone goth. The Cure are far more famous in the US, but Robert Smith would be nothing without her, and in-fact, when The Banshees have been between guitarists he's toured with them as their guitar player, standing off quietly on the side of the stage playing his part while the true legend leads. Check out the songs "Spellbound" and "Happy House".

[@Shrykespeare]

Billboard Magazine debuted the "Modern Rock" chart on September 10, 1988. Peek-A-Boo was the very first song to chart at #1. Though the chart's had a few name changes and format changes, it still exists today. But Siouxsie and the Banshees will always have this kudo.

Yes. It's a song about men who are sick of having their privacy invaded by the likes of Elsa Hall.

[@asherouk7308]

“Alternative” was just how the big corporates killed indie music (artists and independent labels). The parallel movement behind the scenes was all the takeovers of independent labels, which accelerated after the Wall Street crash of 1987. But go back just ten years, and in 1978, in the wake of the nascent punk movement, labels like Cherry Red, Rough Trade, and Mute had started up, and a support structure soon followed, including independent pressing, distribution and promotion. By January 1980 there was an Indie Chart, officially called the UK Independent Singles and Albums Charts. Around 1985 Music Week started compiling it’s own indie chart. While in the US many college radio stations were playing what Rolling Stone et al disparagingly called “jock rock”. Then by 1990 almost every major record label had formed their own “indie labels”, diluting the original Indie Chart from 1980. Actually, many alternative artists of the 1990s were really just failed pop stars given an “indie makeunder” by the big labels. And real indie got swept under the rug...Cue the phoney, apolitical apathetic rebellion of grunge and the New Labour Patriotism, anti-punk nostalgia of Britpop.

Strobe lights pump and flicker Dry lips crack out for more Come bite on this rag doll, baby Well, that's right, now hit the floor They're sneaking out the back door She gets up from all fours Rhinestone fools and silver dollars Curdle into bitter tears Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo (golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?) Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo (peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?) Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo (golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?) Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo (peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?) Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo (golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?) Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo (peepshow, creepshow, were did you get those eyes?) Where did you get those eyes? Where did you get those eyes? Source: Musixmatch

Just read about the sexual abuse she suffered as a child and these lyrics nod to that, unfortunately. Chilling.

[@mymindpictures]

This song is a production masterclass

[@henrym6411]

Siouxsie and Budgie are amazing. But hats off to that accordion player!😂

[@joaoignacio1978]

Martin McCarrick, from This Mortal Coil and Therapy?

[@joakimlundgren7043]

The accordion makes the tune resonate with "folk horror" ambience. Some may think it sounds like they imagine a music break in a witchcoven could sound like.

[@musiciansmatter190]

This is the first song I heard that rocks the accordion & made it sound cool & makes me wanna dance. 👍🆒🎵

[@colinratford416]

this lady is simply .....uber n lovely, enjoy!

[@jenneast8611]

I remember seeing this on MTVs 120 minutes at night.

[@zx-7788]

Imagine listening to this song while 2 cops get brutally murdered behind you and not even noticing.

[@davidhoffman1969]

I remember the first time I heard this song in 1988 and felt I had finally found my band. I wore this tape out.

[@dirkhussey3550]

I love all Siouxsie and the Banshees songs .Because they transport you back to the time of Real Punk rock.

[@professormause]

I heard her say that this track's music is actually going backwards ! Doesn't it sound better ?

[@Ravedaze.]

I still have this on 45rpm record! :-)

[@TwoTonedT]

I swear this is the only song that really stuck in my brain from the early 80's

[@sallyjoan]

what brain?

[@paulrichards1357]

Listening to this with my granddaughter this morning......class.

[@Solicyte]

Piiiiiiikachu! Piiiiiiikachu!

[@lydieluck7753]

Love this song and it’s kind of cabaret style...so inventive!

[@amgeezy_2709]

Has stranger things used this song? They could chart it again like “Running up that hill” or any modern dj could kill with this mixed in their set.

[@mredmundo247]

A sonic masterpiece. The song that introduced me to Miss Siouxsie and the wonderful banshees. Always ahead of the curve.

[@RoyalWulffDry]

Once again, its 100% legal to slap a millennial if they disrespect Siouxsie.

[@thunder_heads]

It's 100% legal to say "ok boomer"

[@Be12397]

RoyalWulffDry funny! Lol I agree 💯!

[@Be12397]

Kewpie Doll as long as you’re not dogging Siouxsie, yes, ok boomer is allowed. 🤣

[@94memyselfni]

RroyalWulfDry, 🤣

[@sb6678]

This song always makes me think I'm sailing on a pirate ship for some reason, especially during the accordion solo part

[@diogenesagogo]

I always think of Morris dancing. From an alternative universe of course.

[@TarotMage]

I always got a New Orleans vibe from the song -- probably the accordion and the masks. Very Mardi Gras with a voodoo undercurrent.

[@toniacarey6666]

I....what have you done? I....feel now I should wear an eyepatch to this unforgettable song.

[@franciscocarlos1979]

Verdade.Maravilhoso o solo de acordeon.

[@darrenremington6422]

Captain pugwash 🤣

[@kevinjohnson3119]

First time I saw this video I was hooked. Definitely something different and special about this band. Changed my whole taste in music. Siouxsie was captivating, and the lyrics and music were brilliant. Sheer mastery.

[@yungbludandpalayeroyalestan]

it sounds like pikachu to me help 😭😭😭😭😭😭🔮🔮

[@guilhermecipriano8959]

Jeepers creepers

[@atittle45]

Q: Where do you take a child who's been injured playing peek-a-boo? A: To the ICU.

[@geminidreamatl26]

the instrumental music sounds like something Peter Gabriel would do.

[@JohnJano]

When I come back to this now, I see this is a true masterpiece! The music and the video!

[@andrewhillis2269]

Those beaked creeping men remind me of the plague doctor that was seen in East Anglia during the first lockdown ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@emilyclark5307]

i was looking for peek-a-boo by RedVelvet but this came up instead and i'm not mad, this is actually quite good.

[@Ophiuchus123456789]

What I love about this song the most are the lyrics. Most of Siouxsies lyrics are awesome and relate to a story or something. This one has serious dark undertones, similar to Candyman.

[@antjohn4490]

20 people are tone deaf

[@stclemmons1969]

WTF... Oct '18 and 82 tone deaf folks???? At least 4.3k have ears.

[@nickmorrell3559]

Such a great off kilter song .she's amazing ..along with Debbie harry and Chrissie hynde .best three frontwomen ever

[@mannyman8212]

Only person suitable and cool enough to play Siouxsie in "Sid n Nancy" with Gary Oldman was Siouxsie herself.

[@jackfitzpatrick8173]

I had never heard of Siouxie & The Banshees until I saw this on Beavis & Butthead. I was fascinated...and the rest is history.

[@kathygonzalez1413]

Me too 😊

[@sickdog420]

The Creeper sent me here

[@damiencorazzi5972]

This clip has a David Lynch feeling that I love. Or is it just me ?

[@Kains_Gaming_Channel]

Who's here because they heard this song on Jeepers Creepers?

[@tedwojtasik8781]

When this first came out it blew me away. I had been a huge fan of Siouxsie since Juju was released but when Peepshow was released I was floored. Tinderbox is a masterpiece but Peepshow was such a collage of different sounds, and Peek a Boo was unlike anything I have heard before or sense. Siouxsie is a Goddess 🙂
