Siouxsie and the Banshees, an English post-punk band led by Siouxsie Sioux, covered "Dear Prudence" in 1983, bringing the song to a new generation of listeners. Their version was released as a single and became one of their biggest commercial successes, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The cover is noted for its lush production, swirling guitars, and Siouxsie's haunting, ethereal vocals, which give the song a darker, more atmospheric feel compared to the original.
The decision to cover "Dear Prudence" came during a creative period for Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the band was known for reinterpreting classic songs in their own unique style. They made it more of a gothic rock anthem, in line with the aesthetic and sound they had cultivated during their career. Their version of the song became so popular that for some, it eclipsed the Beatles' original in terms of cultural relevance in the early '80s alternative scene.
The music video for the song was filmed in Venice, with the band performing against the backdrop of the city’s iconic canals, which added to the moody, atmospheric quality of the cover.
