"Miss the Girl" is the debut single recorded by English band the Creatures (Siouxsie Sioux and drummer Budgie). It was co-produced by Mike Hedges and was released as the lead single from the critically acclaimed Feast album. It was remastered in 1997 for A Bestiary Of. The song was allegedly inspired by the 1973 novel Crash, a story about car-crash fetishists by J. G. Ballard.
The main instruments used were marimba and percussion, giving the song a distinctive and original sound.
The single peaked at No. 21 on the UK Singles Chart.[http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/19263/creatures/ "Miss The Girl"]. Officialcharts.com. Retrieved 8-5-2012 "Miss the Girl" was the very first record released on Wonderland, a label created in 1983 by the members of Siouxsie and the Banshees.
