Page "Bauhaus (band)" Paragraph 7

Bauhaus followed with the single " Spirit ", produced by Hugh Jones and intended to break into the Top 30.

However, " Spirit " only reached number 42.

The band was displeased with the single and re-recorded it for their third album The Sky's Gone Out, in 1982.

In the same year Bauhaus scored their biggest hit with a cover of David Bowie's " Ziggy Stardust ", which was recorded during a BBC session.

The song reached number 15 on the British charts and earned the band an appearance on the television show Top of the Pops.

Thanks to the success of the single, the album also became the band's biggest hit, peaking at number four.

That same year Bauhaus made an appearance in the horror film The Hunger, where they performed " Bela Lugosi's Dead " during the opening credits.

The final cut of the scene focused on Murphy ; this, coupled with the singer's modelling work in a popular ad campaign for Maxell, caused resentment among the rest of the group.
