Siouxsie & the Banshees waited a decade, and did it well:

And on that note, I’m off for a bit. Hitting the road tomorrow. Enjoy the holidays. Please don’t rob my house.

This is a much loved song in our house.
There is an interesting cover by Michael Hutchence on the Batman Forever soundtrack; have you heard it? Mostly, I’m shocked, just shocked, you didn’t reference the cover by the punk rock Polish band Pidżama Porno. Heh. (Fwiw, I wasn’t the one who noted out loud that it was missing…)
