"Interlude" is a 1968 song written and composed by Georges Delerue and Hal Shaper and originally performed by American soul singer Timi Yuro.
In 1994, the song was covered in a duet by Morrissey and Siouxsie Sioux and released as a single in August of that year by EMI.
Melody Maker published a news item in May 1993, announcing that Morrissey and Siouxsie were "holding discussions at the moment, with a view to recording a duet to release as a single".
The single's sleeve is a cropped version of the photograph Girl Jiving in Southam St. by Roger Mayne, the model being Eileen Sheekey.
[citation needed] The single was retrospectively well received by MacKenzie Wilson of AllMusic, who considered the performers to be "one of the finest duos in modern rock."
"[8] Spin also praised the collaboration, saying : "Two heroes enterwine their voices - Siouxsie's torchily rich, Morrissey's expansively wobbly - for a song about romance that actually doesn't sound doomed".
