Released in 1977 on the Lust for Life album , The Passenger was written by Iggy Pop while riding in the S-Bahn (suburban metro railway) in Berlin. The lyrics reflect the nomadic, loner spirit of a punk outcast.
David Bowie originally sang backup vocals for the repeated "La-La"s in the chorus. - iggypop.com

From Iggy's second collaboration with David Bowie -- who originally sang backup vocals on this track
Guitarist Ricky Gardiner: "When I was invited to join David and Iggy in Berlin, I did not realize that they needed material, so I was unprepared when they asked me if I had anything." Gardiner played them his chord sequence on an unplugged Stratocaster

The music was written by Ricky Gardiner, a former member of the prog rock band Beggars Opera. He was idly strumming on his guitar while sitting under the apple blossom near his rural home when he came up with "The Passenger" chord sequence. He recalled, "It was a case of the chord sequence 'slipping through' while I was lost in the glory of a beautiful spring morning."
Gardiner was a session guitarist on the Lust For Life sessions. He says, "When I was invited to join David and Iggy in Berlin, I did not realize that they needed material, so I was unprepared when they asked me if I had anything." Gardiner played them his chord sequence on an unplugged Stratocaster.
