It was Ziggy Stardust.

BTW, as far as I know, here's a fairly complete list of songs Bauhaus has 
covered and officially released:

Ziggy Stardust - Bowie
Telegram Sam - T Rex
Rosegarden Funeral of Sores - John Cale
Third Uncle - Brian Eno
Waiting For The Man (live on cd only) - Velvet Underground
The Passenger (live on dvd only) - Iggy Pop
Severence - Dead Can Dance

beginning of the otherwise dull early 80's vampire movie "The Hunger."
