Shake The Disease
"Shake the Disease" is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released as a single on 29 April 1985. "Shake the Disease" was one of two new songs on the 1985 compilation albums ''The Singles 81→85'' and ''Catching Up with Depeche Mode'', along with the band's subsequent single "It's Called a Heart". Song information Band member Alan Wilder felt this song captured the essence of the band, saying that "there's a certain edge to what we do that can make people think twice about things. If we've got a choice between calling a song 'Understand Me' or 'Shake the Disease', we'll call it 'Shake the Disease'. There's a lot of perversity and innuendo in our lyrics, but nothing direct." Music video The music video is the first Depeche Mode video directed by Peter Care, and features a camera trick that makes the band members appear to slowly tip over.

Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody
"Blasphemous Rumours"/"Somebody" is Depeche Mode's twelfth UK single and first double A-side single, released on 29 October 1984. Both A-side songs are from the album ''Some Great Reward''. Song information Blasphemous Rumours The verses to "Blasphemous Rumours" describe a 16-year-old girl who attempts suicide but fails. She experiences a religious revival but then "Hit by a car / Ended up / On a life support machine" (from the lyrics). The chorus uses these incidents to conclude, "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours / But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour / And when I die, I expect to find him laughing." Like other songs on ''Some Great Reward'', the song uses a dense sound with extensive sampled percussion. The song stems from the times that Martin Gore would go with bandmate Andy Fletcher and former bandmate Vince Clarke to the church. When Martin initially showed Andy the song, he found it quite offensive and said, "It certainly verges on the offensive ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Master And Servant
"Master and Servant" is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on 20 August 1984 as the second single from their fourth studio album, ''Some Great Reward'' (1984). Its subject matter is BDSM relationships, which caused some controversy, though it has an underlying political theme that is often overlooked by media. It reached number 9 on the UK Singles Chart, number 49 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart and number 87 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Conception and composition The overtly sexual, BDSM-themed lyrics of "Master and Servant" – including synthesized whip-and-chain sound effects – reportedly meant that the song was banned by many radio stations in the United States (although the song reached the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 anyway, albeit only at number 87 and for only a three-week chart stay). The song derived from Martin Gore going to various S&M clubs at the time, which he began to form an idea for the song after "seeing a correlation betwe ...
