On Aug 29th 1989 "Personal Jesus" was released as a single, charting at #13 in the U.K. The band initially believed the song would be a commercial flop.

20. 'The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets that cling to the backs of my knees' is from which amazing song?

From Quiz Depeche Mode Lyrics

Answer: Home

It was widely thought that Depeche Mode would never overcome both Dave Gahan's drug problems and the departure of Alan Wilder, but both critics and fans were surprised when the band returned with 'Ultra'. 'Home' is the album's high point, a shimmering vocal from Martin and sweeping strings. One of my favourite Mode tracks of all time.

Answer: Never Let Me Down Again

The Glitter Mix of "Pleasure Little Treasure" was in the 1988 movie "Bright Lights, Big City," starring Michael J. Fox.

25. Finish the lyrics: "When you look around, you can't tell me honestly you're happy with what you see. Oh sometimes, only sometimes, you must be, you must be..."

From Quiz Depeche Mode - "Black Celebration"

Answer: As embarrassing as me

"Sometimes" is a short song, running time 1:53, but doesn't need much time or lyrics to say exactly what they mean. "Sometimes Only sometimes I question everything And I'm the first to admit If you catch me in a mood like this I can be tiring Even embarrassing But you must feel the same When you look around You can't tell me honestly You're happy with what you see Oh sometimes Only sometimes You must be You must be As embarrassing as me Sometimes"

27. Also on the album is a song from "Ultra" which was remixed by Underworld in 1997. What song am I looking for?
