	Subject: Scrambled Depeche Mode Songs [NOTHING left]
	Written By: Henk on 10/04/08 at 12:37 pm
	
Just a little quiz that I felt like making inbetween all my other work. 
If you can't play my audio quizzes, here's your chance!
These are all anagrams of Depeche Mode songs. 
Hope you like 'em enough to recognize what I'm looking for.
I've been laughing out loud making this quiz. 
Please don't make me the laughing stock...
Limit = OFF. Good luck and enjoy! :)

7 | Get the Balance Right
17 | Love in Itself
24 | Precious
Just a little bit of interesting trivia to co with one of my answers:
'Get the Balance Right' was a single only release.  It's first appearance on a DM album was the 1984 North American compilation 'People Are People'.  In the UK, it first appeared on their 1985 'The Singles 81-85' compilation.  The North American version of that album was titled 'Catching Up With Depeche Mode' and omitted both 'Leave in Silence' and 'Get the Balance Right'.  'The Singles 81-85' would later get re-released (making it's North American debut) in 1998 to co-incide with the release of 'The Singles 86-98'
I have a UK vinyl copy of the original 'The Singles 81-85'.  Being that it was never released over here, I consider it a rare item in my vinyl collection 8)

I never realized that... Karma for being knowledgeable, but no bonus points.  :P
I don't have a vinyl version of "The Singles". Now I want one.

And here's one you won't find on that album, it only appeared on the CD...#12. 'The Meaning Of Love'
...and one that is included (although it was a much smaller hit) #23. 'Dreaming Of Me'

You are correct in thinking so, Patty. :) Nice job!
(surprised that two of my fave DM songs aren't part of the scramble, but they did SO many songs, you couldn't possibly scramble them all.)
Some song titles just proved impossible to scramble (to many identical letters, for instance). And yes, there's simply too many to scramble too.

I am out of guesses.  This was a fantastic quiz Henk :)
Here's more trivia:
Their 1984 album 'Some Great Reward', which was a UK #5 hit in their homeland, became their first Top 40 album in Canada where it peaked at #34.  This might not seem like a major success, but you haven't heard the best part:  Not only did it reach the Top 40, it spent a total of 55 weeks in the Canadian 100 Albums chart.  Based on # of weeks on the chart and not by peak position, it remains their most successful album in Canada

35   Find Ghetto Head = I would have thought this would be Dead of Night, but your scramble has a few extra letters (namely an extra t, e, o, and h)  So I give up on the last two also.

I'll give you #35, for it's actually The Dead of Night. There's only one "o" on both sides. ;)
