  • As awesome as this song is, I am so glad I wasn't alive to suffer through the eighties. ;)

  • Love the song, and the video!

  • Men at work. Alan chained to Martin. Women protesting war. I love their music and this cheeky fucking video is so wild. <3 DM Forever <3 (Alan come back)

  • @siobhanachu yes DM Forever <3.....That would be sweet if Alan came back.....I still want to marry me some Martin...he is my fav;)

  • even with all the 80's hair .....DAVE GAHAN IS STILL HOTTTTT!!!!

  • Listen to that big voice coming out of that little man...so cute. :)

  • ....this should be put in a time capsule to represent the entire 1980s.

  • do doo do doo do do do doo...let's go to bed! ;)

  • By and for naughty schoolboys! (I was one)

  • 2011? Hell, still listening in 2012!

    

  • @vyeto ----GIGGITY!!

  • those are some sketchy shoes dave has on

  • Did anyone notice Rihanna's S&M samples this?

  • Reminds me when I used to make computers. When I put in two hard drives I'd hum this.

  • so much pelvic rotation!

  • They were SO a head of their time with this song. It was one of the few songs of the time that pushed the envelope on what was being heard back then. Well done Mr Gahan.

  • 1:34 work that drill Andy, you sexy beast.

  • Martin Gore is a pretty one, isn't he?

  • Eddie Murphy's brother said that in the 80's the guys that looked the most like a bitch were the ones getting all the girls. I guarentee Depeche Mode didn't have any trouble getting laid.

  • I came here because i heard about it on the Adam Carola show. he hates this song.

  • @hollywoodjokerpicalo how can he hate it...its about S&M

  • great song!

  • @Catmint1971 If you dont like them, then why are you listening to them, huh?

  • @Catmint1971

    Wait what? Mind speaking in normal english?

  • I wish I could be in their studio when they recorded this hehehehehe :D

  • one word... BAKA

  • YEAH...... DO THE DINO DANCE

    

  • I want the Hate Dept. version :(

  • "IT'S ALOT LIKE DEPECH MODE" BABY!

  • What album is this on? Speak & Spell (please don't bash on me)?

  • @AggieMaryann

    Some Great Reward

  • Oh snap, this is my shit right here! I am so blessed to have grown up smack dab in the middle of the 80's. As teens we had it so good with DM and Duran Duran. Now we have over autotuned BS.

  • lol That dance.

  • 7 people have dominance issues.

  • way gay

  • @BigBishop1 You probably dont know good music even if it cummed right on your ass!!!

  • @GreaserCoolRider the smell of shit excites you

  • Dave Gahan displaying his Jim Kerr dancing moves

  • 7 people are lame and not smart as us.

  • Depeche Mode ... Legends

    Right up there with The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc

  • What an Amazing classic

  • Ha! the painter kinda looks like Tommy Lee Jones...

  • great song.

  • Dave Gahan: The Man With His Moves <3 Sounds like a movie title, noh? lol

  • Thumbs up if you are still listening to this in 2011!

  • @Metroidam11

    You know it!

  • @Metroidam11 Thumbs up if you are still listening to this in 2012!

  • @Metroidam11 Nope... 2012!

  • @Metroidam11 been listening to them since 1981...still in love with those boys from when I was 11 yrs old....

  • Sorry but this has to be said...Alan Wilder in this video is so f*&kable!!!!! HAAAWWWT!!!

  • I love this band.

  • This stinks of the 80's...and I love it! DM rules. Shia needs to spoof Dave on SNL, and then Dave can come in and surprise him...and then they'd jam together. I'd watch it.

  • @rrbrown813 and with this hair too....

  • @rrbrown813 that's who he reminds me of. Thanks.

  • @rrbrown813 OMG yes. That would be epic.

  • @z90OoAluYsioNoO09z Yeah it would...I like the Shia skit where they all shoot each other to that song..I forgot the name of it...but it's hard to find on the net, though. I grew up watching him on Nickelodeon back in the day...

  • @rrbrown813 mulllets...nuff said

  • Comment removed

  • 3:37 when me and my friends saw this we started laughing

  • 1:02-1:05 I think I see a boob in the sheets on the right... correct me if I'm wrong.

  • We call it master and servant

    We call it master and servant

  • The 80s were so frickin cool!!.Not a buch of rehearsed dance moves and outfit that cost thousands of dollars.Real and felt!

  • @fortunateisle well, if my math is correct, i would say Alison looks more like Martin...but, hey, who cares right?!

  • aw how could 5 people dislike this vid? Dx

  • Comment removed

  • I love his mullet.

  • I don't know what I like more - his hair or his dancing.

  • We now have our real master = China. You gave up manufacturing to have a fun day at the beach. Nice!!!

  • Wikipaedia states that Rihanna sampled this in her song S&M

  • If you listen carefully the Bloodhound gang totally stole a riff from this song check it out. If you listen carefully it's the guitar riff in the Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss.

  • DM - the soundtrack to S + M

    ha

  • IT'S A LOT, it's a lot, IT'S A LOT, it's a lot, IT'S A LOT, it's a lot, IT'S A LOT LIKE LIFE!

    Kickass song!

  • DM always put these great messages, with great songs in there, it makes their music stand the test of time

  • Depeche Mode is to Electronic Pop as The Rolling Stones are to Rock 'n' Roll.

  • I really like the parts of the video that show the elites and the politics in the background. It shows the unfairness of life and the contrast between the lifestyles of the elites and poor. Depeche Mode has an extremely cynical style and the 80's style of direct coldness and materialism really manifests itself in these New Wave videos.

  • @destructingparabola When I saw that I loved the vid even more. It's also interesting how they parody it almost in context of the BDSM idea of Master and Servant, saying it's a lot like life, that we live that kinda way in our daily lives with out even realizing it, but at the same time people get upset over the BDSM context, which is completely consensual and between adults, yet they don't even realize the none consensual Master and Servant play they do every day, just to get food on the table.

  • Please remember this was 30 years ago.....hello! DM has gone on to be one of the most influential bands of the 21 century. Watch their videos over the 80s, 90s. 20s and last year....they only became the best live band ever.

    PS they are from England, not gay

  • david has some great dance moves when he sings, lol

  • 4 people are servants

  • THE GUYS IN THIS BAND ARE STRAIGHT UP GAY. BUT DAMN THEY MAKE GOOD MUSIC.

  • @vivalafiends Actually they are all heterosexual.

  • i came here just to watch dave dance (the song is awesome too)

  • @doinitw3ll depeche mode was a great band not a one hit wonder

  • @tristconroytv They're one hit wonders 50 times, is what they're saying.

  • @tristconroytv Depeche Mode IS a great band!

  • Great song, and that was Dave Gahan's most fab hairstyle since that New Life video shot at Croc's in 1981

  • This song is actual about Hegel's Lord and Bondsman, where the master's absolute dependency on the servant in maintaining mastery becomes apparent through the servants self-realization in the process of labouring for another's desire. It is thus able to overcome natural determinacy, and create recognative inter-subjective structures.

  • One of my favs from the 80s. Yes it is satire SATIRE (about power in the world), and has something for deep thinkers as well as S&M connotation. Love the Imagery SFX, the MIDI & synths. Love his voice!

  • @exit4music Technically its a D&S connotation. S&M is sadism and masochism, D&S is dominance and submission.

  • 2 people are in an unhappy D/S relationship.

  • i love the fake snow effects brrr

  • DM were one hit wonders X 50

  • @doinitw3ll lol, so very true! One of my favorite bands since the 80s!

  • @doinitw3ll Are you stupid???? One hit wonders? You shouldn't even be on youtube if youre that ignorant!

  • @robinhurleylambert I see that English is not your first nor last language? It's a shame that in my life, anyone with the name hurley are complete and utter morons, can someone change this phenomenon, plz. Do us all a favour and try to read my original post again, see what you comprehend out of it then come back with your 2secs of fame comment.

  • yeah Dave, enjoy moving about while you can. as soon as i build a time machine im showing how i play master and servant ;)

  • there are videos from '81 on here.

  • I love how old school all Depeche Mode's videos are =) and all the band members look so young...i didn't even know they started out that young!

  • @mslbs555 They were 18-20 when they had their first hit. Personally, I prefer them over U2 anytime!

  • love those wicked dance moves!!!

  • This is so 80s :)

  • 1 person needs to be treated like a dog.

  • Man he scared the shit out of me

  • This song makes me sassy I like that! :3

  • I know the lyrics are somewhat inappropriate, but does the title of the song "Master and Servant" itself really sound inappropriate in any way?

  • Stop arguing over whether this song copies another, and just enjoy it for what it is, an amazing Depeche Mode song about sexual politics. Besides, musicians copy from one another quite often.

  • @JaredNorman No they don't. They get INSPIRATION from each other.

  • Just because two songs having similar arrangements doesn't mean they are the same songs. Lyrically speaking, I think Master & Servant is more superior. Overall M&S is just a better produced song than the Cure's.

  • A. The Cure does not suck, they're awesome. B. It is possible for songs to sound somewhat similar. There is no note copyrights. C. Both are great bands. D. Everyone hush and enjoy the music.

  • I see Marxist overtones

  • I LOVE THIS SONG<3 

  • is anyone here over lets say 35? if your not then you have no clue! Depeche Mode took us away from the pop crap and heavy metal even worse from the 80s!

  • @Emrald2002 still does:)

  • @Emrald2002 Hey man. I absolutely love Depeche Mode but I love metal too. Now the pop crap, I agree with.

  • they played this song last year in the first leg of their tour

  • Is it just me or would Shia LeBeouf play the perfect young Dave Gahan if they ever made a movie about Depeche Mode?

  • @MaverickAC69

    It's not just you.

  • @MaverickAC69 Saved me the post thanks lol

  • @MaverickAC69 I thought I was the only one!

  • @MaverickAC69  yah it's just you

  • @MaverickAC69 that would actully be a good movie

    

  • @MaverickAC69 That's a terrible idea. Dave Gahan is the man, and Shia LeBeouf sucks.

  • @MaverickAC69 I know *I* would pay to see Shia attempt suicide fifty-leven times.

  • @MaverickAC69 tell me you didn't just mention Shia LaBeouf with regards to Depeche Mode.

  • @MaverickAC69 Ive always thought they look frighteningly similar

  • @MaverickAC69 That sounds like a good excuse to make a movie about Depeche Mode. Who would play Martin?

  • @MaverickAC69 I always thought Shia looked so much like Dave Gahan, espeically in the nose area.

  • @MaverickAC69

    The guy that plays Michael Bolton in office space would make a much better Dave Gahan.

  • @thenervetattoo I think Shia LeBouf would make a better Dave Gahan

  • jenny- i totally agree! they're hypnotizing!!

  • they're like a drug thats euphoric and speaks to you

  • Depeche Mode deserves a spot in the Rock Hall, HANDS DOWN!

  • @MaverickAC69 No doubt!!!!

  • @MaverickAC69 They arn't even rock.. not close..

  • @MaverickAC69

    Except this doesn't really have that much to do with ROCK , does it?

    :)

    DM 4 life!

  • @MaverickAC69

    How aren't they already is the question!?!?

  • ballet shoes at 0:24?

  • god,look at how young they all are..of course this WAS 26 years ago...LONG time lol

  • @CZRXCZR oh very nice

  • Dave would still look gorgeous painted purple, mullet or not :D

  • the video is irrelevant to the cause of the lyrics. listen closely its an S&M society

  • MASTER AND SERVANT=$=SNAKE=WONDERFUL

  • DAVE WITH A MULLET!!!

    Not the best idea :P

  • @PirateMrTyler Lol, this was in 1984. Mullets were common then!

  • @brfts2001 Haha, I know! I don't think Dave can pull it off though!

  • This is some of the best stuff in the Pre-Violator days of DM. To me, this is their best era with the sampling and sound layers they experimented with.

  • They all look cute, young and awasome. Alan was really handsome, but Dave's always been sexy, i love this song, it's so catchy!!! Love u DM

  • Stop talking about how this is a plagiarism of The Cure song "Let's go to bed" and focus on how the Blood Hound Gang ripped off the memorable dun-dun-dur-uh-dur-um... >.<

  • If you feel that bands such as DM and The Cure seem gay or they make you question your sexuality, I don't think it's the bands...

  • Robert Smith is a fan of Depeche Mode...and the songs sound nothing alike. If you were a musician, you'd no that!!! Robert even asked Alan Wilder to join The Cure when he quit DM.

  • @davedorger ha i dont think any of them are gay either. the music just sounds good....

  • @davedorger lol

  • @davedorger maybe you have a gay tooth or something haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Does it get any better than this?? I can't get enough 80's. Best decade ever!!!!!!! beautiful.

  • @melitzae WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? I DONT CARE WHAT THE FUCK YOU LOVE. ITS YOUR OPINION AND IT MEANS NOTHING TO ME SINCE YOU'RE BELOW ME AND THE CURE DOES SUCK THEY WILL NEVER BE NOTHING COMPARED TO DEPECHE MODE!!!!

  • Shia Lebouf?! Really though..fantastic

  • @vivalafiends NO !! i ♥ the cure & i also ♥ depeche mode pff it's not one or the other .. both are really good n,n

  • lets play master and servant.....thats what michelle tells barry o........

  • hee hee,look at the mulet on David!!!!! I never knew he grew the mulet!
