The video for "Get the Balance Right!" has one of the most famous blunders among Depeche Mode fans. At the beginning of the video, Alan lip-syncs to the first two lines of the song. The director, Kevin Hewitt, did not know the band and simply assumed Alan was the singer. The band were too scared to point out that David Gahan was the singer.

I don't think this makes any sense becuase everyone in the whole band lip synced the entire song. I think that's just the way they did it.

Check out what Alan Wilder is doing now. It's cool.

I have this on sweet, sweet blue vinyl. But sadly it is the lame German version (MUTE INT whatever).
