Depeche Mode | Stripped (1986)

"Stripped" is a song by British electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released as the lead single from their fifth studio album Black Celebration (1986) on 10 February 1986, through Mute Records.

Written by the band's lead songwriter Martin Gore, "Stripped" has been described as an "ominous and intriguing pop song."


It incorporates various samples into its instrumental; most notably, the sound of an idling motorcycle engine was recorded, altered slightly, and inserted as a percussive element.
