"People Are People"
Song

Template:CurrentSingles

"People Are People"
Song

"People Are People" is Depeche Mode's tenth UK single (released on March 12 1984) and the first single for the Some Great Reward album.

"People Are People" was written by Martin Gore, but the dancy poppy feel of the song may actually be credited to Alan Wilder. Alan did write the B-Side, "In Your Memory". Each song has an extended remix, the "Different Mix" and the "Slik Mix" respectively. Although sometimes the "In Your Memory" mix is called the "Slick Mix" instead.

The Clive Richardson directed "People Are People" video came in two versions. The original was made for the "Single version", but an alternate video was made with the "Different Mix". The music video featured footage of various war scenes, mixed with the band banging stuff in a battleship. The "Different Mix" video appears on Some Great Videos.

Despite "People Are People"'s success, Martin Gore considers it to be one of his least favorite songs. He prefers his songs to have subtle meanings so that people can find their own meanings to it, and feels "People Are People" does not fit that description. It was never played live after 1988.

The US got a compilation called People Are People with various songs not available in the US prior to it. The single itself was released in the USA on July 11 1984.

The song "People Are People" has been covered by A Perfect Circle on their anti-war album eMOTIVe and by RuPaul on his 2004 album Red Hot. RuPaul's version features Tom Trujillo and was released as a retail single on 26 January, 2006. The single has so far peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
