"Behind the Wheel" is Depeche Mode's twentieth UK single, released on 28 December 1987, and the third single for the album Music for the Masses. Peaking at #21 in the UK charts, it hit #6 in West Germany.
In 1989, the single was ranked #30 on Spin magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Singles Of All Time".
The music video was directed by Anton Corbijn and included on the Strange compilation. Shot entirely in black and white, the video depicts Dave Gahan's car from the Never Let Me Down Again video being towed away while he waits on crutches, only to discard those crutches as he rides on the back of a Vespa SS180 driven by a female companion to a local southwestern village, where the rest of the band play the song while Gahan and the woman dance.
The video features the 7" remix of the song, although an alternative video also exists set to the original album version.
