"Behind the Wheel" is Depeche Mode's twentieth UK single, released on December 28, 1987, and the third single for the album Music for the Masses. Peaking at #21 in the UK charts, it hit a more impressive #6 in West Germany. The single version was a Shep Pettibone remix, which replaced the album version's bass-ish line with a more techno beat, and featured a guitar part added to the second verse and some verse's lines added as some kind of echo in the last refrain. Even though it was a logical step to put the official single version on the compilation The Singles 86-98, many were disappointed because they found the Shep Pettibone mix to be inferior. The album version was included as an extra on the single .

Even though it was a logical step to put the official single version on the compilation The Singles 86-98, many were disappointed because they found the Shep Pettibone mix to be inferior. The album version was included as an extra on the single . The B-Side is a cover of Bobby Troup's novelty standard "Route 66", named after the highway of the same name. The music for the cover is similar, sometimes identical to "Behind the Wheel" . In fact, there are several mixes that combine the two together. Martin Gore is the lead singer on "Route 66", while David Gahan and Martin sing "Behind the Wheel" together. For the World Violation Tour in 1990, Dave sang lead on "Route 66" instead of Martin. There is also a "Beatmasters" mix of both songs. "Route 66 " shows up on Remixes 81 - 04There are two music videos for "Behind the Wheel". The original version, from Strange uses the "LP Mix". There is also a shortened one using the 7" "Remix" version of the song. It appears on The Videos 86-98. They are directed by Anton Corbijn. (en)
