- Notes:
- This is the movie that got Sire is hot water with Depeche Mode. Sire requested that Mode do a song for the soundtrack to Modern Girls. At the time they were finishing off the album Black Celebration, and had put weeks of work into the song that was to be the lead single, Stripped. But Not Tonight was written and recorded in under two days, and was considered throw-away material. However, when Sire released the Stripped single for the US market, they made But Not Tonight the A-Side, and relegated Stripped to the lowly B-Side position. The band was outraged with this move, and Sire eventually re-released the single with Stripped being the A-Side. To this day, But Not Tonight is the only B-side that has a companion music video (made mostly of clips from Modern Girls), and Mode has never performed But Not Tonight live.
