"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" was recorded in August 1979 during rehearsals for ABBA's major tour. Benny and Björn drew heavily on Donna Summer's hit "Hot Stuff" to create this classic. https://t.co/ZSS0BNMne3
"Personal Jesus" was directly inspired by the book Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley. She described Elvis as her "personal Jesus," an almost divine being who could do anything for her.
It was the first single from the album Violator (1990) and years later, Johnny Cash recorded an epic and dark cover that Depeche Mode loved.
