It's called a heart - Depeche Mode

'It's called a heart' was released in september 1985 as a single from the compilation album Singles 81 - 85, which was called Catching up with Depeche Mode in the USA. 

Band member Alan Wilder disagreed with releasing 'It's called a heart', instead suggesting that the song 'Fly on the windscreen' would be a superior choice. He said: 'I felt ['It's called a heart'] was really going backwards, it was so poppy and trite.' However, the rest of the band outvoted Wilder, and 'Fly on the windscreen' was released as the single's B-side. A year later, singer Dave Gahan admitted that 'It's called a heart' was a poor choice, and the band remixed and added 'Fly on the windscreen' to their next studio album, Black celebration
