Depeche Mode have added yet another string to their bow by writing a new song sung in an entirely made up language.
The eighties band have recorded the weird song for the computer games series, ‘The Sims’.
The made up language has been named ‘Simlish’ and the Mode have covered their track ‘Suffer Well’ entirely in ‘Simlish’…they are hoping the move will introduce their music to a new generation of fans.
Simlish is the language used by all characters in ‘The Sims’ video games, it is thought to be a hybrid of Ukranian and the Philippino dialect Tagalog.
According to Handbag.com, singer David Gahan says, "Depeche Mode has always been open to new ways of sharing our music. But re-recording a Simlish-language version of Suffer Well just sounded bizarre. Of course, that's why we couldn't resist doing it."
Well, naturally, who wouldn’t want to record in Simlish?
