"Love Is The Drug" is a song which started as an Andy Mackay instrumental, but became the best charted Roxy Music single until they released the John Lennon cover "Jealous Guy".
In the Depeche Mode tour documentary/film 101, lead vocalist Dave Gahan can be seen singing along to the song while playing a pinball machine.
