Miscellanea

• The voice at the beginning of "Black Celebration" is Daniel Miller (impersonating Winston Churchill) saying, "A brief period of rejoicing."
• Black Celebration is the only Depeche Mode album that has a title track. However, there are three other Depeche Mode albums that get their names from lyrics in songs on the albums: Construction Time Again, Some Great Reward and Playing the Angel.
• Black Celebration is the only Depeche Mode album which does not have a track featured on The Best Of: Volume 1 although the DVD edition carries both "Stripped" and "A Question Of Time".
• Black Celebration was the last Depeche Mode album to feature Brian Griffin as cover photographer.
• The song "Stripped" has been covered by Kent, Scooter, Rammstein, She Wants Revenge, Shiny Toy Guns, and Brainclaw.
• The song "Here is the House" has been covered by Andain.
• The song "World Full of Nothing" has been covered acoustically by Steve Thompson.
• The b-side "Black Day" is a new composition that reprises lyrics from "Black Celebration", sung by Martin Gore.
• The lyrics of "Dressed in Black" are quite similar to the song "Baby's in Black" by The Beatles.
• On the back of the cover a quote reciting Life in the so called space age can be read. This quote gave inspiration to God Lives Underwater, who released an album with such a title, in 1998.
• The intro from "But Not Tonight" is heavily sampled in Dntel's song, "Don't Get Your Hopes Up."
• The 1986 film Modern Girls used the song "But Not Tonight". The track was released as a single in North America only, and was not included on most foreign versions of Black Celebration.
