Bizarre Love Triangle

Bizarre Love Triangle came out as a single on 3 November 1986 from Brotherhood. It reached number four on the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart and number five in Australia in March 1987, but did not enter the top 40 in Britain or on the US Hot 100. The single mix has more electronics than the album version, with a Fairlight CMI used for orchestral hits and sequencing. Everything except the vocals and Hook's melodic bass was sequenced. Shep Pettibone's 12-inch remix appears on Substance. The video, directed by Robert Longo and Gretchen Bender, shows people in business suits flying through the air.

Billboard noted that the words of the title never appear in the song. Stereogum wrote that where Blue Monday is the best-known New Order song, it is Bizarre Love Triangle that ought to reign supreme, and Pitchfork's Tom Ewing praised Pettibone's extended mix as peerless. Rolling Stone placed it at number 204 on its list of the 500 greatest songs.

The Australian band Frente! recorded an acoustic version in 1994 on the Lonely EP. It reached number seven on the ARIA chart and number 49 on the Hot 100. Stabbing Westward, Echosmith and the Killers have also covered the song.
