This Weekend's Wildcard is Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode. This is the lead single off of their 1990 album Violator. This song has been covered by numerous artist including Marylin Manson, Sammy Haggar, and Johnny Cash. It has also been featured in countless movies, tv shows, and video games (Most recently NBA 2K15).
The song was inspired by the book Elvis and Me by Pricilla Presley. Martin Gore stated "It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how Elvis Presley was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships; how everybody's heart is like a god in some way, and that's not a very balanced view of someone, is it?"
