Lady Gaga has claimed that Depeche Mode are “underrated” and reveled that she plans to cover one of their songs.

The US singer has been quoted as telling US radio station QMS Radio that she wants to re-record their 1984 hit ‘People Are People’.

"I could really give it the melody it never had," Lady Gaga said.

Depeche Mode have sold more than 100million albums and singles worldwide.

But Lady Gaga said she didn’t know they even existed until she heard a mash-up of ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ and her hit ‘Paparazzi’ on YouTube.

“I advise everyone to check out Depeche Mode, they are so underrated,” she added.

Lady Gaga is due to perform in Manchester tonight (June 3), before concluding her UK tour in Sheffield on Friday (June 4).
