The single mix was more electronic than the version on the album, and there was an extended mix of "Jealousy" which featured Neil Tennant reading excerpts of Shakespeare's Othello, which is a play about jealousy.
The b-side was the Pet Shop Boys' tidied-up demo version of " Losing My Mind", which they produced for Liza Minnelli in 1989 for her album Results. There was an additional b-side, "Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend", and in addition to some extended mixes of both singles, there were additional remixes of both songs by David Morales. The videos for both songs were directed by Liam Kan, which drew on iconography from the Pet Shop Boys' then current tour and featured Neil Tennant spoofing several 'rock' stars including U2, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley and George Michael. " Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)" / "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?" (R 6285 – 11 March 1991).The single mix was not featured on either of the Pet Shop Boys' greatest hits albums ( Discography: The Complete Singles Collection and Pop Art: Pet Shop Boys – The Hits), although the video was featured on the Pop Art DVD and Videography. There were also remixes by David Morales, which were released on a limited edition 12-inch and CD. This US release featured the Techno Funk mix of "I Want a Dog", the Marshall Jefferson remix of "Being Boring" and the Trevor Horn 7-inch mix of " It's Alright". The single was radically remixed from the album version by Brothers in Rhythm, and this become the version on the double a-side released in the UK with "Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)". " How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?" (E2-56205 – 1991).There were Pet Shop Boys Extended Mixes of both a-side and b-side, and there was a remix of "Being Boring" by Marshall Jefferson and two remixes of the B-side by Brothers in Rhythm on a limited edition 12-inch and CD of the single. The B-side was "We All Feel Better in the Dark". The KLF also remixed "It Must Be Obvious", which was only available on The KLF versus Pet Shop Boys CD and 12-inch of the single. Remixes were by the Pet Shop Boys themselves, The KLF and David Morales. The b-side was "It Must Be Obvious", with the USA release also featuring the Italian Mix of " Paninaro", which was originally released on Disco. I can't understand what happened we set out to write an uplifting album and we ended up with something which was the complete opposite." Tennant added, "There was an element of sadness to it, it's one of these things that sad songs are more interesting to write." Singles In a 1993 interview with NME, Chris Lowe recalled of Behaviour, "The funny thing was that album was written at a time when the whole rave scene was fantastically exciting and good, the music was really up. Tennant stated the album was inspired by fellow synth-pop group Depeche Mode's album Violator, released that same year. Later, singer Neil Tennant would reflect on the different style of Behaviour: " It was more reflective and more musical-sounding, and also it probably didn't have irritatingly crass ideas in it, like our songs often do". In places, the album expands upon the synth-pop genre with flavours of guitar pop ballads, as with "This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave" and "My October Symphony" (a song about the decline of the Soviet Union) featuring guitarist Johnny Marr. The result was a Pet Shop Boys album that differed from both the previous album, Introspective, and the 1993 follow-up, Very. Faltermeyer was chosen as a producer as he happened to be an expert on analogue equipment.
Because they were dissatisfied with the available digital synthesisers and samples, Pet Shop Boys wanted to use analogue synthesisers. Harold Faltermeyer produced Behaviour at his Red Deer studio in Munich, Germany. A Japanese special edition included a bonus mini CD, exclusive artwork and printed lyrics in a white velvet-like box.
