Band Name Origins:
- Gore, Clarke, and Fletcher started DM as "Composition of Sound". When singer Dave Gahan was added, he suggested the name Depeche Mode, a name he stole from a French fashion magazine he saw in art school. The band didn't know what it meant at the time (loosely translated to "Hurried Fashion"), but thought it sounded modern and cool, for a while early on insisiting on being called Depeché Mode (pronounced Depeshay), though that pronunciation didn't catch on.

Funny Lyrics:

Why They're Funny: Hmmmmm..... Considering this is most likely written from a male perspective, we wonder what kind of 'best friend' is being referred to... Funny nonetheless.

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"New Life"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I stand still stepping on the shady streets
and I watch that man to a stranger You think you only know me when you turn on the light Now the room is lit with danger Why They're Nonsensical: ...Say what ???!! Am I the only one having troubles with these lines (and the rest of this song) or am I missing something? How can one be standing still, yet be 'stepping'??? What 'man' is meant in the next line? How come 'the room is lit with danger '?? (I've checked several sites, and these seem to be the real lyrics, though...)

The Nonsensical Lyrics: Just like a rainbow, you know you set me free
Why They're Nonsensical: We have 'album fillers' and now 'rhyme fillers'. What in the name of Hovis does this line mean? I didn't know rainbows were such renowned liberators, the way they just sit there in the sky and never end...

Makes me a happy man - Can't you understand Why They're Misrhymed: No, I can't actually. Four 'simple' lines that just don't rhyme (again!) What can I say about Depeche Mode? If there was a Top Ten of Most Misrhymed Lyrics, they definitely would be in it! Nevertheless, they make great music, so who gives a ****?

The Misrhymed Lyrics: Put it on - and don't say a word
Put it on - the one that I prefer Why They're Misrhymed: I don't know about you, but to me 'word' and 'prefer' just don't rhyme. Still a great song, however.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Blasphemous Rumours"
The Lyrics: I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god has a sick sense of humour And when I die I expect to find him laughing Why: The rest of the song sounds pretty depressing, but the music for this part of the song sounds rather upbeat and joyous. But the lyrics? Still depressing.
