I know some Depeche Mode, but not this one. The timing was perfect, of course =)

My favorite Depeche Mode Song and I'm ill too (though in another way), how can I give this anything else than 5s? I can't. :-)

I know the original song well; I was in high school when it came out. And the parody was great too; I also like how the rhymed words are so close to the corresponding rhymes of the original. 5-5-5 for you. Have a nice day, Arwen! :)

I love it! Perfect, and oh so funny. You're not going to believe this, but when I was in 10th grade I broke my tooth on a breadstick. You heard it right, a soft delicious breadstick. I still haven't figured it out...

Thanks, Darling! I did actually break a tooth on a gumball when I was in college...but not while I was on a date...and it was a molar...so nobody could tell the difference...except for my dentist!

this is my first DKTOS of yours Arwen, so I had to read it like a story - and I pissed myself (a guy who know your friend Sue!) (some bubble fun was my intent) (confection seemed foolproof) - you have a sublime take on the mundane - oh and you're cool and lovely too - 555

Arwen, you are one of the better storytellers in this gang of weirdos. Nice use of DM. 555

Stuart...uh...not that I'm counting or anything...but...it's not your first DKTOS of mine...check the record:

Remember that part about me always being right...=)

Anyway...I really didn't know how many folks would KTOS...it's not as mainstream as most of the other songs I choose...but...when inspiration calls...I have to answer. Thanks for loving me enough to give me a 555 regardless...mmmmwah!

And Agri...I don't think I could be more flattered! What a lovely thing to say, considering the talented company that we keep around here...thanks!

Well babe, I KTOS alot...in fact it's one of my faves...and this was yet again a stirling parody....you really do get into some fixes, dontcha? 555

Arwen - January 08, 2005 - Report this comment

Oh Kristof...nothing like a little S.A.B. charm to make a little girl blush...=) Thanks, Love!

I'm not sure whether to be disappointed that our "I'm-always-right"/"No-I'M-always-right" debate line-in-the-sand has edged some inches into your territory
or to be thrilled (and excited) at your depth of knowledge regarding our history
excuse me while I go and jump to conclusions :-)

I make a point of remembering our every exchange, darling. It makes it easier when we have to fight...er...disagree.

Stuart McArthur - January 08, 2005 - Report this comment

Yes, it does make fighting easier - but a big tub of mud would make it easier still - what do you think?

Arwen - January 08, 2005 - Report this comment

Surprisingly you're not the first to make said suggestion...but I prefer Lime Jell-o...

...to each his or her own, I guess.

Stuart McArthur - January 08, 2005 - Report this comment

yeah, either is okay - it's just that when I'm wrestling in jell-o I tend to do more eating than wrestling - but whatever makes you happy I guess

Arwen - January 10, 2005 - Report this comment

That's actually a little bit grosser than I'd like to think about.

Lee O. Jay - January 11, 2005 - Report this comment

Wish I KTOS, but very funny nonetheless...

Thanks, Scathe, Agri, Luke & Adagio!

Hmm, the only thing worse than visiting the dentist would be having to listen to Depeche Mode at the same time. Still, some excellent rhymes plus it mentions Heath which is my fave so GREAT JOB.

Rick D - February 11, 2005 - Report this comment

Just got back from the dentist in time to read this.DKOS, but good tale

(SOTM) Just have a look at my vote posting to know what I think of this...:-)

(SOTM) DKTOS, and rather frustratingly, can't find a midi with an obvious vocal substitute track to hum along to :-/

Great lyrics, though :-) 5's

John Jenkins - February 19, 2005 - Report this comment

Well done, Arwen. Very good rhyming and I particularly liked the evil spell line.

Phil Alexander - February 20, 2005 - Report this comment

Seeing as I DKTOS, I kept wanting to sing "A Gumball Broke My Tooth" to the tune of "A DJ Saved My Life" (a dire song - don't know if it got to that side of the Atlantic)... tell me, did you write this one at 2:30?

Spaff.com - February 20, 2005 - Report this comment

I listened along with the original while reading this (which I'd love to do with every song parody, but alas). Nice job, Sister. Your rhyming so many end syllables with the OS's is quite a bonus. I dig how you worked in "Never again" and I agree with everyone else on the "evil spell" line. Also, Claude's comment is hilarious but I gotta admit that I really like the Violator album (whence cometh "Personal Jesus" and this OS).

(SOTM) Sweet...and gory!

Arwen - February 22, 2005 - Report this comment

How did I get so behind on this one??

Because I'm lazy tonight...thanks to all of my SOTM commenters...and...

Claude: LOL!

Phil: Yes, "DJ" did make it over...I actually like it, silly!

SOTM - I DKTOS and don't have a downloading program but i trusted everyone else and didn't ruin the perfect score. After all, i don't want to incur the wrath of the elf

Red Ant...I was wondering why you were missing from all my comment threads...; ) Thanks!

I couldn't even finish reading this because I was cracking up so much. It was awesome! And it went perfectly with the original song. Great job!
