The Friday Canon: DEPECHE MODE

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

MODEFAX:

Dave joined the band after hearing them rehearse in a scout-hut!

They used 'People Are People' as the theme tune for agreeable children's telly programme It'll Never Work!

Dave technically died for 2 minutes in 1996!

You get THIRTEEN ticks across all these UK Top 40 hits. Blimey!

haha, this is why "somebody" is SO grebt, it's like pure distilled gedge with a decent voice, and 15-odd years since my obsession with it (via 101) i can still remember almost all of the words...

and when i'm asleep
i want somebody
who can put their arms around me
and kiss me
ten-der-ly

I well remember a moment of massive collective shame in 92 or so when me and my pseudo-sophisticated art-pop mates all realised we all could recite ALL THE WORDS to "Somebody".

I can't believe they dared make it a double A-Side with the only song with worse/grebter lyrics than it!
