| David Bowie – Fame Lyrics
| 19 years ago

I laughed when I read the comments, because there is such irony in the fact that, when given the chance to interpret a song crafted by Bowie and Lennon --two of the most beloved and celebrated artists of the last forty years-- not one person knowingly shared any real insight, but instead chose to analyze Bowie's sexuality and private life; in doing so, the commenters *unknowingly* affirmed the theme of this song.
"Fame, puts you there where things are hollow." Indeed, more attention is directed at his ambiguous sexuality than his work, proving that substance is hollowed by notoriety. |

this is my favourite DM song. everything out of david's mouth is sexy."
Martin sings this song; Dave doesn't sing at all... Well, unless you count the groaning, which you can hear loudly in the foreground at the very beginning, as well as in the background throughout the entire song. |

| Depeche Mode – Boys Say Go! Lyrics

Uh. Social commentary about the cold war? Highly unlikely. Vince Clarke - who wrote this song - isn't exactly known for penning symbolic and insightful double entendres, so much as infectiously catchy "what you hear is what you get" pop songs. Depeche Mode weren't much more than a synthpop band among the throngs until Martin Gore assumed full song-writing responsibility and turned the band in to a masterpiece-producing phenomenon, following the departure of Vince Clarke. Before gaining mainstream success, Depeche Mode gained a loyal "underground" following in the club circuit - particularly in the gay community. "Boys Say Go!" and "What's Your Name?" (both are on Speak and Spell), are blatantly homoerotic songs - a classic example of catering to the largest audience at that time. |
