Darkness Painted Light
by Pixelstate

Comment:
This was DPL's best album, but it's disappointing sales ended up tearing apart the band. Fans were confused by the lack of lyrics and how the songs didn't have beginnings or endings, they just tangled together. The fault lay squarely with their percussionist Tito, who wrote all the "songs" on this album during a dream, or so he claimed. He dreamed that he was writing music by sticking apple seeds into a pear... and amazingly was able to remember and transcribe every note when he woke up. Forcing his bandmates to be true to his dream, he created a work of true vision and integrity, a work doomed to fail in this sad, waking world.

DEAF POET'S LAMENTATION
by hotpasta

Comment:
It's a little known fact that Stevie Wonder plays keyboards for this band, whose frontman, Karpov Key, amazingly was indeed deaf. And the drummer never spoke. They are more commonly known by the name they switched to for their re-ponymous third album: "The Three Monkeys"

Dubious Parenthetic Lotus
by SAC

Comment:
dpL started in an ashram in Kentucky, when three hillbilly monks realized that their chants were harmonizing really well, and smelled much dinero. Unfortunately, the success of their first album ruined their inner peace and they became Episcopalians, at which point they were no longer able to stay in tune. 9 (10 if it were square)

Depraved Primate Losers
by strangeghost

Comment:
DPL got its name from the lead singer's wife. They used to be called Macho Macho Men but were threatened by a law suit from the Village People (that was the only thing the Village People did that year. It was right before their ill-fated New Year's Eve with Dick Clark comeback). 7

Deconstructing Primitive Lies
by thegrandwazoo

Comment:
DPL named themselves after a psychological self-help book designed to help codependent people ease out of hurtful relationships. They were very successful until the bass player actually read the book and realized what complete jerks his bandmates were. 8

Devoted Pasta Lovers
by De Sousa

Comment:
The devoted pasta lovers were known as the best (only?) Italian house music band of the 90's. Interestingly enough, they really couldn't dance. In fact, it was when they were spotted in the Limelight trying to dance that their songs stopped selling.

Deathly Pale Legs

SHAVE ME

My legs are blue
What can I do
but dream of you

as you shave me

hold them aloft
they'll be so soft
when the hair comes off

as you shave me

electric disposable silvery blades
descending to sing me a sharp serenade

shave me shave me shave me

waving like a see of hair
over here and under there

shave me shave me shave me
