Band Name Origins:
- dc Talk was named because they started in Washington D.C. And the Talk is pretty self explanatory. When they became a bigger band the record label wanted them to think up something for the DC to mean. Thus they thought of "decent christian talk". Submitted by: RK_FAN_FOREVER
- Any hardcore fan of dc Talk will know how they got their name. All you have to do is listen to "When DC Talks" off of their album Nu Thang. In it, Toby sayd "D is for decent, I mean what I say. But obscene, I don't play that way. C is for Christ to the I-A-N. That's right, y'all, I'm born again." Hopefully this clears it up. Submitted by: Aaliyah

Hidden Messages:
"My Friend (So Long)"
At about 2:46 (about 2/3 into the song) part of an older track by the same band (called Jesus Freak) breaks into the song, followed by what I'm sure is lyrics from the Gotee Brothers hip-hop version of the same song.
