The Ting Tings - That’s Not My Name (video, lyrics & mp3)
Labels: The Ting Tings 0 comments
These Ting Tings, and their stripped down musical stylings. First it was the very lo-fi Great DJ, which I wasn’t impressed with. That’s Not My Name, by comparison is a major improvement.
The whole song revolves around a repetitive Hey Mickey style drumbeat, which is the only instrumentation at the beginning, gradually joined by guitars and bass and other sound effects until the whole thing builds into a raucous noisy crescendo.
Let’s not mince our words here - That’s Not My Name is one of those songs that somehow straddles the line between great pop music and highly annoying. Fortunately they manage to keep the tune on the side of great pop…
My favourite lyric from the song? “Maybe Joleisa” Just such a funny name, delivered in such a way that you’ve got to try it out for yourself.
The bottom line is that the Ting Tings have crafted a fun pop song. It won’t change your life, but then again it probably never promised to.
And just in case you’re wondering what her from The Ting Tings’ name is…it’s Katie White.
The Ting Tings - That’s Not My Name lyrics
Four little words just to get me along
It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue and I
I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)
They call me 'Hell'
They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me 'Quiet Girl'
But I'm a riot
Mary, jo, lisa
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting clamped up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time and I
Lock myself away
Listen to me, Oh No!
Although I'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)
They call me 'Hell'
They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'Her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me 'Quiet Girl'
But I'm a riot
Mary, jo, lisa
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
