They literally copied most of it. But because Rosē and Bruno Mars have a huge fan base that will defend them with all they got. But they ripped off this song.
I'm 63 and heard this song for the first time on one of my SiriusXM stations two days ago. It's pretty catchy, so I added it to my playlist, which includes songs from the 1950's, all the way up to the past couple of years. Good music is always being made.
@@Nuj-rx8wk I said "I added it to my playlist, which includes songs for the 1950's, all they way up to the past couple of years". I didn't say this song was from the past couple of years.
Her name is Katie. The Ting Tings are an English indie pop duo from Salford, Greater Manchester formed in 2007. The band consists of Katie White (vocals, guitar, bass drums, bass guitar, cowbells) and Jules De Martino (drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, vocals).
For those wondering what the guy was singing along in the chorus: This song was in my head Now it's in my mind Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing And though I realize I cannot emphasize I'll stick around but just don't promise, nothing binding And baby, can't you see That you're so desperately A standing joker like a vocal one-liner Instead of sing-a-long This song is monotone I've gotta get some soul, I gotta get some feeling
The last time I went to Germany there was literally nothing good in the in-flight entertainment music but this album, I'd never heard them before but I swear I listened to the album four times through (13 hours is a long time to kill). Fell in love with their music, possibly because of stockholm syndrome but still.
Lmao I HATED them when I first heard them, they used to play this and Shut Up & Let Me Go a lot in mcdonalds when I worked there, both songs really irritated me :/ now I think they're catchy as hell...still defo got an irritating vibe to them lol but a lot of catchy songs are on a very thin line between catchy and just annoying lol
2007 - 2010 were the happiest times of my life. Partly spent in a mental hospital on LSD giving lectures to medical students on neurophysiology. While locked up for my own and others' safety because I asked for a BJ through an open window, I dunno. Thought forms, indeed.
This song starts so simply but by the end is so many layers of sound and lyrics it’s all but impossible to comprehend what you are hearing. Truly amazing
His lyrics: This song was in my head, now it's in my mind Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing Though I realize, I cannot emphasize I'll stick around, but just a promise, nothing binding However can't you see, that you're so desperately A standing joker like a vocal one-liner Instead of sing-along, this song is monotone I gotta get some soul, gotta get some feeling....
I wish lyric sites would put second/backing vocal lyrics with the main lyrics. They are such an essential part of the song. I can't picture this song without his part any more than I could imagine T'Pau's Heart and Soul without both the song and the background poetic rap together.
저두요! 처음엔 shut up and let me go 때문에 알게 됐는데 다른노래도 좋아하게 됐죠 ㅎㅎ Me too! At first, I found out because of "shut up and let me go." I started to like other songs too haha
One of the few things I love about RUclips is that the top comments on any video are almost always positive. It's a subtle reminder that maybe--just MAYBE--human beings are not all assholes.
If you are interested at what the drummer sings in the background at 2:56, here are the lyrics: This song was in my head, now it's in my mind, Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing, Though I realize, I cannot emphasize, I'll stick around, but just a promise, nothing binding, However can't you see, that you're so desperately, A standing joker like a vocal one-liner, Instead of sing-along, this song is monotone, I gotta get some soul, gotta get some feeling....

The way you worked pedals and loop pedals, fuzz boxes and just got it all together in a live performance was magnificent. this video doesn't reflect the live brilliance you could perform with a handful of modestly priced equipment to preform such a full sound. Truly a standout of your time, using the best equipment that live performances could have. And making it SING!
i used to listen to this 24/7 when I was like 6 or 7 years old (I'm 14 now and it was 2010 when i listened to it) and i found it today and im surprised because i still know all the words omggg
I had forgotten the existence of this song that I used to listen during my adolescence. Thank God I saw the video on IG, randomly. And now I'm nostalgic 🥺😍
I used to listen to this, back when I was in school, it used to come up a lot on VH1, that was like 11-12 years ago! And over the years this kept playing in my head everytime someone asked me what my name was.. I love this one so much!
I forgot how catchy this song is. It’s been buried in the deep recesses of brain all these years because I still remember this song. We’ll always have this song to remember that the Ting Tings had their brief moment in the spotlight
This was one of the last CDs I bought myself before completely going digital and streaming. It came out my senior year of high school and still puts a smile on my face.
I saw them perform this song live along with "Shut Up & Let Me Go" and "Be The One" at the Apple Store SoHo in New York City back in 2007. They gave a free mini-concert when these songs were brand new and were freshly promoting their "We Started Nothing" album. It was only 40-50 of us in the audience, and was before any of these song blew up on radio, they were just circulating on music blogs at the time. I FEEL OLD NOW, lol.
Im 58 in the usa n never heard this song or of the ting tings before 30 minutes ago. I instantly had to look it up as its catchy as hell and i cant get it out of my head. For real
Я была уверена, что там целая толпа музыкантов и, как минимум, две вокалистки. Боже, столько лет спустя узнать, что этих ребят всего двое и они делают такую офигенную музыку.. Обожаю.

It’s hard enough to write good music, it’s a while other ball of difficulty to execute a track that is beautifully put together, and the blending of their vocals is fantastic! Talented they are.
Over a decade later, and this is still one of my all-time favorites--in both audio and video. There are so many layers to the audio--I can listen on repeat and not get bored. I really like it when they're both singing towards the end. The video is genius in its simplicity, proof that all you need for a good video is talent, not grand special effects--though good looks doesn't hurt, of course, and those are in good supply here, too. 🙂

I’m 67 and heard this at a garage when seeking a breakfast Ginster. Have to say the intent hit me hard. I got a packet of mixes fruit Tic-tacsalong with the Ginster but this was throbbing in my mind. People do forget people’s name don’t they? Spot on
they are a million times better now. i just discovered them, thanks to a wedding when I realized what a bitch I can be. I had no idea that the bride's favourite bands are Goldfrapp and The Ting Tings. so I've been catching up here on youtube the last 3 days.
This is a great example of layering elements in music. When the song starts there’s almost nothing happening and by the end it’s all going off. It’s a great song.
If by 'all going off' you mean a melody on the second vocal line, a bass line, percussions and her still just shouting 'That's not my name' on C4. Move over, Bach, we've got a new musical maestro in town, and her name is ....?
Its just so ironic to see how people listen to this like a party or nostalgia song but it's actually really deep and about not being recognized as an artist Which is literally what kept happening, and I find that very sad, cause they're genuinely good
have been finding this since 2015 after hearing it from some guy's ring tone on a bus, it reminds me of this song, but i didn't ask him about the song, and kept finding it for so long. searched 2000's hits and things like this on youtube but didn't work. i was listening to 2000's songs yesterday and clicked on a video playing songs that are less general, and i found this song. So thrilled to finally know the name of the song that i've been finding for years. TvT
Watch their Glastonbury performance it`s perfection , a culmination of all their hard work and they fucking owned it. One of the best Glastonbury headlining acts ever
This does carry a strong message, about who you are & not who they think you are. The tribal rhythm & percussion is so strong you can't help but dance, stamp your feet, & thump the table to beat. I'd imagine they just as good live.
I used to think like that as a kid. Then, growing up, I realized it doesn't matter what I think who I am, because there must be something about me that lets all those people come to their "wrong" impression of me...
+ArtificialCabbage I swear to god this shit seems at least reasonable and bearable than the "Nae Nae" and booty infested lyrics that boomed after 2012 ,,,,,FFS music industry :(
Can we appreciate how the entire song is mostly just vocals and drums and it still sounds appealing, compared to other bands who have a whole orchestra of instruments
Appreciate it sure. There are also bands that have a lot of instruments that but the vocals are set higher to stand out. Then others that have the vocals at the same level and blend to become almost another instrument. I'm not sure how much you know about different genres out there though in the last 50 years or so. Lot's of stuff for sure.
Yeah, I saw her live and I said, WTF is this. I was impressed with the vocals and not just the eye candy. The fact that they have a real drummer as opposed to a fucking drum machine. Boy had it going on and live, live is what it's all about. For example 21 Pilots, and a few others, are realizing that and carrying the torch regardless of music style/genre. Big thumbs up!
This random weird girl that I barely knew used to call me Sandy in high school. It's not even close to my name. Years later I go to a hamburger place and she's working there and she's still calling me Sandy every time I go there
14 years on now and I still love this song, still love this band...
...and I still don't know her name.
it just popped up on my playlist, for some reason it hasn't been playing for years. forgot what a great song it is :)
.. its not jane :)
It’s not Stacy
google it😁
Maybe Jolisa
Crazy how minimalist this song is overall, what an interesting pop song.
@@zava5025 lol ok. Keep thinking that while songs like this become big hits and make millions. You are so much smarter than us all.
@Grady Whitmangood call on that, they're definitely very similar. I always give the benefit of the doubt but it's possible you're right

This is like 20yrs old
What I'm getting from the replies is that they're implying you're wrong and good music isn't still being made you're just late to the part.
She would save us a lot of time by just telling us her name.
😂🤣😂🤣
It's not Tina???
Haaah
@@doggolovescheese1310 Katie White but I think you're missing the point... :P

This is one of the all-time great pop songs. It just builds and builds and the repetition is monumental.

She should tell us earlier.
For those wondering what the guy was singing along in the chorus:

Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing

I cannot emphasize
I'll stick around but just don't promise, nothing binding

That you're so desperately
A standing joker like a vocal one-liner

This song is monotone
I've gotta get some soul, I gotta get some feeling

无意间刷到ROSE和火星哥的APT，节奏一响起来，我就想到了ting tings的这首歌！专门进来想对比看看，没想到mv都差不多！😅！还是这首好听！
新歌剛發佈一小時後 我就覺得很像 但不好意思留言，怕被她們的粉絲攻擊😅
突然脑海想起这首歌。原来是Apt 的旋律 有点点相似
可是這首歌也是採樣Toni Basil的Mickey而且MV也有相似之處...
都是一種風格，說不清的，目前沒被定性為明顯抄襲，採樣不算抄襲，英語流行音樂也有爛大街的和弦，而且你聽過的那些主流爆款曲可能都採樣過，就像華語音樂爛大街的卡農和弦，要說這就叫抄襲估計大部分歌不能聽了，另外副歌部分也是lady gaga愛用的調式，源頭都是八九十年代的流行樂調式
@@andrewchuang1119你怕是不知道這歌也是採樣toni basil的mickey吧，tnmn發行出來後就有討論這個的

Had to come watch this after APT. I remember jamming out to this back in the day.
This band is actually very fun to see in concert! It is crazy to see just the two of them performing all parts for having a big sound!
I saw them perform this song live along with "Shut Up & Let Me Go" and "Be The One" at the Apple Store SoHo in New York City back in 2007.

"That's Not My Name"
Four letter word 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)
[Chorus:]They call me 'hell'
They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
They call me 'quiet'
But I'm a riot
Mary-Jo-Lisa
Always the same
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 glammed up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time at night
Lock myself away
Listen to me, I'm not
Although I'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)
[Chorus]
[Jules in the background:]
This song was in my head, now it's in my mind
Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing
Though I realize, I cannot emphasize
I'll stick around, but just a promise, nothing binding
However can't you see, that you're so desperately
A standing joker like a vocal one-liner
Instead of sing-along, this song is monotone
I gotta get some soul, gotta get some feeling....
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
[continues with chorus overlapping]
haha love to see APT gave so many others nostalgic and throwback vibes. the ting tings remind me so much of my teenage years.
It’s hard enough to write good music, it’s a while other ball of difficulty to execute a track that is beautifully put together, and the blending of their vocals is fantastic! Talented they are.

@@eriklarson9137there's bad music with over 1 billion views, dude
❤ totally agree...Well Said...😊

god damn it sips
Hahaha I agree
He's right. This song sucks.
They call me El Pumpo!
They call me Mac 10
Turps is just like her at singing the song!
Over a decade later, and this is still one of my all-time favorites--in both audio and video. There are so many layers to the audio--I can listen on repeat and not get bored. I really like it when they're both singing towards the end. The video is genius in its simplicity, proof that all you need for a good video is talent, not grand special effects--though good looks doesn't hurt, of course, and those are in good supply here, too. 🙂
What is the drummer saying?
Spot on 👏

This song was in my head, now it's in my mind Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing Though I realize, I cannot emphasize I'll stick around, but just a promise, nothing binding.
However, can't you see, that you're so desperately A standing joker like a vocal one-liner?
Instead of sing-along, this song is monotone.
I got to get some soul, got to get some feeling....

The new song of Rosé FT Bruno Mars reminded me of this song
Me too
They copied it

Just reminding myself. A tiny masterpiece. Still sounds fresh.
as fresh as a fart awfull
the most upbeat song about isolation. god i love it
I’m 67 and heard this at a garage when seeking a breakfast Ginster. Have to say the intent hit me hard. I got a packet of mixes fruit Tic-tacsalong with the Ginster but this was throbbing in my mind. People do forget people’s name don’t they? Spot on
Thats not the point of the song. The 4 letter name is "drug"
I don’t agree that the point of this song is drugs. Sorry, but i hope you are well and have a smile on an hourly basis
They call me the Space Cowboy
They call me the Gangster of Love
They call me Maurice
That's not my name.
For the love of God, let this be *the* David French.
@willshogren1987 who is THE David French? I may be...
😂😂😂😂
I just love how the music becomes more diverse and intense with each round. A lot of songs do that, but it never fails.
Omg I remember this song randomly today and I'm so happy to hear this again.

GREAT TRACK!
This song only gets better with age, like a fine wine.
very true..
Couldn't have got any worse, that's for sure...
@@Malc2169 very true..
i lsit3en to this with league
@@Adi1995cv ok thats good..
I had forgotten about the Ting Tings and how good this was. That's what I love about RUclips.
they are a million times better now. i just discovered them, thanks to a wedding when I realized what a bitch I can be. I had no idea that the bride's favourite bands are Goldfrapp and The Ting Tings. so I've been catching up here on youtube the last 3 days.
Heyyyyyy 😝😝😝

November 2019: just remebered the song from watching Horrible Bosses 😁
This is a great example of layering elements in music. When the song starts there’s almost nothing happening and by the end it’s all going off. It’s a great song.
This was playing background during a morning show from a rock station. And also totally agree.
If by 'all going off' you mean a melody on the second vocal line, a bass line, percussions and her still just shouting 'That's not my name' on C4. Move over, Bach, we've got a new musical maestro in town, and her name is ....?

HAHA got nostalgic memories after listening to APT and finally found the song I was thinking of
Yep it's a great song , love the combination of voices, drum beats,, awesome ❤
Love her voice man 👍👍👍
Yussss😍😍💕
According to Wikipedia, their names are Katie White and Jules De Martino.
@dread true =D Har har!
dread true 😂 😂 😂
Nice info
Do they ever actually say there real names in the song?
So, it's about 50/50 that's their actual names, then
APT song and video music is totally this vibe. The Ting Tings is a historical mark! ❤
Its september 2016,I am still listening this song 👍🏻
October 2016

Fun song. Doesn't get old.
Idc who you are or what kind of music you like, this will never not be a fucking banger and it's truly a masterclass in lyric writing.
😂 naw
Amen brother
That was a little too on the nose...
Its just so ironic to see how people listen to this like a party or nostalgia song but it's actually really deep and about not being recognized as an artist
Which is literally what kept happening, and I find that very sad, cause they're genuinely good
Yeah the ghost writers NEVER get recognized.
ILoveYou that’s the idea of a ghost writer 😭😭
I’m 12 and this is deep
She's a singer not an artist... duh!
If you want to get recognized, come up with original art
"Mary-Jo-Lisa" is forever my most fav line in the song ^^. Thanks APT. for reminding me of my old fav song!
My african grey parrot likes this one. He sings along to it
Please upload that.

Its Katie White
That is her name
I’ve been looking for this for 10 years, never knew the name of the song or the band... finally I can sleep at night 😂
Tiesha Allen it was only made 8yrs ago so how could you have been looking for this for 10yrs?
Lol ikr,has happened to me few times over the years with different songs,sound hound helps
it was released in 2008.
have been finding this since 2015 after hearing it from some guy's ring tone on a bus, it reminds me of this song, but i didn't ask him about the song, and kept finding it for so long. searched 2000's hits and things like this on youtube but didn't work. i was listening to 2000's songs yesterday and clicked on a video playing songs that are less general, and i found this song. So thrilled to finally know the name of the song that i've been finding for years. TvT
Watch their Glastonbury performance it`s perfection , a culmination of all their hard work and they fucking owned it. One of the best Glastonbury headlining acts ever
듣자마자 이 노래 생각나서 들으러 옴..엄마차에서 자주 들었던 노래ㅠㅠ오랜만에 들으니까 너무 좋다
This does carry a strong message, about who you are & not who they think you are. The tribal rhythm & percussion is so strong you can't help but dance, stamp your feet, & thump the table to beat. I'd imagine they just as good live.
It's absolutely simple yet alot of fun at the same time.
mh yes very deep indeed
They call me Annie r u OK. And Annie get your gun. I also come back as a killer doll posessed if all else fails😋🤗.
I used to think like that as a kid. Then, growing up, I realized it doesn't matter what I think who I am, because there must be something about me that lets all those people come to their "wrong" impression of me...
Bore off clowm
She is gorgeous !
I used to not like this song...
Now I love it. Halp.
+ArtificialCabbage I swear to god this shit seems at least reasonable and bearable than the "Nae Nae" and booty infested lyrics that boomed after 2012 ,,,,,FFS music industry :(

Such a banger!
Her name is Katie White for those wondering.

Whats her name? Stacey????? 🥴

This just popped in my head while in the shower and it's been at least 5 years since I recalled it 😅

I still don't know her name, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.
oh so pretty !!!!!!
Katie White :)

Lps Vintage i
OMG ME TOO 😜😉
Remember when RUclips had friend requests back in the day? These guys messaged me asking me to check out their first song which was this :P
But ur from 2013
darthbelle AJ I had an account back in 2008, but i deleted it :)
Oh lol
Can we appreciate how the entire song is mostly just vocals and drums and it still sounds appealing, compared to other bands who have a whole orchestra of instruments
compared to other bands? im in.. post the others
Appreciate it sure. There are also bands that have a lot of instruments that but the vocals are set higher to stand out. Then others that have the vocals at the same level and blend to become almost another instrument. I'm not sure how much you know about different genres out there though in the last 50 years or so. Lot's of stuff for sure.
There's bass and guitar in there as well as other percussion, just not in the video. Listen closely...
Cutbacks spinal tap now tour without a drummer 🤔🐶🎸🎸❤️🍒
While I agree, you need to learn what an orchestra is.
Ting ting 😮💨🔥🔥
*This is literally soo iconic*
hey nice comment
Then What's Her Name?
her name is jeff :v
Jeff from the Overwatch Team?
Is brilliant!
Where have the last 10 years gone? Argh xx
Uhh
no kidding. :/
Mrs. Dash yeah no shit
Absolutely

This is my anthem that my mates know me by...
Thanks

Tings❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, I saw her live and I said, WTF is this. I was impressed with the vocals and not just the eye candy. The fact that they have a real drummer as opposed to a fucking drum machine. Boy had it going on and live, live is what it's all about. For example 21 Pilots, and a few others, are realizing that and carrying the torch regardless of music style/genre. Big thumbs up!
Rihanna: What's my name?
Destiny Childs: Say my name!
The Ting Tings: That's not my name!

I like that actually

Long time, no see Sandy.
