Goes for adds in February according to Allaccess.
I can't stand this at all. It's so annoying beyond words. It hit #1 in the UK months ago anyways.

It's been MONTHS and I still can't decide whether I like them or if I find them incredibly irritating.

Anyway, I swear I've seen this thread about five times already in this forum lol, or at least threads for Great DJ and SUALMG. Have they all flopped, because really, this is so old, it needs to just go away.

I'm leaning toward heavily irritating. I've heard Great DJ, Shut Up and this song, and I honestly don't get how they even got noticed, let alone signed.

I think they could have a hit with this but not with any other song. They yell ONE HIT WONDER.

I hope they can have a Pop hit with this. Ditto. This is the only thing of theirs that really doesn't burn for me, like, at all.

Hah, I like this song but I can't listen to it all the time! All my friends LOVE it though. We have a friend who we call Tracy, though her real name is Rachel, and every time we hear this she changes the line to "they call me TRACY" it's actually really funny... But yeah I have a large group of friends who are into music (though not as much as me obvi) and they are usually pretty good hit indicators so hopefully this song can get some love in the US!

I have a love/hate relationship with this song. It can become a tad annoying after too many listens, but it's kinda fun.
I like The Ting Tings. "Shut Up & Let Me Go", "Great DJ" and "Fruit Machine" are some of their others songs that I liked.

I love Attitude's description of this working 'as both an anthem for the dispossessed and a ringtone for ten year olds'. It's one of my favourite pop songs of the year. The build up and climax are epic. Also, I'm glad that they've finally seen sense to work them to Pop, where they're clearly better suited than they were for Alternative.

The chorus has potential but the rest of it is so immature and just plain bad. It reminds me a lot of Paris, Nicole Ritchie and Miley Cyrus type of music. It has this nonsensical lyrics down pat like a lot of them but the sound and the chorus is what they should strive toward.

They call me ho/they call me stacey/ that's not my name/ that's not my name
Do I really need to elaborate on that? I mean that alone sounds like something Paris, Ritchie or Lindsey would sing.

"They call me ho?" lol "They call me Hell." And yes, I really would like to know what's nonsensical about them. I obviously think there's some merit to the lyrics, so I'd like to hear the reasons underlying your statement.

The lyrics:
It basically has the same meaning as Mika's "Grace Kelly", except from the point of view of a woman instead of a gay man.

I actually like this song. It's super catchy, but it does admitedly get irritating after too many listens. Of all their songs, only "Great DJ" has below-average burn factor to me.

'SUALMG' did nothing, let's see how this performs.

I listen to this song much more than SUALMG or Great DJ.
I hate how people try and discredit them. They've got a pretty solid album and I can't wait to hear new material from them. I feel like I've been listening to their CD for far too long.
Also, do they strike anyone as a slightly less talented version of The Sounds? They've always felt really similar to me (The Sounds being one of my favorite bands of all time).
