I hate how people try and discredit them. Yes, and I'm not sure why people do. OK, you can dislike the music if you want, but at least they write their songs and play instruments, which is more than I can say for *insert diva here*.

Good song. Will hopefully do well for them - I think their music is worthy of atleast some success, no matter how small.

But I'm not daft enough to think they are anything more than a novelty act. ;)

This track is a great party anthem, and I believe is highly suited to US radio success. On one of the major networks' New Years Eve specials, Ting Tings were one of the headliners and this song was performed as the first song after midnight, when the most possible people were viewing. It's been surging on iTunes as a result. All these things are good signs for the song, I believe.

So, I finally caved and bought this album today. "Great DJ" and "That's Not My Name" burned on me so quickly that I wasn't going to buy the whole album, but this is getting a lot of play on my alternative station (FNX in Boston) and the DJ's keep mentioning what a fantastic album this is. I'm not disappointed either. The songs are more catchy than annoying, which I'm happy about. I really like "Fruit Machine", but we'll see how quickly this album burns on me.
I'm really hoping for success with this song on POP, but I'm not expecting much. If Lily Allen's "Smile" could barely crack the top 40, I could not see this song doing much more. Prove me wrong Tings!
Oh - and my friends LOVE this song. We have for a while now, it truly IS a party track! :)

cracking song this - by far the best of the four they've released in the UK.

Agreed, the first two singles were far better. I think this'll easily best the peak of "SUALMG" though, as they've become more well known in the 3-4 months since that charted.

I'd be curious to hear the whole album, to see what kind of variety there is. I don't get the attraction of this song at all. I liked SUALMG a little bit, but this one . . . meh. YMMV.

So this now has three videos and that was the worst and least US-friendly of the lot? Wonderful. HOT song!

I'm so surprised that most people on here don't like this. This is the most CHR-friendly of their songs by far

I don't really like it that much. Their album is good though, there's only a couple of duff songs on there.
