Ting Tings - "Great DJ"

[Cody]

NO NO NO NO NO

QUIT RELEASING SONGS TO ALTERNATIVE YOU TALENTLESS PIECES OF ANNOYANCE


I HATE this group with a passion, and yes, I started this thread for this single that goes for adds September 22nd

[/rant]

I needed to vent, and doing it over a band I hate releasing a song I dont like is perfect, because I dont attack anyone personally that way

[PHOBES]

Wasn't this the first single?

[American Idiot]

I also can't stand any of the three songs I've heard from this band. Annoying is the absolute best word to describe them.

And yes, I believe this was the first single.

[The Party Captain]

Ah just cause they release it doesn't mean radio will play it

[Cody]

yeah apparently it was, but was more of a promo single than anything else, then they released that annoying single that came before Thats Not My Name I forget what it was called but I hated it. This better not be another one that sticks around enough to get a mediocre 30s peak, I dont even wanna see it in the top 50

[crash46]

"That's Not My Name" still with top 20 pop status is one of the most thoroughly hateful acts of chart run I've seen in 23 years of following the music charts. It's garbage, and so was "Great DJ".

[PHOBES]

Yeah well, at least "Shut Up And Let Me Go" was somewhat catchy. I don't know how "That's Not My Name" turned out to be the big hit from this era.

+1, buddy, +1. But even Puddle of Mudd made a good song once too. Sometimes flukes happen and there's just no way for anyone to explain 'em.

[Shadows in the Dark]

I think this song came close to top 40 upon its initial release.

But yeah, this band annoys the crap out of me as well. Hopefully their next album flops.

[My Life Is A Stereo]

I'm not sure why this doesn't just stay on CHR. At best its alternative for an eight year old.

[Mega248]

Peaks so far:

"Great DJ"- #44
"Shut Up and Let Me Go"- #30
"That's Not My Name"- #29

So the reasoning is that the two barely-top 30s they've since had has made them enough of an Alternative staple to allow "Great DJ" to become a much bigger hit this time around? Riiiight.

[G-Reg]

Wow, this thread is chock-full of hate.

I'm sorry to be a ray of sunshine but FNX plays this band a lot. I hear them all the time.

[jvandyck87]

Yeah, I liked "Shut Up And Let Me Go" a lot, but hate "That's Not My Name." I've heard this before too, but I forget how I felt about it. I'm guessing somewhere in between the first two. They had a couple other album tracks that I like and a couple others that really pissed me off. They're all over the place with me.

Wow, I don't remember "Great DJ" charting at all.

I can totally see why people hate this band. 8 times out of 10 I probably would. But... I just don't, and in fact, I like "That's Not My Name" a heck of a lot.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Yeah, I never saw what the big deal was. Although maybe it's because I tend to be sour toward anyone my roommate vocally loves with his nearly awful taste in music. It's the main reason why I can't give the Veronicas a chance.

But The Veronicas are hot, not sure about their though.

[Enigma.]

How can you dislike this song?! It's genious, their best to date

[Pipa]

"Shut Up And Let Me Go" may have harped on "Take Me Out" a bit too much, but I like it just fine. Their other songs just aren't that good.

[Cody]

I just dont think this "Band" belongs on alternative at all. There are more deserving groups that dont make it on alternative. Ting Tings should stick to CHR/Hot AC

[WotUNeed]

I bought We Started Nothing because I loved "That's Not My Name." Initially, I played that track to death and only somewhat paid attention to the rest. With time and repeated listens, I came around to just about every track.

"Great DJ" is the only song I still skip more often than not. Just cannot get into it. I hope they're not actually re-promoting this one anywhere. I think that'd be a bad idea, especially considering the age of the album at this point. I think they'd best be served by taking a short break and coming back with a kick-ass lead single from a sophomore effort.

Perhaps this will jog your shellshocked memory:

"ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah"

"ee-ee, ee-ee, ee-ee-ee, ee-ee"

"And the drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums. The drums....etc."

Oh yeah, P.S. "Shut Up and Let Me Go" ftw. Why couldn't that have been their mammoth Pop crossover song???? :'(

[Taylor.]

SU&LMG was great, TNMN was alright. This is semi-catchy but not oriented to this format at all. Don't see how re-releasing it makes any sense.
