Fruit Machine

Time for a music review! It's the return of Brit-Pop! A great duo-band arrived in the music industry. Perhaps you have heard their songs on the air before, but have no idea what the band name is. Well, they are The Ting Tings (which means small pen*s in Japan, yeah, no kidding!)
I've listened to the whole album, and I thought their tunes are very catchy! Great DJ was awesome, and so are That's Not My Name, and Shut Up & Let Me Go. I would recommend you to check out their songs, one is linked through the YouTube link below.
*EDIT: Apparently I can't embed the YouTube video here, so you will have to click on the video link at the title below. Click it, you'll love it (=

That's Not My Name
By: The Ting Tings

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)

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)

Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?


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.
