It’s hard for me to think of Ting Tings as anything more than a band created to sell Mac products and appear on children’s programs, but there are adults who listen to them outside their jingles: the BBC and experts of British descent, for instance. We Started Nothing‘s “That’s Not My Name” is a pretty popular song. The UK duo excel at glossy visuals. This video — complete with glow-in-the-dark “Hollaback” drum line and jump ropers and two well-dressed Tings — should do the trick.
We’ll locate a universal embed ASAP.

doesn’t work outside the US
The LA Riots remix is the only way I can listen to this song. This video is useless
I liked that song. Then I got like 4 seconds into the video and it’s just too much.
I really can’t decide how i feel about the Ting Tings. There music is extremely catchy… but i just don’t know.
The Ting Tings, Calvin Harris, Lil Wayne and the Killers? Come on stereogum, pick up the game.
where’s Tony Basil?
I love the Tings Tings
the video is kinda cool but that song is awful.
Hey Stereogum awesome report on the new Ting Tings video! I can always rely on you guys to give me the scoop on all the newest underground indie bands out there right now, Thanks!
Yeah Gum, please don’t cover bands once they achieve a modicum of success. Once a group becomes popular we should pretend it doesn’t exist. Only the indiest of the indie plz!
this is one of the most annoying songs I’ve ever heard, it’s like your ears want to turn themselves inside out!
Who cares if they’ve gotten successful? They’re loud, they’re catchy, and they’re very Now. Just roll with it and get your undies out of a bunch.
Hmmm. looking at their tour dates, wonder who is playing COACHELLA…
You forgot to mention that the Ting Tings were also made to appear on MTV.
Why does Stereogum tease us Canadian readers so?
The more attractive I find Katie White, the worse their music becomes…
There they go ripping off The Kills again…
KCG
didn’t this come out a LONG time ago?
Nobody likes this band, right?
so what is her name?
When I hear the start of “That’s not my name” on the radio, I usually have time to change the station. But if I catch it in the middle, I find it hard to reach the knob before spontaneously exclaiming “SHUT THE F*** UP!” at the radio. It is the most annoying song I’ve heard in a long time.
