New Ting Tings Video - "That's Not My Name"
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.

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.
