Lyrics:
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)
[Chorus:]
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'
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 threw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time at night
Lock myself away
Listen to me, I'm not
Although I'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)
[Chorus]
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
[continues with chorus overlapping]

Absolutely one of the best performances ever given to a funeral home.

The crowd was grieving a loss of some kind. Tings Tings brought their spirits up best they could. Great job by The Ting-a-lings!

[@johndorcic4488]

My condolences on the loss of the entire audience’s grandmothers. Their passing, only minutes before this performance, is the only explanation for the somber reception to a great performance. Nona would have wanted you to enjoy yourselves, you twaddles. ,

[@stevenA44]

Yeah the audience is pathetic. These two gave it their all and the audience has to be deaf!

[@JaywalkingTheWorld]

Indeed. And what a coincidence.

[@moisescarranza2513]

Wait what?

Somber reception to an average song? Sounds about right.

[@Nathan-gd7xq]

Jesus, every KZbin live music clip has some whiny snowflake complaining about the crowd not being into it enough. This is a showcase gig at South by Southwest. Most of the people would have been hearing the Ting Tings for the first time. What do you expect them to do, jump around like teenage girls at a Harry Styles show?

[@Heathcoatman]

@@Nathan-gd7xq Yeah, a bunch of fan-boys whining that their little crush didnt get a standing O. It's piped in music tracks, might as well be hearing a recording. Here in the States you need to actually play instruments to get the crowd pumped. Pushing play on a track machine isnt as skilled as these fan-boys think it is.

[@patrykjanuszewski4581]

Wow, the crowd wasn't giving them ANYTHING. They definitely deserve better than that.

[@samokoj]

bunch of zombies there indeed

[@dwj1231]

The audience is not dead, they just need some AC/DC and a red bull.

The audience should not take sleeping pills before a concert.

[@campfiremusicbyaegf]

Where is this crowd from? I listen to this almost everyday since a few weeks ago.

[@campfiremusicbyaegf]

I am upset with this crowd.

[@whipsmartchris]

4:20 - 5:40 - the song clicks into its powerful mesmerizing section. If you can, turn it loud and then imagine how difficult it would be to hit that peak when you're getting zero energy or "lift" back from the dead-ass audience of posers! The two never stop trying though and in the end they win. They didn't learn "plugging on thru a shit audience" in the studio. Roadwork is what toughens a band.

[@jillmeredith2012]

The crowd is so boring, I feel for these two fun professionals giving their all.

[@sexyyredsection]

I LOVE THIS PART OF THE SONG! always get goosebumps

[@daz4312]

Stumbled on these guys by accident last night, the official video of the song, loves it!!! Today I find this version. Most excellent! I'm a huge Blondie/Debbie Harry fan from way back in the early 70s, someone commented below they see some of her in this chick. I see it too, great energy, just enough anger for a song like this! I believe this concert was in Texas.... Apparently Texans don't know quite what to do with English bands..... Got to hand to her, she pounded right on through it like a trooper for a solid 8 min!

[@VIDS2013]

Check out "Shut Up And Let Me Go".

[@plaguedoctor198]

I love how almost no one says "name" when she points the microphone at the audience.

I seen them live in Dallas and they were fantastic. They brought one other musician with them so they could reproduce their sound live with very little prerecorded instruments. All I know is the audience loved them and a great time…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@vincentboyd9194]

i know this is late, but I love your comment. When I first heard these guys when they first came out w/this song I thought wow, they're going to be big. I think what was happening w/the crowd was they were music shock. They the "Ting Tings" seemed very 80's Indie, which had a lot of great bands and music back then. By the time they came around the "shit" pop music, auto tuned voices were hitting the scene and the hip hop line dancing. "Boring" music. When I watch the crowd the ones that seemed to be dancing were people that too me seemed dressed indie. People don't realize how hard it its to do what the Ting Tings were doing and end up in perfect timing, especially when looping was just hitting the scene w/auto tune. I think if they came out now, they would be super big.

I remember seeing this performance when DirectTV carried SXSW that year. Most of those people were there to see an act that cancelled and the Ting Tings were the back up act. She was so nervous and they became a big hit after that. I crushed on her for awhile, I admit it. Among the listed credits Victoria's Secret also played that song during their show that year.

[@augenmaugen]

Historically significant moment here (sort of, small history anyway). This was ‘07. The band was months old and they had only just started having some attention at home in the UK. The song/setup is incredibly sparse. From an outside perspective (and knowing that Katie is a banging vocalist but brand new at guitar) they really should have a guitarist, synth person or someone to fill in the gaps and keep things moving. But they turn on the party in their heads. Katie’s vocals and energy kick in and it pulls everything together. It’s a massive feat of swimming upstream against that audience; who probably simply don’t know what’s going on yet or understand what kind of artists these guys are.
