This was the point that a 21 year old me knew he would never understand pop music in any way shape or form ever again.
Who seriously heard this song and thought, "this sounds amazing, I need to buy the album!"?
It was catchy as a gimmick song but I'm absolutely unsurprised that we didn't hear anything further from 'The Ting Tings'.
Their song "Shut Up And Let Me Go" was fairly successful, too, so they weren't quite a one-hit wonder.
I actually quite enjoy their 2018 album "The Black Light", even if it wasn't that well received. It's kind of a stripped back indie dance record, and it's fine. But they did an alternate version called the "Manchester Version" that had a much more raw, indie rock sound to it that I dig. It's no masterpiece by any means, but it's something I'm happy to put on every now and then.
Oh I didn't know about the Manchester version! I have to hear it now, thanks.
Let me know what you think when you've listened!
