WTF? Of The Day: Jay-Z Signs The Ting Tings to Roc Nation?

by Spottie Ottie on Nov.12, 2009, under Uncategorized

Have you heard of the Ting Tings? Unless you have a little sister under the age of 16, probably not.  The singer, who is sort of hot and British, sings much like the Korean lady at our dry cleaners does while hemming our pants, if said Korean lady downed 36 Red Bulls at the high point of a 3 day meth binge.

They’re magnum opus, “That’s not my Name” will probably end up going down as this generations “Hey Mickey You’re So Fine”.

They’re not horrible, it is just hard to see their appeal to Jay-Z. When Hova rapped over  Amy Winehouse, that was hot, we’d like to see something like that again. But the Ting Tings? We must be missing something.

From Paste Magazine:

According to someone close to the Ting Tings, Jay-Z is hoping to work with the band as well. “Jay is hoping to lend his production skills to some of the new material,” the source told U.K. newspaper Daily Star. “The staccato rhythmic style of the Ting Tings sits well with what he does best, so that was the attraction. Jay can make them one of the biggest British bands in America.”

We’ll reserve judgement till we see what Jay does with this. In the meantime, we bring you the TING TINGS!
