Great DJ
The Ting Tings Lyrics


Fed up with your indigestion
Swallow words one by one
Your folks got high at a quarter to five
Don't you feel your growing up undone

Nothing but the local DJ
He said he had some songs to play
What went down from his fooling around
Gave hope and a brand new day
Imagine all the girls
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee

And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums

Nothing was the same again
All about where and when
Blowing our minds in our life unkind
Gotta love the BPM
When the smoke was all baton
Remember how this begun
We wore his love like a hand in a glove
Where the future plays it all night long

And nothing but the girls
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee

And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums

Imagine all the girls
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee
And the drums
Ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah, oh

And all the girls
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee

And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums

Great DJ
"Great DJ" is the name of the third single by English Indie pop band The Ting Tings. Vocalist Katie White states that the song was written by "playing a D chord on the guitar for hours, because that's all I could play. And then I put my finger on the wrong string, and got what I discovered was an augmented chord. And that was the riff!" The single was originally released as a double A-side along with "That's Not My Name".

And then I put my finger on the wrong string, and got what I discovered was an augmented chord. And that was the riff!" The single was originally released as a double A-side along with "That's Not My Name".

When "Great DJ" was re-released it did not enter the UK chart until 1 week after the individual re-release of single "That's Not My Name" went to #1.

The cover sleeves for the single were in fact recycled: Katie White and Jules De Martino gathered old 7" records from numerous car boot sales and charity shops in and around Manchester, turned the sleeves inside out and customised them to create new sleeves for this single.

"Great DJ" was featured in the 2-hour season premiere of the new show 90210. "Shut Up and Let Me Go" was also featured. The track also appears on the soundtrack of American Teen. "Great DJ" is also the trailer music for 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire and was used in commercials for Year One.This song was also used in commercials for Indonesian mineral water Mizone

Fed up with your indigestion.
Swallow words one by one.
Folks got high at a quarter to five.
Don’t you feel your growing up undone.

Nothing but the local DJ,
who said he had some songs to play.
What went down from his fooling around
gave hope and a brand new day.

Imagine all the girls
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee
And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums
Oh!

Nothing was the same again
All about where and when
Blowing our minds in our life unkind
gotta love the BPM.
When the smoke was all baton
Remembering how this begun.
We wore his love like a hand in a glove
Where the future plays it all night long.

and nothin' but the girls
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee
and "the drums" [x19]

Imagine all the girls
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee
and the drums
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, oh

all the girls
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the boys
Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings
Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee
and the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.

I was the happiest I've ever been when these songs came out, when I was doing my PhD. The Ting Tings are really my band.
