Anchored by an urgent electric drum beat that lurks like a ticking bomb beneath Vega’s murky vocals, its lyrics are stark, yet impenetrable. “Dream baby dream, forever and ever,” sings Vega in a voice that has been likened to Elvis – though it’s more of a hazy drawl, with Vega swallowing his consonants as if he lacks the enthusiasm to let his lips touch. “Yeah those dreams keep you free.”\nHere's an in-depth article about this song and its reimagining by artists like Bruce Springsteen and Neneh Cherry: https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/oct/30/suicide-dream-baby-dream-bruce-springsteen-adam-curtis-american-honey", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3557853, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3557853/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-26T06:29:51-07:00", "show": 64663, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64663/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia802807.us.archive.org/34/items/mbid-b70f4513-ffda-337e-9ef5-0219c67ff720/mbid-b70f4513-ffda-337e-9ef5-0219c67ff720-21283981294_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia802807.us.archive.org/34/items/mbid-b70f4513-ffda-337e-9ef5-0219c67ff720/mbid-b70f4513-ffda-337e-9ef5-0219c67ff720-21283981294_thumb250.jpg", "song": "That's Not My Name", "track_id": "01a11264-6060-3886-a615-0dbf5c9072b8", "recording_id": "c26dfed6-ef42-4085-8291-3e7eee4c32b7", "artist": "The Ting Tings", "artist_ids": [ "e618770f-e994-41c3-856f-1eedf56b6d74" ], "album": "We Started Nothing", "release_id": "b70f4513-ffda-337e-9ef5-0219c67ff720", "release_group_id": "fed2893e-e97b-3885-8ca6-da927e0d188f", "labels": [ "Columbia" ], "label_ids": [ "011d1192-6f65-45bd-85c4-0400dd45693e" ], "release_date": "2008-05-19", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "\"Ting Ting\" was the name of a Chinese colleague of Katie White at a shop, who told her that it sounded like the pronunciation of \"bandstand\" in Mandarin (亭).
