That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings (ASL signed song)

It's fun to sign songs so I thought I'd try a little simple video. The song is "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings (the music is coming from my computer, and yes, I did buy this song from iTunes!). Sorry I got a little lost near the end (I'm not a fan of repetitve lyrics, but it's my first time so hey!)

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)

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 girl'
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 throw 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 and I
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)

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 girl'
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

Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me "bird"?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me "bird"?

@MultiBlueBerry101 Where does it say I was actually singing the song as opposed to signing the song in ASL? Let me know so I can fix it.

I really like your video! What do you think this song is really saying? Are the lyrics saying that she is noticing that people are not calling her her rightful name. Or is there something more? Like sexism? Or what do you think…just asking? peace
