THE TING TINGS have been forced to pull a song from the Chinese release of their debut album - because authorities are worried it hides subliminal messages.
The British duo, who release their LP We Started Nothing later this month (May08), have agreed to the Chinese officials' demands the group axe a track called Impacilla Carpisung, which has no English lyrics.
Singer Katie White explains, "It's just gobbledegook (nonsense), so the Chinese can't translate it. We tried to write English lyrics to it but it just didn't work - it lost all its staccato-ness.
"I can't believe that the Chinese think it is some sort of message from the West."
