The punk rock formula: Energy + simplicity= awesome.
Heard it last night and knew immediately it was a JW song-- but I thought it was a new Raconteurs song. Looked it up. really cool video to boot.
This song is sure to be a big hit.
Edited to add:
I;m a huge dork. Yeah, it's going to be a big hit, in 2004. In England. Apparently this song came out in 2003, and I just never heard it until last night. But I'm not alone, it wasn't added to youtube until this spring. And I guess Detroit rockers "electric six" deny the involvement of Jack White with their band, which is classic Jack White. From what I understand, Both parties, Jack and Electeic 6 deny even knowing who the others are "Jack White, who's he?"

Jack White is the man

Hmm, their new album (2005) was only released in the UK and Australia....
That is hilarious! There are a lot of great songs that never get any airtime on the radio, so no one knows about them. That's why I try and post "new" music on my My Space to give them some kind of props. Not that it will do a whole lot for them though...since I am only one person...
*Love the people in the video....perfect cast*
Posting for P in Confusion alias:
Oh my god that was probably one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! I could see Jack White doing something like that. But I pictured this video being more of a Jack Black thing. I think the funniest part for me was the fact that the moose lit up too......disturbing...yet insanely funny all at the same time. I love ridiculous videos like that. I wonder if that band's entire album sounds like that...hmmmm I think I might have to look into that. Also Keri wanted me to add that Britney Spears should have made an appearance with the moose doing a techno dance. I concur.
So, I was thinking about this because I heard Jack White on Q101 (I think he was at Lollapalooza). Jack White is indeed involved with this song- he sung backup vocals. They also became big in the same venues in Detroit that the White Stripes played when they hit, so there's probably more of a connection than that.
