[skaaragurl]

Nice Editing :DDDDD

[miguelcontrol]

brutal!!! this song is very powerfulll, I like it

[LiquidSwordsman313]

i live three blocks from the street jack is singing about. and bout the same distance from the yorba. no bs.

[minime1387]

I bet Jack would like this video.

[greeneyedladypotion]

i live in detroit! i know where lafayette is! white stripes forever

[RedPepaZA]

Jack fucking rocks that guitar. He's the shizzle!

[1slutface1011]

i love this song so much :D

[Person1036]

The rock scene in Detriot is awesome as ever. God, without the Detriot garage rock scene, there would probably be no punk.

[HectorsHeel]

Would love to buy this song for my ipod. Too bad it can't be bought anywhere.

[wtficantgetanamewtf]

@HectorsHeel I was lucky enough to find a 7 inch of this at my local record store.

[daneus11]

what video is the footage from??

[0mgshoes]

did they kiss at the end?

[XeniaHubris]

No, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that footage was from Blackpool, right before they played The Big 3 Killed My Baby. I think it was just Jack telling her what was next, since they don't use set lists. :p

[TheWhatOfficial]

[auddym]

Very well done, I wish they performed this song more often.  Although right now I'd be happy if they performed at all.

[LillyCandyCane]

you did a great job, great video for a great song.

thanks for posting :)

[adubon]

Many thanks

[hollywoodtuck]

This song is FRENCH because its all the street signs in detroit that are FRENCH... hes not speaking anything.. other than saying a bunch of Detroit Street Names. Detroit Fucking RULES... and so does Jack.

[Dookiebutt47]

how does a city rule? detroit sucks dick, the music scenes pretty nice thoguh

[dancingmooses56]

Do you even live in michigan? Detroit might have a bad name but it is so amazing. Southwest is where i hang out and jack grew up and it is pure majic. You really have to look to appreciate it.

[Dookiebutt47]

btw, its just a town, thats pretttttttttttay lame if u think ur ton is cool. thats like "i have nothig better in life to think about cuse my mom died" shit, u should get a new mom

[dancingmooses56]

thats not what im even saying im just pointing out how awesome the rock revival is there. idk why ur even talking about my mom cuz i never said anything abt anyone. and btw my mom is still alive and kicking. gosh ur stupid.

[cornyking1992]

@hollywoodtuck then he is singing in english because names never count he also says i'm ready teddy to rock and roll

and yes Detroit does indeed fucking rule

[Pandemonium44]

would be awesome to have that rare vinyl this was on... White stripes is MAN oh MAN fanatastic!

[peaceric]

this song kicks ass! it reminds me of jimmy the exploder

[HahaIPownedYou]

i take it they have never done this song live since hes speaking french and you edited the video to make it look like they were plaing it? great song by the way love it

[adubon]

At the time I made it there wasn't footage available or any that I knew of. Now, there are around 4 live videos of the song.

[STUNTS1516]

are there really? you know were i can find them i cant find them on youtube,i'd love to see it live.

[iluvjackwhitemost]

I've heard this recording differently, but man, I dig the distortion. RAW just plain RAW! adubon, you by far have the most static, raw, fresh White Stripes induced channel I've ever seen. You are a magic man.

[92bjubilee]

Fantastic, it just screams garage rock! Also lovly job on syncing the Reading festival 2002to the song.

[ddaly1]

all hail the red, white, & black

[d00derson]

i think the whites stripes have more of these "frankenstine" videos than any other band. great song by the way.

[iluvjackwhitemost]

how do u edit video clips on windows video maker adubon? I no this has nothing 2 do with tHIS BUT JUST ASKING! I LOVE THIS SONG! THX 4 THE VID!!!!!!!

[freakapolooza]

this song is from there CD life on the flipside good song

[tanzaib]

great stuff i got the hand drawn sleeve of this.

[megstubetops]

rouge de blanc,red and white

[jennfoster]

awesome how you synced it with reading 2002! well done!

[adubon]

Thanks I worked hard on editing it and I still notice alot of parts were it could've been synced better but it's cool.

Thank you again

[Kojaaack]

Fantastic song. That makes me have weird behaviours...is it normal?^^

Thanks to them for being so great.

[saodmv]

whys it high pitched?

[WonderLure42]

I tend to like the sound of this version over the one they recorded for the "Fell in love.." b-side.

[roniel2k7]

fake?

[adubon]

No. It's Rare. It's the second single the White Stripes released in 1998 or so.

[Lycana3]

Rare song!

But, it's one of my favorites. I didn't know Jack could sing in french :)

[adubon]

Yeah it's cool but for the most part he's singing the many french named streets of Detroit

[Lycana3]

i know :)

i read the lyrics when i was wondering what he was saying hahah!

I read the lyrics and i was like....why is he just saying names???

hahah

[skate801]

Yeah, he doesn't say anything coherent in French, except Belle Terre... and i think he means Belle Isle, which is a little island/park in Detroit. Most of those words are streets or places that I know of in Detroit.

[Th3Whit3Stripes]

amazing song! 5 stars

[michalkooz33]

super!!!!!!!!!

[ClickyBump]

Do you have the other version of this song that was released on the CD single of Fell in Love with a girl?

[adubon]

No, I wish. Sorry. If I did I'd put it up. Oh well. I'm still glad I found this one though.

[wsvlk]

OK, this is way random, but I absolutly love your username, ClickyBump!!!

[whitEstripEdElephant]

sweet song! :D actually never heard it :P

[wsvlk]

I love this song!!!!
