The White Stripes - 'Jolene'

[stokewhitenproud]

God created pussy, then good music, then the world was complete

[craxxtor]

geilstes cover von diesem Lied das es gibt :) und das von Lakeien ist auch schon gut^^ :D

[manhattenhero]

I heard George Harrison say: the Beatles used to go and see Blackpool lights. What is that?

Different place all together? I'm in the right place at the wrong time? That's how I feel everyday!

[IncrediguyPro]

In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, God created Jack White, and there came The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. Finally, the world is complete.

[trevor8930]

jack white is one of the few modern musician that i like

[TheJoelism]

Stunning, amazing and pure awesomeness. A masterpiece remasterpieced, what more can u say.

[yokehuatgoh]

rock version!! .. lol

[seven2eight2]

Norah Jones started a country band called Little Willies and does a cover of this song... I love her music but NO ONE DOES JOLENE LIKE JACK.

[Smoolock]

You know, there is also this slight possibility that he just liked a classic song and covered it. Covered it without being a complete Tool and Changing the lyrics maybe?

[fmgpertongodll]

jolene :L

[JoLeZkNoWz]

@MeganDeVasure and ur fucking ugly u talk funny and ur 2 front teeth r brown... Go have a bath brush ur teeth and put a bag over ur head plz. Thank you and goodnight.

[TaketteLoL]

When i hear this song, I always think to the girl i love. I know the song doesn't call about relationship between two people but when i listen to these words :

Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rains

I don't know why but i always start crying because that makes me think again in which point I love her. Unfortunally, she doesn't. But i continue to hope

[elhippi24]

@TaketteLoL damn bro go cut yourself haha

[romaggot]

@TaketteLoL dont wait too long, cause you'll miss alot of nice girls along the way

[dawsonfreaky]

Most beautiful thing to ever grace this planet.

[JacobPLeadingham01]

I wish it was longer. Then all of my hopes and reams would be true.

[grometmate]

you can tell meg is a very shy person. she faces her kit towards jack

[helena24680]

Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics..?..

[Mytenflys]

@helena24680 Are you serious?

[Rebecca14Moo]

@helena24680 DOLLY FUCKING PARTON omg

[KikeRio]

@helena24680 google is your friend

[dombaglivo]

@helena24680 The Flying Spaghetti Monster did.

[classicrock4ev3r]

love how raw this sounds live

[shane4243111]

i need those pants :D



[SourToiletSeat]

What the fuck happened to just ignoring dumb asses?

[RockPunkFloyd]

Why all the arguing about whether or not he is gay, he's a GREAT musician, isn't that all that matters?

[o0z1sh]

I'm a redhead and Jack White makes me feel beautiful.

[Hogkeetah]

He makes it sound like he's losing his best friend to a woman, instead of the Dolly Parton version- Good play on words!

[MetalJames1282]

must admit, the first time I heard this, I was taken aback by Jack singin them lyrics. then I realized he's staying true to the original. his passion for the tune is undeniable. either way, the White Stripes = musical genius...

[sfbayareagirl]

love this version. Jack White brilliant. I absolutely hate when the entire audience sings in.... make it stop!

[supervibe1]

Only strips can rock out Dolly

[MegaKelley101]

I HATE THIS VIDEO.

dolly parton does this song way better.

and dolly is a women singing about a women takeing her man. This group is men talking about a women takeing their man.

They are GAY

[Xdiegop]

@MegaKelley101 SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!

JACK WHITE ISNT GAY, HE IS MARRIED WITH KAREN ELSON AND BEFORE WITH MEG WHITE!!!!

[MegaKelley101]

@Xdiegop Well he should not be talking about a women trying to take his man.

And curseing will not get you no where in life

[Xdiegop]

@MegaKelley101 And Talking Shits About Him Will Not get You No Where In Your Life

So?

[KapteinHenk]

@Xdiegop now that's a real guardian angel

[Xdiegop]

@KapteinHenk I Dont Give A Fuck What Youre Saying!!!!

Jack White Isnt Gay

Thats All The Thing!!

[KapteinHenk]

@Xdiegop By that I was suggesting that maybe you have something better to do than protect the reputation of a guy you've never met - luckily you strongly confirmed that with a "no I do not" in your last post so thank you for clarity

[Xdiegop]

@KapteinHenk And Again Talking Shits About A Guy That You' Ve Never Met Is A Good Time To Use Your Time?

[KapteinHenk]

@Xdiegop also I heard this rumor Jack White is gay, did you hear about it?

[Xdiegop]

@KapteinHenk No, Beacuse He Is Married With A Model Called Karen Elson

[nvanarnhem]

@Xdiegop Maybe, just maybe, stop using capital letters on every word?

[Xdiegop]

@nvanarnhem No, But Maybe You Stop Writing Lies?

[nvanarnhem]

@Xdiegop What lies, mouthbreather?

[Xdiegop]

@nvanarnhem Give Me The Evidences That He Is Gay Beacuse He Isnt Gay

[Xdiegop]

@nvanarnhem And If He Is Gay That He Isnt

Whats Your Problem With Jack?

[nvanarnhem]

@Xdiegop I am not talking about Jack. I am talking about you typing like a mongloid. Bye.

[Xdiegop]

@nvanarnhem my writing isnt your problem and it isnt a problem and I just say jack white isnt gay

[NiteHuntress49]

@Xdiegop Umm Jack and Karen are divorced.

[Xdiegop]

@KapteinHenk And Maybe His Talking About Jolene Has Take His Man As Talking That She Take His Heart

[KapteinHenk]

@Xdiegop very philosophical

[sophie92831]

@MegaKelley101 Fair enough if you like the Dolly version better- I definitely prefer this one, I think it's incredibly passionate, but kudos to her for writing an amazing song!

My issue with your comment is that you appear to be hating on the song because Jack White is singing 'about a women [sic] takeing [sic] (his) man'... Homophobic much? The gender of the object of the song and the gender of the singer are both irrelevant to the beauty and passion of the music. Peace x

[ImStereotype]

@MegaKelley101 Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

[markw999]

Dolly is the bomb. WAY underrated songwriter.

[carsonLILL]

I don't understand how you compare this version to dolly's because it's basically a different song entirely so it's like comparing jay-z to john mayer cause it's two completely different things.

[AvrilAlbanianFan]

epic song is epic (Y)

[aniagniech]

..dla Beatki i dla mnie------petarda;)!!!!!!!

[happyhamsterharibos]

This has just stolen my heart.

[cardinal0870]

im not the hugest white stripes fan but the passion and feel he puts in these vocals are nothing short of mesmerizing

[Bbarbiexox]

Okay Jack is giving Dolly a run for her money on this. I feel it with him.

[mciverSC]

my cheap ass speakers don't turn up loud enough

[niceflamebrah]

what does it say on his arm?

[craiclord]

I think this is my favourite cover song of all time...

[stickstanstone]

@craiclord you're in the right place right time... congrats !!!

[martyska555]

indescribable performance:) I prefer this version, has more emotions!!

[mielazul]

Oh wait, that was then next DVD. Ha, sorry, I've been drinking!

[mielazul]

This DVD was pretty cool...he's touring the northern territories of canada and meeting with inuit elders, playing for them. That must take some courage. Anyway...good raw blues is still alive. Check "Rosetta West - Underground."

[luke8003]

Who love white stripes Vote here!

[HarryWildlife]

einfach Klasse-und so schräg!

[OnlyTheWeakNeedHelp]

[NWEkakashi]

[Misfitspunk1023]

@pointtheblame they were husband and wife but then got divorced so they started calling each other brother and sister.

[pointtheblame]

so they are like brother and sister or ? bff ? or what ?

[gsr20010]

@pointtheblame they were married for quite a while but got divorced, listen to the song Shake My Hand you can catch some refrences to Meg in the lyrics

[lavyheed]

@pointtheblame c'mon man....thats old hat m8 lol

[pointtheblame]

@lavyheed lolz im not a fan of the stripes i used to snowboard on dolly's song and i just got curious :D old or not ..

[lavyheed]

@pointtheblame they used to be married....the brother and sister thing was a piss take lol

[SnakeDoctor33]

@lavyheed yeah,and Jack changed his last name from Gillis to white.

[Iwantamansonguitar]

@pointtheblame Nope, ex husband and wife

[LoisKl]

oh come on...its like he is getting spanked. dolly's version has a certain dignity.i mean, she is desperate out of her love and begging, but she is not crying her lungs out like this guy. this here is ridiculous.

[bunnyrocks69]

love jack white hes a hottie but i hate to say it --cant stand her drumming

[VALETTA515]

Ravenous. I crave more.

[rambonjambo]

[CHONDRO1SWISS]

41 Jolene's do not like this song



[cincyredsgirl]

I love Jack White

[damusicjunkie96]

jack white is the only man on earth who can sing this and sound both straight and angelic.

[lesleypaul59]

...this guy got it ! best version of this song !!! i am old !!! ...not died young..., LES

[espjoh8]

you must be TOTALLY retarded if you press the dislike button on this! ... or you can save yourself with saying your eyes were too wet to see the thumb up button ;)! AMAZING!

[kilcommie]

He sounds like Mitch Hedberg. RIP Mitch :(

[Vladimoskov]

@kilcommie

Bears are scary

[crazyweirdstrange]

just shed a manly tear

[LadyErato]

Oh my God! This gives me goose bumps!!!

[MackieDavid]

they need to get back together

[glamboypasspass]

Just saw Glee perform this song. Even though I love Glee I think they did a horrible job on this song. Only Jack can sing it the best.

[airnbobo]

@glamboypasspass I prefer this version as well but I think that Coach Beaste did a decent job.

[AtlantaBarb]

@glamboypasspass ur wong, Dolly sings its the best

[XxJustGoForItxX]

Powerful.  Life-saving<3

[ThisGuitarPlayerGuy]

So yeah, I kinda cry when I hear this. Everytime. But not bawling, just a tear. One single tear.

[exoticcars1]

Awesome!!!! Words do not even comprehend what effect this song has on me

[Ulewadam]

He's the only man I need in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[lazypink603]

i love him so much♥♥♥

[sunshine57788]

♥♥♥

[xOnlyCommentingx]

wow ...

i'm shocked

[20Dave10]

Dolly said do you want an alternative version which will be loved a little bit more than my original, and she sent me to this video ;)

[dickmove100]

fucking great



[deedee553]

Really powerful performance. Amazing!

[Palalia1969]

¡A huevo!

[SurESuRe159]

he s got talent at playing guitar and singing while he is totally fucking hammered

[LithicStudios]

i love that you started with Jack talking about Blackpool lights. So awesome :D

[Flatzout7]

Meg playing those drums = fucking hot

[KawaiixKiller]

@melissarain16 thanks babeeee,

[xxblackonyxlovexx]

He puts true meaning into this song <3 Fuck I love him!

[RocksRevenge]

Dolly Pardon got her assed kicked on her own song by a man!

Jack White's version is better because you can feel his pain.

[anrigogitauri]

jack white genius

[KawaiixKiller]

Ew. He can't sing.

[DvDSWE88]

@KawaiixKiller can you?

[KawaiixKiller]

@DvDSWE88 not particulary,

[EmmaRose473]

Who in the f*ck can 'dislike' this?!...Pure perfection!

[Dustr232]

i love meg

[Dustr232]

i love meg

[mrwhippedcreamisgood]

I loved these guys untill i fell in a much deeper love with queens of the stone age

[thatguysound]

It's a plea, but not a direct one. I always assumed the song was about a woman struggling with her own vulnerability, her own insecurity. When you love someone as much as the singer loves "her man", you feel a little helpless. You can't choose to turn it on or off, you can't control it - it just takes over your whole being. I never thought that she was literally talking to Jolene. It's a silent prayer in her own head. Just my own take. Amazing song, and amazing cover, regardless.

[arienh4]

@thatguysound "Jolene" tells the tale of a housewife confronting a voluptuous seductress who she believes is trying to steal away her husband. Parton has said that the inspiration for the story was bank teller who Parton believed was flirting with her husband, and her husband's vulnerability to the teller's charm as indicated by his sudden interest in making frequent trips to the bank. In her live performances of the song, Dolly often states she fought this woman tooth and nail for her husband.

[fells1999]

@thatguysound faggot

[jakedizzle]

@thatguysound That's pretty much the intention of the song. Not just your take on it.

[razdemareemusic]

@thatguysound thats a great assesment. i cover this song with my drummer cause thats the same feeling i got from it. thats me in the blue shirt in the video response box. i really love this song



[Toulis91]

@thatguysound dude the singer is male not female...

[benjo13572]

@Toulis91 dude, the song was written by dolly parton

[Toulis91]

@benjo13572 that i didn't know... my mistake sorry :)

[TheChristopherjordan]

38 people listen to rap.

[CapteinBlad]

I want 0:41 0:41 0:41 0:41 0:41 0:41 0:41 comment BACK!

[fiumant]

He is not the only man who sings, and plays guitar great at the same time. Joshua Homme?

[EmmaNasty863]

Good Lord Jack is fucking sexy!

[Dejinero]

I'm a drummer anyone an insane guitarist/singer...jack white i'm looking at you buddy

[Pigroota]

Sounds like the woman who wrote this was a real selfish bitch.

[blinkyourdead1]

@Pigroota Her name is Dolly Parton.

[MrHorrorfilmfanatic]

@Pigroota you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself dude...

[Pigroota]

@MrHorrorfilmfanatic You need to suck on a massive cock before your street talk makes you look even dumber

[MrHorrorfilmfanatic]

@Pigroota why are you coming on this video talking shit about one of the greatest songwriters ever dolly parton? and you're cool telling me to suck a cock... the same shit every that every immature 12yr old kid on youtube says

[orangegreendaysuite]

@Pigroota I don't understand, wouldn't you feel angry if someone took away the one you love from you? Idk, this is just me but I think the Jolene in the song is the real bitch here, haha.

On another note, I love this cover. ARGH I could listen to it all day.

[Pigroota]

@orangegreendaysuite sure I would, but this song isn't an angry song, it is a plea. Nonetheless I think my comment was a bit harsh. But still, if your hubby doesn't want you any more and is in love(or infatuated) with another then it would be selfish and vacuous to continue a lie

[orangegreendaysuite]

@Pigroota Angry was the wrong word, haha. I'm old fashioned in that once you're married you should only have eyes for each other, but I understand your point.

[eveningniteshade]

Dolly sent me here!

[kimmel92]

I've just broke up with my girlfriend after 5 years... This song is more than beautiful for me.

[PhantomsWrath]

this is f~~king awesome

[russXhunter]

Dear god, the song is awesome now

[CupofPhenol]

[luizajimenez17]

this is epic

[Sensor1010]

Just heaven on earth...let passion rule

[steveyrocks11]

am i the only person that thinks his voice is awful ??

[unpredictable920]

@steveyrocks11 This is a very difficult song to sing, but i think he did it really well.

[steveyrocks11]

@unpredictable920 i thought it was ok but his type of song style isnt really mine if you get what im sayin

[themadbassplayer13]

@steveyrocks11 are you a nazi???? its jack white everything about him is awesome

[hoobitman]

@steveyrocks11 yes, you're the only person who thinks that. there is probably a reason for it too.

[surfsimpa]

@steveyrocks11

No, only you and 32 other Bieberfans.

[steveyrocks11]

@surfsimpa fyi i hate justin bieber and i was only giving my opinion on what i thought
