Jack Johnson has a GREAT voice, and I think this is an awesome cover. It definitely gives the song a different feel. Jack White's is obviously better, because it IS his song, it was the first version I heard, therefore how my mind expects to hear it every time, lol.
It doesn't matter who sang it. Yes, the White Stripes sang it first, but he sang it again to make it appeal to the creators of the Curious George movie. It is still a great song, no matter who sang it, so let's not complain about this.
"The chords are slightly different. That's why many say it's not really a cover by Johnson."
Just cause maybe one chord is played slightly different still makes it a cover. It's the white stripes originally. And this version isn't half the original.
I thought Johnson had done it first as well- but I did some research and BOOM-- It was originally released as a single from a promotional video for the White Stripes. Johnson's cover is not so good, I think.
I love Duluth, lived there all my life. :)

Personally I think Jack Johnson's voice gives it more of a sweet/cute image, but I still love the White Stripes (:
