Icky Thump

Icky thump
Who'da thunk?
Sittin' drunk
On a wagon to Mexico

Ahh well, what a chump
Well my head
Got a bump
When I hit it on the radio

Red-head señorita
Lookin' dead
Came to said,
"Need a bed" en español

I said
"Gimme a drink a water,
I'm gonna 'sing around the collar'
And I don't need a microphone."


Icky thump,
With a lump in my throat
Grabbed my coat
And I was freaking
I was ready to go!

And I swear
Besides the hair
She had one white eye
One blank stare
Looking up,
Lying there

On the stand
Near her hand
Was a candy cane
Black rum, sugar cane
Dry ice and something strange

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

White Americans, what?
Nothing better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too.

Who's using who?
What should we do?
Well you can't be a pimp
And a prostitute too

Icky thump, handcuffed to a bunk
Robbed blind
Looked around
And there was nobody else

Left alone
I hit myself with a stone
Went home
And learned how to clean up after myself

I never like those 5 videos being my top ones. But anyways, here is a list of top videos from people that are no longer active (or as active as before) and are great videosifters

Icky Thump....from "The Goodies" episode with the black puddings.....yer right about the Stripes, it's the combination of many things, the relationship of the two, the great songwriting, and the simple, addictive melodies....always been a formula that appeals....plus, live performance makes a band, and they are dedicated to those shows.....!!!

I adore this band. Definitely my all-time favorite.

I went to see them live last week. This video doesn't do the band justice (I think that way about a lot of outdoor performances, the crowd isn't nearly as into it when it's not in a small sweaty building). The energy was absolutely intense at the show I went to, and I haven't had that much fun in a long, long time.

Oh, and also, their new album "Icky Thump" is fantastic. Anyone (even people who aren't big WS fans) who like rock should give that album a try. Great stuff.

Icky Thump don't work.

This one should: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXpQ6yP1gBI
