a ball and a biscuit, according to Jack, was referring to the microphones used in the studio they wrote and recorded the song in. This song to me, seems like a love song from Jack to Meg. For he always understood the role she played in his life and music. And this song is a joyous romp through the ecstasy of having her as his band mate (and friend, lover... etc.)
A great choice for a first reaction on The White Stripes. Jack and Meg White formed the band in the late 90s out of Detroit. They had great success in the 2000s. Jack now makes his home in Nashville and has a record label, I think it's called 3rd Man Records. I hope I'm right about that, I should looked it up. He also formed the group The Dead Weather.
Yes it's called 3rd man records. One of the few old school record pressing shops left. They still do the original lathe to cut the master and then press them. Adam Savage from Mythbusters did a video about them and there all analog recording stage
If anyone is interested, Jack White (real name John Gillis) met Meg (Megan) White in the early 90's in Detroit and started dating. Then one day Meg picked up drumming on a whim. They formed a band and in thinking of a band name and motiff, they went with the "White Stipes" like the candy, and John legally changed his name to Jack White. They put out a couple records, then the love died and they got divorced in 2000 before they put out the album that made them famous. They didn't like their background story and thought the media would rip at them when they got big, so they pretended to be brother and sister because they thought that would be less intrusive. It worked out well and to this day most of their (passive) fans still think they are brother and sister. Per this song, the line about the 7th son relates to the fact that Jack is the 7th son amongst his 9 siblings. It's also an old superstition that the 7th son in a family could have various powers including the ability to tell fortunes. So when the lyrics go "It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl, but it's a fact that I'm the seventh son" it's a pronouncement that he's not first in line, but he's special and he see the future of them being together.
:Seven Nation Army" is the song you've almost guaranteed to have heard, it's a great song, it even became a stadium chant at sporting events.... Speaking of stadium chants the Preds beat the Leafs last night, so just imagine my face being very unenthusiastic with a hint of annoyance as I type this...LOL
Sorry about your Leafs, but you gave Grandpa Ricky a little laugh with your comment. Neither one of us recognize the name of the song you suggested, so we are adding it to our list. Thanks!
Incorrect. They were married, Jack took her last name, and they divorced while the band was still together. The brother/sister thing was just to confuse the media.

Thank you for watching and sharing this information.
The chorus and title is making a direct reference to having sex under the influence of ecstacy.
@@markrigg6623 Yikes! TMI - LOL
If you like blues guitar, in this song Jack White shows why he is a King!
I'm a big fan of this style of music. And I appreciate you guys listening to a studio version and just letting it play.

Given what the song is about I find it hilarious to watch senior citizens react to it.

Odd, why?

It’s the name of the mic he was using in that studio
Thanks for the info!
Any thing Jack White related is 👍

Detroit.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Not the best live version . His guitar is a piece of cheap crap i think and it goes out of tune but he likes the fight of it. Thats his ex wife
Thanks for watching and sharing this info.
They are brother and sister. Not her wife
