@glw2 You'll see zoom ins that hide the cuts. Usually they zoom in close on something with the camera and it cuts there and they just continue the shot from the zoomed in area afterwards
I used to love this song. First time I see this video, high-ish and can't tell how different it would be otherwise. It is very unusual and engaging... Watching it normally, it's still like a dream. The white stripes always had neat music videos.
This music video instrumentally (pun intended) informed such a deep part of my soul without me even realizing it back when I was watching this on the Fuse airwaves when I was 8-9 years old. Hat's off to Michael Gondry and Jack White for their genius creative collaboration here.
Seriously my absolute favorite music video at age 12. Eternally grateful to have grown up with the white stripes AND Conan o' Brien in my adolescence. Thanks world.
Lyrics: If you think that a kiss is all in the lips C'mon, you got it all wrong, man And if you think that our dance was all in the hips Oh well, then do the twist If you think holding hands is all in the fingers Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and Make sure to never do it with the fingers 'Cause I'll tell everyone in the world But he was thinking about the girl Ya, but he's thinking about the girl, oh A lot of people get confused and they bruise Real easy when it comes to love They start putting on their shoes and walking out And singing "boy, I think I had enough" Just because she makes you feel wrong She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy Take a tip and do yourself a little service Take a mountain turn it into a mole Just by playing a different role Ya, by playing a different role, oh The boat ya you know she's rockin' it And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it So what, somebody left you in a rut And wants to be the one who's in control But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder How the hell she can be so cold So now you're mad, denying the truth And it's getting in the wisdom in the back of your tooth Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em Where do you think she goes Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it You recognize with your back in the back? That it's colder when she rocks the boat But it's the cause hittin' on the Cardinal Laws? 'Bout the proper place to hang her coat So to you, the truth is still hidden And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but You should know that the dark is one kitten? She's been singing it all along But you were hearin' a different song Ya you were hearin' a different song But you were hearin' a different song
I have always loved this song and never seen the video literally until today for the last 10 years and I think it's really awesome that Conan did a guest spot
once they got in the car I was like "this has gotta be a Michel Gondry video", as if it wasn't obvious as soon as that giant monty python-esque foot came down.
I remember watching this when I was about 20 and being completely mesmerized yet saddened at the same time by the lyrics. I thought for sure I was going to off myself a couple of years later due to certain events occurring in my life but I didn't. I'm glad this somehow popped up 14 years later to remind myself of the experiences I got to have by not doing it.
😘💕 Shouting out a _huge,_ "Thank you" to Meg White, for _all_ of her efforts & talent! Personally, I don't think I could've done what she did for Jack & his career. Cause, you know, I can't play drums & I've never met the man. 😂😂😂
I have one of his necklaces that his ex gave me and it’s a bunch of different keys and just 1 key is shorter than the rest and every time I wear it l feel like Willy Wonka during the verruca salt scene 😂😂😂
I think people are just commenting on how simple all of the drumming she does is. But it's not like Ringo was coming up with mind-blowing beats either.
@@haywoodjblome4768 No, I'm saying you don't need to be Keith Moon to be able to play drums that sound good with the song. Beginner drummers can do Meg White songs and most of the Beatles catalogue, but that's not to say that those beats don't kick ass still, they're just not complicated. Neith Meg White nor Ringo Starkey are among the best of all time, but they fit their respective bands perfectly.
homeless people are wasting time begging for money when they could be volunteering in the community or creating businesses instead. let's change that with the Universal Basic Income. let's give everyone a guaranteed minimum income of $1,500ish USD/month. ttyte
@@tylerp3327 i was homeless before. so you want to fuck me? i make some of the best youtube videos and i make some of the best tweets. i see other videos and i'm like what? i see other tweets and i'm like what?
@@tylerp3327 what a waste of time begging for money on the street is. when you could be creating jobs instead. or even volunteering. or even anything else other than begging for money. there are more important things to do in life than to beg for money. yet, you want people to continue doing it(yea, some will beg for money with the UBI in place. but it will be way less people). we can have the $0/hour minimum wage with the UBI in place. don't you want $0/hour employees?! i want hundreds of them. ethically. we can have that with the UBI in place. i was homeless before. i might be homeless again. i'll beg for money when i'm homeless. unless the UBI is in place. if the UBI is in place. i can volunteer or create jobs instead of begging for money.
They actually met each other at a bowling alley in detriot when conan was shooting a video with a guy before any of them were famous and jack and meg just started the white stripes
just genius! the only one who can make a video like this, is Michel Gondry hes a genius one shot, lots of optical effects, an amizing tv studio, just amazing!!!!!
Without a doubt my favourite music video ever. Michel Gondry is always finding way to be creative no matter what he's working on (except The Green Hornet and most of Be Kind Rewind)
Bruce Robertson Dude, i don't get what your problem is. First off all, i was basically agreeing with your comment. Second, what do you care about my taste ? It doesn't matter. Also, it's not like everyone has to like the same shit.
I mean who doesn't stop to look at themselves in a Carnival mirror? the only difference is that when Jack saw his reflection he decided to script an entire music video around his appearance
I watched Conan all week they were on and on the last night I was really sick and fevered out and this came on when they came back from commercial and I pretty much assumed I was in another dimension.
It didn't get "taken away"... they just had their run. It was as much of a run as you can expect from most bands, they made a lot of records over a lot of years and now Jack White is still making amazing music which is cool because he was The White Stripes as far as composition goes so all the better with a bunch of good instrumentalists huehuehue
Meg White was suffering from severe anxiety which caused alot of canceled shows and projects and Jack couldnt take it anymore. He had to make the choice to lose one of his loves and he ended up choosing the music life. Its very sad but at least he was honest with himself and her.
wolfenstein 43 Anxiety ended the 2007 touring, but pretty positive it didn't end the band. Jack has spoken in interviews that that 2007 touring cycle started and Meg hadn't been on the road for a year while he had been. He was in go-go-go mode. She was in hermit mode. She got very little rehearsal time. For someone who already has anxiety, the rush and lack of preparation made it all worse. Meanwhile Jack was barrelling ahead.

I think what happened was Jack and Meg's relationship dynamics had changed. Whatever was special and had kept Meg onstage with Jack was gone. She saw no reason to fight against her natural introversion and ended the band.
Sounds like her introversion was a product of her anxiety, regardless I'm glad they were around for as long as they had been and created the music we still listen to today.
wolfenstein 43 She was introverted before the anxiety got out of control. People speculate she drank to overcome her shyness. I think his experience with The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and being in a true collaborative band with members who actually spoke and joked around made Jack very happy and going back to quiet Meg, well....the dynamic changed. They tried. They had started work on a 7th album. Whatever happened during those sessions proved to Meg that whatever they had shared as The White Stripes was over. Even if Jack didn't agree 100%. I'm glad we had them when we did as well.
Probably one of the most underrated White Stripes songs
Yes
I have seen this comment on songs that wasn't seven nation army or hardest button to button :/
tru dat
AAAAAAAHHHHgreed
Absolutely!!!
I love that this whole video is literally one shot. Love it.
There are invisible cuts
@Daido Exposure That aren't really so invisible when you know what's up lol
@@clockworkNatewdym? What is this ? How do they do this ?
@glw2 You'll see zoom ins that hide the cuts. Usually they zoom in close on something with the camera and it cuts there and they just continue the shot from the zoomed in area afterwards
It is not
The White Stripes and Michel Gondry are a match made in heaven.
I like seeing meg happy, having severe anxiety is awful, especially panic attacks. I hope shes better than before
Conan is officially the third White Stripe.
Third man huh.. that rings a bell
We're all Candy Cane Children, though.
So they’re adidas now?
He’s pale enough lol
@@frantungate4749 Jack is still the seventh son
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers, grab hold of the soul where memory lingers.

The lyrics are also in the video description
Absolutely phenomenal lyrics
this is their best album. will always be one of my all time favs.
why is this the first time watching this? I love Conan and the White Stripes.
Me too. And it’s my first time watching in 2020
White stripes played Conan for a week straight

lisa love your gorgeous
Bwhen is this video from?
@@gustavouchida1 2006 I believe
I agree 200%
why i feel so calm and relaxed after watching this video?
Áedh Cian M. O'Sullivan ...because Meg White pouring tea with her beatific grin is the soothing balm we never knew we needed.
it gives me the cozy feel i got watching conan on tv at 1:30am drifting off to bed… 😌
this has to be the coolest video ever.
This whole video is the definition of don’t let them know your next move
Lyrics:
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the fingers
'Cause I'll tell everyone in the world
But he was thinking about the girl
Ya, but he's thinking about the girl, oh
A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing "boy, I think I had enough"
Just because she makes you feel wrong
She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Ya, by playing a different role, oh
The boat ya you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she can be so cold
So now you're mad, denying the truth
And it's getting in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth
While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em
Where do you think she goes
Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize with your back in the back?
That it's colder when she rocks the boat
But it's the cause hittin' on the Cardinal Laws?
'Bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the dark is one kitten?
She's been singing it all along
But you were hearin' a different song
Ya you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song
Pure poetry
Isn't the
You should know that the dark is one kitten?
line supposed to be:
The doctors weren't kidding?
Good advice for anyone interested in loving another
You can hear Jacks raps roots in this song the best. The dude can flow. I love this man!!!!🎉🎉😂❤
Why does UA-cam suggest me this masterpiece 11 years later?!?! So magnificent song, but the video... The video is completely brilliant.
the songwriting is so good on this one
I have always loved this song and never seen the video literally until today for the last 10 years and I think it's really awesome that Conan did a guest spot
once they got in the car I was like "this has gotta be a Michel Gondry video", as if it wasn't obvious as soon as that giant monty python-esque foot came down.
i just start to listen to this band... I'm in love
I have never seen that video before. That was so cool!
Takes me back

2:14 was genius
+BuSHWiCK BeeRoN . . . . yeah. then came the hunchback at 2:18. wowzers!
Except the foot was supposed to stay in the frame.
The White Stripes are back and I can't believe this talk show reminds me like Conan O Brien from Nbc in years now.
My boy Jack with that smooth flow 🙌
Completely forgot how good this video is!
Whoah, groovy!
Michel Gondry, the music video king!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!
I felt like the entire video was powered by great music and light acid
Meg is adorable.
I miss them
They put me in a happy zone.
Love this video, definitely one of Gondry's best! Never noticed Michel Gondry's face sneaking in at 1:23 before...or at least it looks like him!
This is one of my all time favorite music videos
Watch Michel Gondry's other music videos. He's so creative
Proof positive. Jack white is willy wonka.
Roald Dahl Willie Wonka, black white white black
I have one of his necklaces that his ex gave me and it’s a bunch of different keys and just 1 key is shorter than the rest and every time I wear it l feel like Willy Wonka during the verruca salt scene 😂😂😂
you must mean Johnny Depp
Lol
Great tune!
I miss the good old days... this was music!
most people say Meg White can't drum
try tuning your drums like her
she's amazing
like Jack White
amazing band
John Bonham there's a huge middle ground between amazing and shit and i feel like she falls somewhere in there
John Bonham I don’t think she’s bad, she’s passable, I think her sound and what she did behind the scenes was a lot more important than her talent.
I think people are just commenting on how simple all of the drumming she does is. But it's not like Ringo was coming up with mind-blowing beats either.
@@mister_mozzarella Are you really comparing Meg white to Ringo??

conan, thanks for being in our video
I thought something was wrong with my phone.😅love the white stripes,their videos were always amazingly well done. 📼📺
My 9th favourite The White Stripes song
aaahhhhhhh Michel Gondry!!!
This was one twisted video :)
Crazy !
Conan and him must be pretty good friends
Yeah they are
They own a record label together.
They co-own a minor-league baseball team. They're very close friends, from what I've heard.
They actually met each other at a bowling alley in detriot when conan was shooting a video with a guy before any of them were famous and jack and meg just started the white stripes
stgm No they don't?
ONE OF 10 BEST BANDS OF ALL TIMES, NO MORE.
just genius!
the only one who can make a video like this, is Michel Gondry hes a genius
one shot, lots of optical effects, an amizing tv studio, just amazing!!!!!
I love this song it rocks❤😂
God I love bands like this... And the fans... comments like "I want meg to tell me its going to be alright" gotta love it.
Jonathan, I agree!!!!
Love this vid
Meg White 😍
Conan: I just feel so depressed now
Conan in the background TV: ThATs REalLY GReaT
Without a doubt my favourite music video ever. Michel Gondry is always finding way to be creative no matter what he's working on (except The Green Hornet and most of Be Kind Rewind)
Michel Gondry man, everything he does is like a drug enduced fever dream in a funhouse hall of mirrors.
I feel as though I really took this band for granite when they were still present. Every aspect was so well cultivated. They are/were legendary.
You took the band for granite. Heavy stuff.
More of a schist if you ask me.
This was at the height of both Conan and The White Stripes. Good times, Good times.
Dig the video.
Who says you can't control pre-recorded shows on TV? Meg White did it with her foot.
Justin Atwood
Still one of my favorite music videos
Jack White, the dude who can carry a cane and look fucking cool with it.
+Bruce Robertson
Jack White always looks fucking cool

Ok, got it. You should know it when you see one.
💞🎸🎶 Gotta Love Jack and Meg!!
Beautiful music White Stripes!!
I love this video, and the White Stripes are definetly my favourite band ever!
nobody other than conan can play this role. it just wouldnt be right
Thanks for letting us hang around 🫒☮️🫒✝️
No - thank you 🫒
This makes me feel high
i luv this song
Damn right.
Gondry rules
See this is art. THIS is a video.
another nice Michel Goudry goodness psychedelic video. love it!
I remember watching this video CONSTANTLY when I was little. I finally found it!
In my top 5 of all time
Genius!
I love Conan so fucking much.
Can we just talk about how pretty Meg looks here?
+AaronLikesSpaghetti . . . . . . yeah- that hunchback at 2:18 is the prettiest. hahaha
+makefunnytimeyes true, true, she still looks hot in this video tho, cmon.
It's because she's actually smiling and looking like she's having fun.
Is that really all you collected from this video
It's not that she's hot, but it's that she looks like she's having a good time in this video. That's what makes her so attractive.
Still love it😀
My head is spinning... I feel like i'm going to fall out my chair! BUT I LOVE IT
Sublime
gondry rocks.
I always love coming back to this music video.
I mean who doesn't stop to look at themselves in a Carnival mirror? the only difference is that when Jack saw his reflection he decided to script an entire music video around his appearance
I watched Conan all week they were on and on the last night I was really sick and fevered out and this came on when they came back from commercial and I pretty much assumed I was in another dimension.
I love Michel Gondry
steer clear the television skies!
Michel Gondry ce génie !
The denial twist :8/10
The denial twist with conan :10/10
Woooooo Conan!!!
the white TRIP!!!
a pure music genious
I love it So much
God why did this band get taken away from us? :(
It didn't get "taken away"... they just had their run. It was as much of a run as you can expect from most bands, they made a lot of records over a lot of years and now Jack White is still making amazing music which is cool because he was The White Stripes as far as composition goes so all the better with a bunch of good instrumentalists huehuehue
Meg White was suffering from severe anxiety which caused alot of canceled shows and projects and Jack couldnt take it anymore. He had to make the choice to lose one of his loves and he ended up choosing the music life. Its very sad but at least he was honest with himself and her.
wolfenstein 43 Anxiety ended the 2007 touring, but pretty positive it didn't end the band. Jack has spoken in interviews that that 2007 touring cycle started and Meg hadn't been on the road for a year while he had been. He was in go-go-go mode. She was in hermit mode. She got very little rehearsal time. For someone who already has anxiety, the rush and lack of preparation made it all worse. Meanwhile Jack was barrelling ahead.
In 2011, anxiety was not cited as a reason in the official statement. Way before the split, Jack was quoted as saying he thinks her anxiety has resolved.
I think what happened was Jack and Meg's relationship dynamics had changed. Whatever was special and had kept Meg onstage with Jack was gone. She saw no reason to fight against her natural introversion and ended the band.
Sounds like her introversion was a product of her anxiety, regardless I'm glad they were around for as long as they had been and created the music we still listen to today.
wolfenstein 43 She was introverted before the anxiety got out of control. People speculate she drank to overcome her shyness.
I think his experience with The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and being in a true collaborative band with members who actually spoke and joked around made Jack very happy and going back to quiet Meg, well....the dynamic changed.
