Late night earworm: Blue Orchid, by The White Stripes, from the forthcoming Get Behind Me Satan (requires Quicktime).
The above video features, in no particular order:
- Victorian decay and excess
- snakes
- a strung-out redhead wearing the highest heels you’ll ever see outside of a seedy strip club
- a horse
- a poison apple
- Jack and Meg White, acting more demented than usual
- a baby, who seems overjoyed at everything that’s going on
No, I don’t know what it’s about either, but it’s fun to watch, and I’ve been humming the tune all day long.
