Re: Single: Icky Thump
I bought one recently for $250. But not sure that determines a market value. Might have been a deal for me.candycaneboy03 wrote:figured it'd be best to ask here than start a new thread, unless if someone else goes ahead and does so..

Icky Thump
Iiiiiiiieeeeeee
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.
Redhead señorita
Looking dead
Came and 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 black (nk) stare
Lookin' up
Lyin' 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.

Re: Single: Icky Thump
They actually played this song while the audience was waiting for the band (Kaizers Orchestra - highly recommended Norwegian band) yesterday. It wasn't as great as the concert, but sure got me singing every line, as one of a few among the thousands in the audience

Just yesterday I heard a sound-alike of this song on a ten pin bowling commercial. Authorised? Probably not. But more fitting than an air force commercial.

Picture of the B-Side of the 12" single in case anyone else is interested in seeing what it looks like. Had to go searching to find one.

^^ That's purty. The last couple lines of this song are some of my favorites from Jack. Words to live by.
"And the message is clear: if we want Jack White as our hero, he will entertain, but not pander. We have to accept all his flaws, whims, caprices and manias as a critical, sometimes uncomfortable, part of the contract."

Don't believe the 60's was the golden age of pop. You glorify the past when the future dries up.

Wise, kudos.Kali Durga wrote:Exactly.
I always took this song to be about hooking up with a low end prostitute while drunk and getting mugged. The Immigration stuff is just a smokescreen.

Either way, that line is apropos.
