Music video

The video, directed by Alex and Martin, consists of one seemingly continuous shot through a tunnel of mirrored black, white and red triangles, each containing a picture of either Jack or Meg playing. Brendan Benson (born November 14, 1970) is a Michigan born Musician and Songwriter. " The Gypsy Laddie " ( Roud 1 Child 200) also known as " Black Jack Davy " and " The Raggle Taggle Gypsies " among Alex & Martin is a music video directing duo consisting of Alexandre Courtes and Martin Fougerol. Jack White (born John Anthony Gillis on July 9 1975 is an American musician Record producer, and occasional actor best known as the guitarist and lead vocalist Megan Martha White (born December 10, 1974 in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan) is best known as the Drummer and Backing vocalist During the video, when the song begins to intensify, lights flash. Images of walking skeleton soldiers also appear regularly. An elephant (referring to the name of their album) appears once near the end. Elephants ( family: Elephantidae) are large land Mammals of the order Proboscidea. Elephant is the fourth album by American Alternative rock band The White Stripes. As the pace of the song speeds up, the speed that one "passes" through the tunnel speeds up, and as it slows, the speed through the tunnel slows. Jack's head also seems to set on fire in one triangle.
