Yes Graham does do his own covers to his albums / singles etc - however I designed and directed this video for Mr Coxon. The brief from Graham was 1950's artwork - and I love the comics of that era with the rough dot screen effect. The Girls dance was "borrowed" from one of the dancers from Apocalypse Now.
Seven Nation Army came out a year before this. AND YET, while I do get a strong White Stripes vibe from this, I would hardly call it a rip off. Jack White neither holds the rights to the combination of black, red and white, nor he did he create the art style (De Stijl) which I'm sure Graham is familiar with, as he IS an artist (he does all of his own album covers)
Lyrics: Saw you in my computer Never seen no one cuter Posing with a shooter You got me in a stupor You are something quite spectacular I'll give you all my dollar To have your hand tomorrow In my heart I holler I'm gonna have you follow You are something quite spectacular You are something quite spectacular Something quite spectacular (x4)
Song. Written after seeing the divine Shannon Sossamom in a mag. Moral of the story if your girl doesn't look as nice, buy her a fringed cowgirl outfit & pretend.
underrated album, and boy do I want more of Coxon's guitar playing!

Lyrics:
Saw you in my computer
Never seen no one cuter
Posing with a shooter
You got me in a stupor
You are something quite spectacular
I'll give you all my dollar
To have your hand tomorrow
In my heart I holler
I'm gonna have you follow
You are something quite spectacular
You are something quite spectacular
Something quite spectacular (x4)
The second solo actually blows my mind
Class song! Always like it.
The first 22 seconds reminds me the begining of Jubilee.

This video kinda reminds me of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes.
Así fue como me encanté con tus ojitos BB xD
¿Era necesario el tiritón de la muerte? XD
this video looks like 7 nation army of the white stripes to me but of coz the musics much better
Same Rickenbacker as Lennon no ?

Rather something quite QOTSA-esque.
RikoTakahashi I was just about to mention that this reminds me a lot of the Go With The Flow video
@msblurgirl if you check the dates when seven nation army and this song came out you'll notice that this song was released first.

Pink Flamingo Butt because its a rip off of the White Stripes.
