I like the White Stripes version and I like this version also.  Takes some of the bombast out of the original and puts some funk in it's place.  Good twist all the way around.

I've been on Jack White burnout for the last year or two, but this is reminder of what great music he's written.  Very nice cover.

Weird. For some strange reason, this tune was in my head this AM. Just turned RP on and this is the 2nd tune!

I'm off to do the lottery and put a bet on a nag!

since i could give a rat's ass about  the White Stripes, as in "who?", i like this tune.  kind of makes you bob up and down in the chair.  while not quite chair dancing per se, it is kind of like the bottom of a pot full of water where the bubbles start forming but don't actually break away and boil.  kind of like nucleate chair dancing.

I like folks trying to add their own take on a nice tune, but this... this just sucks.  It's also a bummer that this is in fairly heavy rotation: I could prob'ly handle once per decade or so, but now it's being played about once every two weeks, which is roughly a factor of 1,000 too often.

The whole EP is odd covers.

I BEG that never gets played on RP again. It's like they took a good song and sucked all the good out of it. That "artist" should be electrocuted.

I really don't know what to make of this cover. Initial reaction is shock and horror. But then, it's a really good song to begin with ...

OK RP...looks like I will have to turn on my White Stripes now...this is a great song lyrically and I usually listen to WS - VERY loud while I exercise.  This version is a "sing along"

I like it. Very different flavour of the song - less marching, more funky.

Agreed!  This still gets a 7, but the Stripes version would get a solid 9, if not 10!

Even better cover of this song was performed on The Voice last week: http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/behind-the-voice-jamar-rogers/17wharivh?cpkey=b053a436-03d1-4e75-accf-3dd69965d19c|||| (hope the link works for Americans, it doesn't work in Canada)

Ben has better than this but this is still pretty cool.

If you like Sharon Jones, you'll like this CD. His EP of covers is great!

Never thought I would write this but this cover and Alice Russell's are as good as the original. I'm not a big fan of covers (Wyclef doing "Wish You Were Here", anyone?) but this is a superb effort without taking the edge from the original. Good on Ben and Alice.

It's not the the song, it's the soul. Love the muted horns played by real human beings, and Ben's expression of exactly what he is feeling: vocalization of his soul. Play it like it is, man. I'm right there with ya!
