Who knew Icky Thump would turn out to be the White Stripes' world cultures album. There's the Anglophilic pearly kings and queen cover, the every-province-in-Canada touring, and the emerging Hispanic element: a south of the border romp for the "Icky Thump" clip, and in this here Diane Martel-directed vid, Jack and Meg in their toreador tailored suits, fighting bulls while covering Corky Robbins's "Conquest."

All goes well for dashing Jack, until Bull starts pulling the puppy dog eyes act ala Puss In Boots. Who was voiced by Antonio Banderas, who was imitated by Chris Kattan who opened the How Do You Say, Ah Yes. Show.sketch with Spanish guitar strums not far removed from "Conquest." Further, Chris Kattan starred in A Night At The Roxbury with Will Ferrell, who was in Talledaga Nights with Mos Def, who was in The Woodsman with, yep, Kevin Bacon.
Icky Thump is out via Third Man/Warner.
