Lyrics:
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try to keep the truth from showing up
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
You're given a flower
But I guess that there's just no pleasing you
Your lip tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

[@OdysseusLightning]

Been listening to this band since 1870. They never get old.

[@mmedlen1]

Since 04 but I’d love to hear the rsmconteurs 🥸🤠👀😄

[@jimjams8688]

Ah yes 1870

[@jessharriman3254]

Vampirism

[@briandelgado4985]

Saw them open up for Beethoven on the "playing the plaque" tour what a sick show!! 😫 😆 🤣

[@pleasure_deelayer_not7768]

😂🤣🤘🏽💯

[@racingmonkey199]

This guy has Some of the best guitar riffs ever

[@pancon5]

He really does.

[@johnbelcher6282]

Swiftt I literally just liked it because of your profile picture it's so cute

[@DavidsRandomPlanet]

Swiftt true

[@landendoesyoutube1543]

Definitely

[@GaryGoat350]

I wish I could cover them but they’re so hard to learn

[@victorymansions]

Meg is easily one of my favourite musicians. There is something tribal to a simplistic big beat. I'm a guitarist but Meg's drumming style really speaks to me on a fundamental level.

[@NIC0LAS1251]

Yeah, people say she’s a horrible drummer just because of how simple some of her beats are, but simple doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s about how effective it is entirely to the song.

[@AaronBellante]

I don't mind the simplistic beats, but I wish she would use the cymbals a lot less. They smother everything at times.

[@the_animalwhisperer2297]

Shut up Meg heheheheheheh

[@eddysandland58]

It's similar to Mo Tucker from The Velvets!

[@ojberrettaberretta5314]

yes also shes hot but ye her playin is minimalistic but good very memorable

[@nocturnGER]

The White Stripes always have the most weird and creative music videos, always a pleasure watch them

[@TehInfamousLol]

The only white stripes video to include blue colors and not red.

[@mrlolzboy1]

It has the coler red quite the few times tho.. Like look at the right corners at 0:40

[@CesarMolinaL]

the suit at 1:10-1:16

[@johnblimbo]

You took a red video, turned it blue.

[@boyman7823]

Ben theres still some red

[@joshronicle8261]

[@adamhillbrant]

...so about an hour ago i learned that orchid comes from the greek word orchis meaning testicles. best part of my day

[@Tommy2704]

blue balls XD

[@grimjoff7756]

wait, it "didn't you"? lol i thougt its " dead in you", which doesnt make sense XD

Haha yes

[@Dat1frog]

I think anyone with good taste would agree with you

[@brianbushue]

agreed

[@kelleykirby8227]

Me too, Love this album forever. I love Meg too but Jack is so sexy

[@TK-592]

This band rocked my world. Lots of the kids growing up with me were listening to such radically different things than this album. They didn’t understand it but I loved every second of it.

[@darbyfayanna9393]

I have these memories of seeing this video on MTV frequently when I was super young, when MTV was still about music. always my favorite

[@nevergrowingupnevergetting7352]

So innocent & nieve lol. MTV is about youth pop culture & targeted marketing, it was never just about music. It's primary function was & still is to sell products aimed at the young people who watch it by advertising between videos/shows they like to watch. As pop culture changes so does the content, so do the adverts. If the advertising stops paying because they're no longer on trend MTV will disappear.

[@newparadigmbeings4127]

I was 12 years old when this was on MTV 👍

[@Sha0linShadowb0xing]

Thats crazy because i remember the same and the girl swinging in the beginning always stuck in my head and ive been trying to find this actual music video for years..was too young and never remembered the name.

[@haydenwalls5769]

@@nevergrowingupnevergetting7352 so true lol... but I do think she just meant before mtv was using reality tv exclusively to attract people's attention to the ads, instead of music videos. but all that being said I'm pretty sure that by the time this song/video came out, it was already a bunch of shows like room raiders, Next, and parental control or whatever. so she is kinda wrong on both counts lol. sorry boo (op), love you

[@RobertoRodriguez-ok8we]

Today MTV Is bullshit

[@ch1nmuzak]

Blows my mind that this was a 2 piece band. Even live. Such a full sound.

[@notyourbusiness313]

this video is iconic, I remember it blew my mind when it came out. Floria Sigismondi is a brilliant director.

[@jacksonmade3667]

One of the bands that has found timeless art in minimalism. This Duo is all time period. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I saw Jack White at a PetCo in Chicago once.

[@michellesola2811]

What kind of animal was he looking at?

[@isabellavan1325]

Probably a snake or a lizard XD

When I was a kid I thought he was Johnny Depp

[@jamesbourne1521]

Jack White is the Johnny Depp that always doesn't have facial hair.

[@NAUGHTYBEARFREAK]

I'm amazed yet honored to be one of the very first people to comment on a White Stripes video that was released 12 years ago.

[@andyd6338]

One of the first? I see a comment that was written 5 years ago and 1.7k comments overall

[@andyd6338]

KZbin was down last week so that might be why it looked like there were no comments

[@fer3371]

Basically, you are a living legend

[@parentalonion6552]

Yeehaw

[@ThereEbumpin]

I remember first seeing it on mtv

[@kynthos]

I worked as a PA on this video. Randomly ended up smoking a cigarette with Meg, just the two of us. We chatted for a while, she was lovely, sweet, shy, and all dolled up in her costume. It was a great moment.

[@annabellelinden8251]

I don't think it's weird, I think it's unique. how many music videos do u see now a days that all look the same? this is art a sense of style

[@nonix824]

I've seen them live and it was just EPIC!!!!

[@RByrne]

Same, one of their last shows. Toronto Molson Amphitheatre. What a great show, even had Meg singing a couple songs, including Jolene. Wish they would get back together

[@luchadortacosmaine2826]

My girl just started learning drums, we are now learning every whitestripes song. I realize that I never really appreciated those songs as a kid, they kinda felt like stepping stones while learning guitar. Anyway, glad to be back after about 15 years.

[@anazrna]

If you said stepping stones while learning drums? Cool. But Guitar God himself was your abc of learning the guitar? Dude.. seriously. 😁

[@Dat1frog]

@@anazrna I have only been playing guitar for two years and playing some of their songs has really put into perspective how great Jack white is at guitar.
