Number four, which White Stripes song includes the lyrics, "I'm going to Wichita, far from this opera forevermore." If you've been to a stadium in the last 15 to 20 years, you've definitely heard this song.

It is Seven Nation Army.

Ted, you turned on the computer over here.

Hamza sang Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes.

So many great picks this week.

Again, scenario, what is a song that feels patriotic without being a patriotic song? Inso, get us your picks.

Let's see.

Jack White, of course, of the White Stripes.

Heard of him.

Most people think he was born in Detroit.

No, I'm getting other stuff set up.

This is White Stripes.

Yeah, that's White Stripes.

Oh, White Stripes.

Getting all my ducks in a row, so I'll be ready to leave at 4.

I don't blame you.

He don't consider it cheating

sages of the ages that was fell in love with a girl by the white stripes i'm just now realizing there's like a what is that noise unclear something outside maybe

Yeah, it must be.

There's just a slight buzz somewhere.

Kevin Shields is very transparent about how he makes his records.

He says the average My Bloody Valentine track is about one or two guitar tracks, so less than a White Stripes or Cramps record.

I can only get away with having one or two guitars at any one point because if you put a few on, then it basically took away from the effect that sounded smaller and smaller.

Basically, a My Bloody Valentine record has the same amount of tracks on it as most bands demos do.

Late 90s becomes the mid-2000s, and the pendulum swings back.

Now we've got the The Bands, The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Hives, The Vines.

Now instead of ultra-polished music magazines, it's the emergence of blog culture.

American Apparel and Urban Outfitters come on the scene, Cobra Snake on-camera flash style photography, MySpace, underground parties, and eventually what would be called indie sleaze, or another style, scenesters.

You ever seen this one? Which one? Hardest Button to Button?

By White Stripes? Yes, that's a good one.

That's a good one, too.

Yeah.
