When I saw the

Pitchfork

headline "Watch the Bizarre New Dead Weather Video," I was kind of excited. That didn't last long. (Nothing against the video, which Mr. Jack White directed and is pretty neato overall.) I guess I was just hoping for something a little more, I dunno, bizarre. Something less hammy and eyebrow-y and Chaplin-discovers-taxidermy. Sure, the thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense, in any kind of linear, the-visuals-reinforce-the-theme-of-the-song-as-I-lip-sync-the-lyrics kind of way, but "bizzare"? I mean, it's no "

Obscure

."
