Lyrics:
We started living in an old house
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
It was a baby boy, so we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun, and it was 1981

We named him 'Baby', he had a toothache
He started crying, it sounded like an earthquake
It didn't last long, because I stopped it
I grabbed a rag doll and stuck some little pins in it

Now we're a family, and we're alright now
We got money, and a little place to fight now
We don't know you, and we don't owe you
But if you see us around, I got something else to show you

[Instrumental Break]

Now it's easy when you don't know better
You think it's sleazy? Then put it in a short letter
We keep warm, but there's just something wrong with you
Just feel that you're the hardest little button to button

I had opinions that didn't matter
I had a brain that felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard with nothing in it
Except a stick, a dog, and a box with something in it

The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
Uh-oh
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
Uh-oh
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button

[Instrumental Break]

The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
Uh-oh

This song is my favorite mode of transport.

[lt-yxhx]

"I'm gonna call an uber."
"Nah, don't worry, I brought my bass drum."

[CrowwreakStevenson]

"Yeah, I'd like 32 drum kits, 32 amps, and 16 mic stands please"

"How big is your band?"

"Two people"

[TRamone]

The beat, the riff, lyrics, melody. The hardest button to button. Minimally magnificent.

[stopthatmikey]

The crew who carried all the drums and amps for each take must be commended for their commitment to art!!

[KingJellalTV]

Can we just appreciate how much time, effort, and energy this must have taken to do one music video?

[silverpersonlol]

"How many drum kits do you want?"

"Yes"

[anncolvin]

I absolutely love this couple's music. The way they can take the simplest things and make great songs of it. This was the most creative video I have seen in a while.

[Frakymetl]

Every time I play this song on the drums I end up in another city.

[strawberrylemonadekristina]

Absolute adore White Stripes videos. Their videos should be the gold standard for how other bands present their music visually. Every time I hear this kick ass song I see this video in my head and that is just righteous with me.

[sgfrenchtutor]

this was probably the hardest video to video

[tyler]

I’m exhausted trying to imagine all the labor required for this stop motion

[cmacdhon]

I could never understand people who say Meg was not a good drummer. She could play every White Stripes song perfectly. She didn't need to be better than that.

[soonergirl]

The director: How many drumsets will you need?
The White Strips: All of them

[brettyacyshen]

*Girlfriend:* Hey babe, you need me to pick you up?

*Boyfriend:* Nah, I'm gonna take the bass

[senzanome]

Every time I listen to it (very often) I can't stop myself from moving my head like a pigeon and tapping my foot on the floor to the rhythm of the bass and drums. Epic song.

[dr.mofongo]

So grateful I got to see them live. Unlike any other show I’ve ever attended. Phenomenal 🔥

[octavianeandracles]

"what do you mean you need all the drums of my shop ? "

[FlavioPereira-tcdj]

dude, the making of this mustve been literal hell

[kuuurtiscool]

I love that I grew up with the white stripes, my dad would always play their songs on the TV. This song and music video gives me so much nostalgia(: it brings me at ease
