This week’s A.V. Undercover clip caught me by surprise: I would have predicted of Montreal would cover Prince’s “Little Red Corvette,” Kanye, or even Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping,” but Kevin Barnes and Co. opted to rock a White Stripes classic instead. While the quartet did a solid job at channeling Jack and Meg’s hyped-up garage-rock breakthrough, what truly shines here is Barnes’ impressive take on Jack White’s previously inimitable vocals. Check it out above.
