About the Song:The White Stripes formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The rock duo consisted of Meg White on drums and percussion and Jack White on vocals, guitar, and keyboards. The two were married in 1996 but divorced in 2000. That didn’t stop them from continuing to make music together and becoming pivotal in leading a garage rock revival in the early 2000s. They released two non-charting albums before gaining an audience with the platinum-selling White Blood Cells in 2001. The album gave the duo their first chart hits with “Hotel Yorba,” “Fell in Love wih a Girl,” and “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.” “Fell in Love wih a Girl” “is a perfect piece of pop that’s more than a bit fractured – as modern love tends to be – but beautiful nonetheless.” TC Critics praised it “for its upbeat sound and confidence.” WK Jack “unleashes a manic vocal with truly visceral intensity” AM His “quirky high-range delivery” AM shines “through with a wild, almost cartoonish inflection that gives the track its distinct flavor.” AM He “hurls a dose of bubblegum-snapping humor into the breathless onslaught of words with jittery banter.” AM The video for “Fell in Love with a Girl” had an important hand in the song’s success. The Lego-animated video was directed by Michel Gondry, who later directed the critically-acclaimed movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). The video won MTV awards for Breakthrough Video, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing. It was also nominated for Video of the Year. Resources:
