About Icky Thump
"Icky Thump" is a Grammy Award-winning song recorded by the American alternative rock band The White Stripes. Written by Jack White, it is the first single released from Icky Thump. The name of the track comes from the Northern England exclamation "Ecky Thump," roughly meaning "what the heck?" The title was then changed to "Icky" so that "teenagers would understand it better back in America," in the same way Led Zeppelin took out the "a" so Americans wouldn't call them 'Lead Zeppelin' (pronounced 'leed')" . .
Icky Thump Lyrics
[00:20.94] Ah, icky thump, who'da thunk?
[00:22.50] Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico
[00:25.76] Ah well, what a chump
[00:27.01] Well, my head got a bump
[00:28.17] When I hit it on the radio
[00:30.53] Redhead señorita looking dead
[00:32.58] Came and said, "Need a bed?" in Español
[00:35.32] I said, "Gimme a drink of water
[00:36.54] I'm gonna sing around the collar
[00:38.02] And I don't need a microphone"
[00:40.94]
[01:18.22] Icky thump with a lump in my throat
[01:20.07] Grabbed my coat and I was freaking, I was ready to go
[01:23.36] And I swear besides the hair she had one white eye
[01:25.85] One blank stare, looking up, lying there
[01:28.21] On the stand near her hand was a candy cane, black rum, sugar cane
[01:31.67] Dry ice and something strange
[01:33.42] La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
[01:38.15]
[02:20.69] White Americans, what? Nothing better to do
[02:23.03] Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too
[02:26.32] Who's usin' who? What should we do?
[02:28.07] Well, you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too
[02:31.20]
[02:36.39] Icky thump, handcuffed to a bunk
[02:38.30] Robbed blind, looked around, and there was nobody else
[02:41.31] Left alone, I hit myself with a stone
[02:43.12] Went home and learned how to clean up after myself
[02:46.32]
[00:22.50] Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico
[00:25.76] Ah well, what a chump
[00:27.01] Well, my head got a bump
[00:28.17] When I hit it on the radio
[00:30.53] Redhead señorita looking dead
[00:32.58] Came and said, "Need a bed?" in Español

[00:36.54] I'm gonna sing around the collar
