I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says "Leave it alone"
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says "Find a home"
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says "Find a home"
I'm going to Uppsala
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me "Go back home"

While I thought this a mockery of the original. I've changed my mind and now think it adds a special texture to the original. There is no derision of The White Stripes only a celebration of its ameleriations!

An 8 from me. The chanting, keening in the background, a thick bass drum, and God knows what all else getting thumped ... Vikings!
Bumping to a 9 - love that beat!

There sure are a lot of covers of this song.
IMO, this is better than the original and the comments are better than this.
Sort of reminds me of one of those SNL music videos.
Loving this, a big jug of mead, more of this and Valhalla's looking like an option

RP needs to start a cover channel to play all this music for those who want to hear covers all day. Not on the main mix which should originals almost exclusively
The kind of cultural fusion you expect when they are counting the Eurovision votes.

This could be inspiration for one of those old RatherGood kitten videos.
Just as good as the original, and I love the original!
So awful.

This is super weird. I love it. I lol'd at replacing Wichita with Uppsala. :)

What a feckin' brilliant and disturbing cover, and the band is soooo RP. Scando-Gallic folk. That is seriously different :o)
Opinion alert: Shite, pure shite...!
Maybe amusing the 1st time around, but not worthy of the airplay it receives here IMHO...
Please stop it RP... Please?

Always thought this sounded like a Viking raiding party song. Can just see the warships rowing into port belting this out. hah

Strange that I should feel slightly embarassed to be enjoying this. OK so there's a element of pantomime about it, but then music is entertainment after all.... We love your broad church Bill & Rebecca!

Had to increase this to a 10 from a 6 because Vikings are doing this
I love me a wildly reimagined cover!

Deep throat vocals would sound better.
...well i quite liked it myself, on first hearing at any rate.
Used to do a cover of this with my old band. It was fun to play.

The cover looks like my river raiding crew from Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
A decent cover.
Yeah....I'm probably a little too hillbilly for this, but to each his own.

Sung by real Vikings as it was meant to be. Love it!
Make it stopppppppp!
Thanks but no thanks.
It's seems I'm in the minority about this cut. The Viking Chant element works for me, gave it an 8.
I don´t like Cover-Songs. It´s just plain boring. 2 at max.
This would've been better if they'd been from Greenland.

Wikipedia says "folk", but this is more like "folk-derived", not the same. I would like to hear some of their stuff that's not in English.

not my type of music. But funny cover.

"I'm going to Uppsala".

LIke the female lead voice on this cover version.
Must say I prefer the Ben 'Ocle (sp) version better.
Going with a 6 rating on my listen of this one.

Not working for me. The original is so much better.
The only thing worse than The White Stripes is someone covering The White Stripes.

Kinda cool, a solid 8 i think. Better then Ben l'Oncle Soul's version....but Jack still wins!
This is why I love RP. I don't really care for this cover, but if you don't know what you don't like, how will you know what you *do* like?
You do you, BillG!
You do you, BillG!
And the message coming from my EARS
Says "Leave it alone"
OMG 
Made me look.
It sucks, but I like the song (and artist) please no
