Ultraglide In Black, 2001
Written by Mick Collins
This song happens to be the only one of this album that is not a cover. This song is soul music, but revved up and mixed with garage rock and punk sensibilities for the modern palate. Its message is one familiar to soul and R&B: the narrator's love turned out to do him wrong, bat eyes at other guys, make a fool of him. "You're always tryin to get the best of me / Tryin' to make me feel small." '60s surf guitar riffs and "yeah yeah" choruses keep the tempo fast and the sound a wall. This band should be as famous as the White Stripes.
