This week’s installment of the Late Nite Delight Awards brings you a double dose of everyone’s favorite are-they-related? are-they-married? are-they-related-and-married? duo: The White Stripes.
Although technically a music video, this clip does feature the band performing “The Denial Twist” on the Conan O’Brien show (and then eating dinner with the host afterwards). Directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, “Fell In Love With A Girl,” “The Hardest Button To Button”), this groundbreaking video is a reference to when the band performed for an unprecedented four straight days on the late night talk show back in 2003. Between all the distorted figures and funhouse-esque imagery (intended to simultaneously represent what it’s like to watch and be on television in one shot), watch for the replica Conan O’Brien head — which the duo actually presented to the host on the last night of their run.
Date: 6/18/2007
Artist: The White Stripes
Show: Late Night With Conan O’Brien
Synopsis: For those of you craving an actual, live late night talk show performance, I’ve got you covered, too. I hope you haven’t reached your quota of The White Stripes for today because it’s in your best interest to check out the duo playing an up-close-and-personal acoustic version of “Cause and Effect” (from its most recent release, Icky Thump) while sitting amongst Conan’s studio audience. Awkward? Awesome? Uncomfortable? Unparalleled? And what’s that guy in the blue-and-white striped shirt doing around the 2:12 mark? So many questions, Jack and Meg, so many questions.
