The Electric Six originally recorded this in 2001. After the band signed to XL Records, they re-recorded it, and the song hit #2 in the UK in 2003.
Jack White of White Stripes contributed backing vocals to the 2002 re-recorded version. The band claimed their guest singer only sounded like White, and was really an auto mechanic named John S. O'Leary.
This was featured in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. >>
