White Stripes, The - Though I Hear You Calling, I Will Not Answer Lyrics

The White Stripes put so much more special sauce into their work than all their contemporaries and it’ll always show.

I put this on my answering machine. I will never answer a call again

If anyone else knows what the first three seconds are from you are a true fan

It’s from their single “Candy Cane Children”, if you search “The White Stripes Silent Night” it will come up :)

Megs got a nice tan

Love the b sides from The White Stripes😍 "Who's a Big Baby?" "Honey, We Can't Afford to Look This Cheap" and "Party of Special Things to Do" are among my faves. This one rules too of course!

WHO ARE THESE IMPOSTERS IN THE PHOTO

Is the official cover of the White Stripes single "Blue Orchid"

Though I hear you calling
I will not answer
Though I hear you calling
I will not answer


And the sun may shine
Right through your tooth, dear
And the wind may blow
Right through my ear


Though I hear you calling
I will not answer
Oh, I hear you calling
No, I will not answer


I broke your code
And I broke your code


Come on hit me, yeah, yeah
Come on hit me, yeah, yeah
Come on hit me, yeah, yeah


Come on hit me, yeah, yeah
Come on hit me, yeah, yeah
Come on hit me, yeah, yeah


I will not answer, yeah
Though I hear you calling
No, I will not answer


The sun may shine
Out to your mouth, dear
And the wind may blow
Right through my ear


Though I hear you calling
Oh, I will not answer
Though I hear you calling
But I will not answer


Calling and I broke your code
I will not answer, I will not answer
I will not answer, I will not answer
I will not answer, I will not answer
I will not answer


Though I hear you calling
I will not answer
Though I hear you calling
But I will not answer


And I will not answer
And I broke your code
Um, broke your code
Yeah, umm


Though I hear you calling
And the sun is shining
I will not answer
Right through your tooth, dear


The way we plan it
It’s an extra
Because it’s extra convenient
For just three dollars

Lovvveeeee

Hello Sister

I've been trying to figure out that clip at the end forever. It's from the original song they are covering here, but I can't find the Name or artist of the original!

no, its jack as a little kid that "sings" the song

yes . :)

@RussianThickness1 The voice on Let's Build a Home is some other kid, you can hear Jack in the background asking him to sing that "song about the little red box."

@cookmoore yes, they did a couple album covers like this with different people as Jack and Meg

Copy of the white stripes.

neverrnever will i answere dat tele/...txtonlytxt @n$dis wrld yes!!!

Love it! :)

only way is by downloading it..

thats what i meant
i hate the speech bits at the start, theyre dead annoying

No, but it is the same guy that's on the start of Little Acorns.

the start is the ending of silent night from the record merry christmas from the white stripes

is the guy speaking at the start of this the same guy from lets build a home?
and at the end... wtf?

If you mean "Little Acorns," this is Mort Crim again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mort_Crim

whats with the picture?

Oh my god this is genius

ahha lol me 2....wayyy too much of a stalker, i am :D

i love this song :) :P

It was drafted just for the song; it's Mort Crim, a radio personality from Detroit. 'long time ago' is relative.

Mort Crim was a radio personality in Detroit (not all that long ago). The opening bit was drafted just for the album.

i read somewhere that the spoken word in the beginning (same one from little acorns) is from a radio show that was popular a long time ago or something.

Anyone knows where to get 'The White Stripes B-Side Collection? I've been looking every where, but i can't find it. Please help me.

oh yeah good point XD LMAO !! :P

hah yea, hmm unless someone posts what the stripes had recorded of this dude... :D

i think it was supposed to be a sort of "alternate cover" :P yeah your right she does kinda look like cher :P

lol :P tis a mystery :P

oh it might be...:) i dunno

oh i thaught he said "ponder what's there"

iTunes is definitely weird like that that. The only way right now to get "Baby Brother" is to buy the iTunes album "Icky Thump"--they don't sell just the song separately. Grrr.

well, itunes DID have it, on the japanese extended cd version, but or unknown reasons, itunes had it removed =/

1 and 2. No, it's Jack with a manipulated voice (all of the voices are Jack's)
3. It's a b-side to Blue Orchid--which is still pretty cheap for a CD single. iTunes might even have it, though I haven't checked.

who the hell are they she looks like cher?

umm whats with that pic?

omg in the beginning its the voice from little acorns he says "ponder whats vic..." cuts off then

heehee

peppermints53 that’s not his voice at all

if you were a "massive" Jack White fan, you, like myself, could spot his voice a mile away.

This is Jack

It's jack white an octave up. I ran this song through my whammy pedal =P, sounds like him alot.

Few Questions:
1. Is that a baby around the beginning?
2. Who's doing the chipmunk voice MEG OR JACK?
3. CAN YOU SEND ME THIS PLEASE!

open ur gbms album, look at one of the pictures. the lady here sits on a busstop with jack =).

the little tiny bit of voice in he beginning sounds like the guy from little acorns

wths the pic @ the beginning?!

Does anyone have any guitar tabs for this???
Cant find anything worth bothering with anywhere!
Great track.

i have the exact same copie of thew song with the reading of the story of the magi bit at first and the commercial in the end...don't know where i got it though...

cool song
but i thought that b side of blue orchod was (vinyl) the nurse (cd) who's a big baby and you've got her in your pocket.
was it hidden track?

Wow, thanks you! Crazy-weird song :D Love it

Thanks!
