Send "Blue Orchid" ringtones to your cell

You got a reaction 
You got a reaction didn't you? 
You took a white orchid 
You took a white orchid turned it blue 

Something better than nothing 
Something better than nothing, it's giving up 
We all need to do something 
Try keep the truth from showing up 

How dare you? 
How old are you now, anyway? 
How dare you? 
How old are you now, anyway? 

How dare you? 
How old are you now, anyway? 

You're given a flower 
But I guess that there's just no pleasing you 
Your lips tastes sour 
But you think that it's just me teasing you 

You got a reaction 
You got a reaction, didn't you? 
You took a white orchid 
You took a white orchid turned it blue 

Get behind me 
Get behind me now, anyway 
Get behind me 
Get behind me now, anyway 

Get behind me 
Get behind me now, anyway 

You got a reaction 
You got a reaction, didn't you? 
You took a white orchid 
You took a white orchid turned it blue

62 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Finally heard it on AOL Music... I like it! *Very* different from previous songs I heard from The White Stripes. BIG word of advice (I think anyway: If you don't like a falsetto, ass-shaking (well, compared to TWS sound) White Stripes song, then avoid it. If not, play it and count the days until June 7 for Get Behind Me Satan!!!

13,401 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal that would be cool if they released the album June 6th at 6:00 so it would be 666 and the album is called Get Behind Me Satan. Get it?

85 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I'm blown away. I can't remember the last time I felt this way about a song. This could be the next Smells Like Teen Spirit... if any song is going to be the symbol of this so called rock revolution, it's this one. I mean, sure, maybe it's just ridiculous speculation, but hell, I sure hope it's true. Very different to anything I've heard of the Stripes before. But at the same time it's still them. So simple, so catchy, so... I don't know the word to describe it but I'm sure there is one. I just want to listen to it over and over again. Can't wait to buy the album... in two days!!!

2,208 posts	WTF?!?! This song is s**t compared to their old stuff!!! It doesn't even sound like a song, just this crap guitar riff played over and freakin over again, (if the riff was like Seven Nation Army then it would be ok) and the same falsetto from Jack White, seriously If this song is anything to go buy, Im no way spending my money on "Get Behind Me Satan". That is all.

9 posts	I just heard the complete album and it is totaly different from the previous album Elephant. Blue Orchid is the best song on the album and also the heaviest. One thing I must admit, this album kicks ass

85 posts	Best single yes... in fact it's even better than 7 nation army as a single. But it's not their best in terms of actual musical worth... that would have to go to Ball or Biscuit or Take, Take, Take in my opinion.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal It's a lot different from their usual sound. More rockier. Which I think is a good thing. I like their other albums but this one has quickly become my favourite. Their going in a direction I like. Especially with this song. Top Notch!
