Sometimes these feelings can be so misleading

I have seen my fair share of music videos, and I've always appreciated artists who use them as a chance to be unique. Anyone can slap together a performance video showing their "live energy"; or round up some hoochies so they can lounge around some expensive car in their underwear. That's why the White Stripes were so refreshing: considering they employed a stripped-down sound, usually consisting of a single guitar and drums, they had quite a few creative videos.

Their first outing was "Fell in Love With a Girl", which is under two minutes of Lego-animated fun. Really, there isn't much more to it than that, but it did introduce them to the main stream. And this was just a taste of things to come, as we will be seeing more of the White Stripes later.
