WATCH: Postmodern Jukebox gives White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army' a vintage gloss
Postmodern Jukebox has done it again, this time with a cover of the 2003 White Stripes song "Seven Nation Army."
For the unacquainted, Postmodern Jukebox is a band that specializes in performing pop songs through a vintage screen, in this case, a cabaret-like vibe the group likens to a New Orleans dirge.
Haley Reinhart, 24, a former "American Idol" contestant, channels the thumping rock song in a rich, vampy chanteuse style. The cover, uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, is nearing 200,000 views. ...

Watch Haley Reinhart & Postmodern Jukebox's Jazzy 'Seven Nation Army' Cover
By Michele Amabile Angermiller | August 14, 2015 12:45 PM EDT
American Idol season 10 alum Haley Reinhart is going places -- specifically, Wichita -- in this scorching new collaboration with Postmodern Jukebox on the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.”
The new track -- included on Postmodern Jukebox’s latest release, Swipe Right For Vintage -- transforms the alternative rock song into what the group describes as a “New Orleans funeral march.”
Reinhart wraps her sultry, trademark growl around more than the lyrics. Several times, she goes the extra mile and mimics the instrumentation to create dramatic atmospherics. ...

Creep is a continuous loop of four chords: G...B...C...Cm. Anyone wanting to learn to play guitar and learn Creep as your first lesson, could be playing it by tomorrow! Mind you, just because you CAN kinda play it doesn't mean anyone will actually WANT to hear you play it. . . just yet . . . but at least you will know the song! Oh yeah, and don't be alarmed but your fingers will likely be bleeding profusely as you are simultaneously crying out in pain! But the world awaiteth your proficiency so "Carry on my wayward son (or daughter). . . . Don't you cry no more."
The engine to Seven Nation Army is even easier than that . . . built on 5 notes (with a bit of deviation) that the above-mentioned novice could figure out and memorize in 5 MINUTES!
The point being . . . there are thousands (millions???) of songs that could be called repetitious. Thankfully, many of those should be called brilliantly repetitious. I think Scott's slight and very temporary dilemma was how to turn into ragtime that driving pounding relentless riff that is not exactly ragtime friendly. I'd say from the Periscope stream yesterday he sounded pretty happy with the outcome!
