Episode Details

It's the White Stripes' breakout hit. Just 110 seconds of fury, 'Fell in Love With a Girl' captures Jack and Meg at their catchiest, creating one of their most explosive songs amid the frantic, stressful environment they built for themselves at Easley McCain Recording in February 2001.

Ryan and Strombo discuss George's connection to the White Stripes, from following the band since their debut album to interviewing Jack and Meg multiple times over the years. They also dig into the happy accident that led to the iconic LEGO stop-motion music video and explore how 'Fell in Love With a Girl' evolved over time.
