Listen: Jack White Teams Up With Insane Clown Posse, JEFF The Brotherhood, Covers Mozart

The single, backed by ‘Mountain Girl’, will be released on 13th September.

Jack White has teamed up with Insane Clown Posse for the release of a new single through his own Third Man Records.

It’s actually slightly more strange than it initially sounds though, as it also involves Mozart and JEFF The Brotherhood.

Here’s what the label has to say about it:

‘Back in ‘82, ahem, 1782, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote a piece that’s been left out of the spotlight ever since. The title of the piece is ‘Leck Mich Im Arsch’ or literally translated to English as ‘Lick me in the arse’. Understandably this piece has figuratively been swept under the rug. So who better to give this piece it’s due respect than the wildly successful, much misunderstood, and divisive Southwest Detroit rappers Insane Clown Posse?

‘With fellow Southwest Detroit-born Jack White at the production helm and musical backing by Nashville’s very own Jeff the Brotherhood, this 2011 version of ‘Leck Mich Im Arsch’ marries Mozart’s melody (and lyrics sung in operatic German) with ICP’s poignant lyrical addition in English and Jeff the B’s monster-riffs, letting the whole thing tie together in the most beautiful of ways.’

The track, backed by ‘Mountain Girl’, will be released on 13th September.

One-hundred Tri-colour versions will also be available from the Third Man Rolling Record Store at the MI Fest in Brooklyn, Michigan on 17th September, with another 50 Tri-colours randomly inserted into mail orders dispatched by Third Man Records.
