This song doesn’t have bass in it but it’s challenging to get the timing right so it sounds 
right with the guitar and the drums. Fairly easy song but it is the White Stripes so simplicity 
rules!!!

	this was the first song that jack wrote with meg. they were sitting at his kitchen table and there was a screwdriver on the tavle and he wrote this sitting there. its amazing, and yes, jet totally stole this riff.

	jack white said this song was about when he got threatened on the street.

	it's really a fun and simple riff to play, and it ROCKS! but about the song....i dont know, maybe it's just my perverted mind, but does anyone else find something wrong with the line, "Then think about your little sister, then you got to drive it home..."? i'll leave it at that

No Picture freekymayne Wanna Be	#4 by freekymayne at Feb 13, 1985 at 9:53 AM EST
	i thought about that once too, about drivin it home and stuff but i read on answers.com that its about jack when he saw someone get threatened on the subway

	so my uncle is friends with jack...i think hes the tommy that he calls

No Picture Bun Wanna Be	#6 by Bun Nugz at Sep 3, 1994 at 6:57 AM EST
	This is such an awesome song. It's really underrated, I think. The whole White Stripes album is, really, people are always talking about Elephant and Seven Nation Army and all. Definitely one of their best songs.

	There's a line missing, in the end of the 3rd verse.. And like an apple cut right through me >>I'm not just gonna stand there grinnin cause I'm not the one who's sinnin
