That sounds like the beginning to a filthy joke about powdered wigs and Faygo, but those three parties are actually getting together for what should be a wild collaboration.
According to the greatest press release ever written by a human, band collector/empire runner Jack White will be producing a new version of a forgotten Mozart ditty called “Leck Mich Im Arsch” (which apparently translates to “Lick Me in the A–” — as Amadeus proved, Wolfie adored a good bawdy joke). To execute the song, White has called on fellow Detroit natives Insane Clown Posse to add new lyrics to the melody that will be played by Nashville garage-metallers JEFF the Brotherhood.
The track will be available on September 13 both digitally and as a seven inch single (it wouldn’t be a White production without some level of vinyl scarcity). The b-side will be a song called “Mountain Girl,” which is apparently an ICP rap about a shotgun wedding and meth addiction.
We haven’t heard the song yet (there is some sort of small preview here), but obviously it’s one of the most awesomely unusual tag-teams to come up in a while. UPDATE: OH WOW.
Then again, considering Alice Cooper is working with Ke$ha and Kid Rock has teamed up with just about everybody, maybe slightly crazy people from Detroit are destined to work in unusual pairings.
Readers, what do you think?

He’s lost it. No wonder Meg won’t work with him anymore.
Let me get this straight… Jack and the ICP are going to remake a song from a classical composer from hundreds of years ago? And the song is about buttholes? Did I read this correctly? This isn’t April 1st is it?
I’d rather listen to Jack BLACK than Jack White.
I had to go back and read it, and then at the bottom is said Alice Cooper is working with Kesha. My head hurts now. Ouch.
this will prove the scientific theory of two negatives making a positive wrong. Two bad artists will not output a good product.
Wow I didn’t even know ICP was still alive. Don’t hate on it until you hear it. I bet it blows away all of our ear pu$$ies.
You’re Jack White. You can do anything you want – reunite the White Stripes, put out another Dead Weather or Raconteurs album, produce another Loretta Lynn album – and yet you call up ICP? I mean, what a way to bulldoze a legacy in the making…
Jack White sucks, he always has. The White Stripes were a joke, a kid banging on pots and pans would sound better than Meg did on the drums.
ICP also sucks, no talent whatsoever. I wonder what all the “Jugaloos” will think of this collaboration? Will they think Jack is cool enough to work with their “heroes” in ICP?
This is what music has come to and it is a shame. Is anybody really going to be listening to this s**t 10 years down the road?
Jack White’s a bad artist? On what planet? Is it opposite day in the comments?
Jack White is awesome. ICP is quite possibly the worst band in the history of music. This is a Jack White production I have no interest in.
Jack must have lost a bet, I can’t think of any other possible explanation for this news.
I’m dumber for having listened to this
my jaw has dropped. i love jack white….hate isnt a strong enough word for my feelings on ICP. i am dumbfounded!
my feelings exactly. Maybe this is some kind of weird experiment.
Yeah I’m not sure where the Jack White hatred is coming from. Let’s put aside this ICP craziness for a moment and recognize that White is one of the people who helped bring back the guitar from the edge of drifting off into meaningless pop-rock nothingness. You all need to watch “It Might Get Loud” before you judge White. In fact, any fans of rock of any kind need to watch that movie. And can we please stop it with the Meg White bashing? The White Strips, wouldn’t have that same unique sound were it not for her drumming.
And yes I love Jack White, but this ICP crap is incredibly stupid. And could they at least pronounce Mozart’s name correctly please? As if he weren’t rolling over in his grave enough over this.
It Might Get Loud is fantastic! That is all.
i am a HUGE jack white fan i am just confused on why jack why?
APRIL FOOL !!!! Wait….
exactly..LOL
Jack White.
This is very pathetic and disappointing. Wow.
I thought you were cool and talented but turns out that you’re just good with the guitar.
I may just dump everything I own of yours just because now I know that you’re a tool.
Too bad. I liked you but I cannot support this crap.
I think it’s just a joke. Or at least I hope it’s a joke.
This is stupid but why so much hatred. Imagine it was Lil Wayne or some other black rap group?
