Still special after nearly 10 years... | Reviewer: VoodooPigeon | 5/26/10
This is a very interesting song, covering the Don Van Vliet - orginally Don Glen Vliet - a.k.a Captain Beefheart, orginal. It entails the story of a man's trip of drugs, sent to an orgy (hence "party of special things to do") by the "Ace of Love", whilst meeting several characters, inlcuding the "Red Queen", "Elixir Sue" and the "Mirror Man". Originally released along with two other Beefheart covers on the 7" single of the same name, "Party.."'s throbbing and chunky guitar riff exemplifies Jack White's ability to bring something new to an old classic song, punctuated by Meg White's thumping bass and crystal-clear cymbals. This really is quite a record; not only as a song on its own, but as a collection of songs given the red-and-white blues-rock twist.
